Welcome to week 17 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!

AF+ is a striking digital collage by Meta is Dope. It was an open edition, that I apparently missed. Boo. 

AF+ by Meta is Dope

I am in love with Ybellion's digital painting in a watercolor style. The details are excellent, and the cat's gaze is so hilariously intense. I wish I had collected this 1 of 1 Tezos NFT before it was snatched away from me. 

The Queen by Ybelion

There is something so compelling about this AI NFT on Tezos. I feel myself drawn into the gaze of this woman.

Christopher Fryant used Midjourney AI to enhance the beauty of Casey Broda's floral photography. The result is a surreal and lovely digital image that is bursting with life. 

Late Summer Medley by Casey Broda

This excellently odd piece comes with a poem by Anna van Tassell: "In a labyrinth of cells, Your song guides, Like a secret composer, That in us resides. For both body and mind, You are the chain, That links our mind’s notes, In a harmonious strain. While the sweet sonnet, Of your chemical serenade, Plays us the tune, Of how happiness is made. " All credit to Anna Van Tassell

Dopamine by Annavan Tassell

If you ever wondered what would have been created if Van Gogh had access to LSD, now you know. 

Frozen Wonderland by Adriano Chairetta

"Sharing the Silence" is a wonderfully contemplative piece of art.  My only regret is that I hadn't fallen a few weeks behind on these Community Showcases so that I could have collected an edition before it sold out. 

Sharing the Silence by Hakan Biyiklioglu

"Maral 6" creates a compelling visual story. The viewer is forced to consider where the woman at the center is heading, and why she is choosing to make such a trek. 

Maral 6 by Pantea

Mehmet used a low angle and a flat landscape to give this long little poppy a powerful sense of agency and importance. 

Poppy by Mehmet Karaca

I love this collage by Vlad. It's a gorgeous landscape scene, an intriguing sci-fi story, and a nostalgic throwback to the heyday of Instagram travel influencers circa 2012.

Journey by Vlad

Yoghi beautifully captures the joy of walking in the fog in this ultra crisp photograph. 

Misty Afternoon by Yoghi Juliansa

"Peace" by Sonyart is sweet and purrfect. It makes me keenly miss my dear cat, Athena as I reminisce about those sweet, loving cuddles.
