Welcome to week 8 of the Tezos Tuesday Community Showcase on NFTARTWITHLAUREN.COM!

Each week, I reach out to the amazing Tezos artist community on Twitter to bring you the latest NFT pieces to highlight the diverse and wonderful art that has been minted on my favorite blockchain. 

Thank you to each artist who participated in this week's thread! 

This post represents my personal opinions and is NOT financial advice.

"Meltdown" is a fantastic digital illustration that depicts a person experiencing sensory overload. 

Often the best thing to do is to block out the outside sensations, and focus on your own breathing. 

OlyStuart captured this poignant piece of modern historical street photography. 

The search for justice continues to three years later. 

The Colorful Black cat is a wonderful example of Tezos art.

I love how Almir chose to combine the blurred pastels of the background with the crisp black and white lines of the cat in the foregroud. 

GuruGuruHyena's generative art is fun to look at.

At first, I thought the NFT art piece was a GIF because it appears to move and dance in front of my eyes. 

Grace expertly uses experimental photography techniques to express the blurry, confusing loneliness of grief. 

"Venus" is an excellent example of AI-art minted on the Tezos blockchain.

I love the twist on traditional Day of the Dead art by using a living character as the sugar skull. 

Radiant love shines in its details.

This pieces of digital art comes to life in the highlights and shadows. 

"Angelic Vision" is true cutting-edge art. An AI-angel lost in the metaverse is about as 2023 as it gets.  

I love Nina's watercolor paintings. I can get lost in the relaxing scenes she depicts. 

"Floating" is an eye-catching piece of NFT photography. 

It really does look that the model is falling through nothingness. 

I was impressed the first time I saw Amin's "Drifting".

The piece of art looks like it is caught between a photograph and a digital illustration, but it is in fact created using a 3D rendering technique. 

Arijitmondal's bird photography is so crisp and eye-catching.

The bird's sharp blue eyes and distinct feathers combined with the soft bokeh of the background is perfect. 

I love the effect of the shadows in this photograph. Soner is able to tell a complicated story with an otherwise simple travel shot. 

"Eye on You" is a beautiful piece of abstract macro photography.

This is a macro image of a blown glass sculpture.

This dancing man is a lot of fun. I am tempted to join in with him whenever I see this animated NFT.

"Transcension" reminds me of an epic block-buster sci-fi film. 

The model is being transported to another world, and I want to know his whole story. 

"Freedom" makes me smile. The freedom of summer nights, and the freedom to be yourself are palpable in this piece of art. 

When I think about Iovi's work, I think of this piece.

The face in the distorted record warps all sense of time, place, and reality. 

I really enjoy Aryan's scene created with AI-art and Photoshop. 

The reflection of the buildings on the ground catches my eye and reminds me of the kind of scene that would make me pause and pull out my camera in the real world. 

Mali's watercolor nature scenes are beautiful. I could get lost in the wilderness of her art. 

MSB created a gorgeous piece using oil on canvas. I would love to see the physical version of this work. 

I love what this piece expresses. Poets create magic with words. 

MAYUdrops created a stunningly crisp example of high speed water drop photography. 

I love the rainbow of colors at the base of the challis-like shape. 

"The Watchman" is an incredible example of digital collage using photography as a base.

This image transports my imagination to another world. 

Tobias' portrait is striking. The model is out on a joyride. She is enjoying the moment, feeling the summer air, and reveling in the sensation of being young.
