GM everyone !

3 years ago I got a shoutout from pak in a tweet.

Pak

@muratpak

Two #cryptonative creators I follow closely (and you should too)
@Nahiiko & @SHL0MS

#notaninvestmentadvice

It gave much much needed exposure (as it did for my beautiful friend and joker @SHL0MS), and I'm forever grateful to them for this.

Today, I do the same and share the 5 artists I think will make blockchain art interesting in the next months (besides me ofc 😁)

*me right now, actively shilling my favorite artists to you*

Bushi

If you loved my artworks from late 2020 you'll love Bushi.

Like me, they like to tinker with the medium and break a few rules, here's one of their most interesting works which literally crashes Opensea when it's displayed:

SNOW CRASH
Break the metaverse...
CONTRACT: 0xe3567441448dfC9Fd1aaE574EDcf628df2aa079f
CONCEPT

Drawing on inspiration from Neal Stephenson’s iconic novel, I set out to create an NFT that acted as a modern-day “Snow Crash” stored entirely onchain on Ethereum. My version utilizes…

Fun fact: it also crashed Warpcast, like the whole app

FelixFelixFelix

I remember sitting next to Felix when he launched Cypherdudes and the mint page didn't work. Nobody was able to mint, can you imagine the stress ?

Yet 8 months later, the 2048 editions project is minted out ! And secondary is going crazy.

CYPHERDUDES

@CYPHERDUDES

Gm!
And just like that, we're now minted out
A huge thanks for everyone that supported the project from the beginning to now.
Having hard time to find the right words expressing how grateful I am.
Much love

Thank you all so much

Why ?

Well Felix is not just a talented illustrator, he's also a BAAM (Blockchain As A Medium) believer.

As such, not only are Cypherdudes 100% onchain, they also contain a tool to communicate and store encrypted messages.

Haiku

Still Remember is my favorite haiku piece, and the one I'll use to present them.

@0xhaiku

The NFT is glitch art that corrupts over time; it can be temporarily restored by transfer, but if unmoved for three years, it becomes irreparable. Logic inspired by the forgetting theory of memory determines the number of bytes to be corrupted.

It's so poetic (pun intended), a perfect metaphor of human memories fading away. Using the Blockchain As A Medium (sounds familiar).

@0xhaiku

I saved a snapshot I took seven years ago on one happy eventful day to the blockchain. This is not a still-life picture, but a still-remember picture.

If you don't follow haiku, you're gonna miss a lot of interesting stuff in the future I'm sure. Your loss 😋

Shiroi

Also known as 0xfff, another great artist (somewhat of a recurring subject in this email don't you think ?)

0xfff.eth

@0xShiroi

Announcing: YOU ARE HERE

Release: Jan 8th at 10pm PST / 1pm EST / 19:00 CET

A fully onchain conceptual-generative edition – bridgable across 22 chains

0.1 ETH / 22 + 1

youarehere.0xfff.love

(1/n)

You know these apps that let you track phones with a GPS and visualize it's path ?

-> Now imagine you could do this with an NFT.

-> Now Imagine that NFT could travel through different blockchains.

Do I need to justify further why Shiroi is on this list ? What an amazing artwork.

0xG

My brother from another mother G.

@0x0000G

The first 1/1 in the Perpetual collection is “Fearless” – a free NFT that virtually costs 300ETH (around $500.000,00).

Will it ever exist?

Swim to 0xg.xyz/perpetual/mint for details and to mint x.com/0x0000g/status…

@0x0000G

Fearless

Selling an artwork for 300 ETH seems far-fetched for most. Not for G.

The buyer of this work needed to pay 300 ETH (but they would get the money back in the same transaction).

Every artist in this list shares a common trait. Ambition.

Ambition leads to uniqueness, which leads to beauty.

I'm grateful I have been given such a stage, and even more today,

to share the future of art with you.
