Boxy and MathCan are excited to announce their casting in Nouns: A Movie, The Rise of Blus!

The artists have already started to give us some sneak peeks and UglyDAO is excited to see Boxy and MathCan's Hollywood debut!
Boxy and MathCan aren't the only stars in UglyDAO though! The youngest of the Uggos is always making us so proud! Lil Purple Blueberry built Blueberry DAO to support local children’s charities. For their first project they partnered with Variety-the Children’s Charity in supporting the charity's Bikes for Kids program.
to 13yo Evie-Rose! Together with Variety the Children’s Charity and inspiration from Nouns ⌐◨-◨ , we’re making positive changes for kids in need.
Lil Purple Blueberry presented a bike and ⌐◨-◨ to Evie-Rose, who lives with scoliosis, and with a brother also living with disability. The presentation heralds a new era where digital assets translate to real-world impact. Blueberry DAO, steered by community consensus, is poised to redefine charity, ensuring transparency and direct impact.
"I'm super excited about the collaboration with Variety Children's Charity! When I started Blueberry DAO, my goal was to help kids who need support and make a difference in their lives. Building a community of kind-hearted people who want to help was a big dream, and using blockchain technology to do it allows the community to make decisions together. Plus, I get to make it all fun with my pixel art!
I really hope that other kids and families get inspired by what we're doing. We can all come together and do something good, no matter how big or small. It's amazing to see Variety as part of Blueberry DAO, especially after they joined through bidding on a PURP token. And together we're able to make a child happier through the proposal that the DAO funded for a bike package. Variety's expertise in charities and philanthropy is like a treasure chest of knowledge, and I can't wait to learn from them."
Amazing!! UglyDAO couldn't be prouder of our youngest member! Learn more about Blueberry DAO or pick up a token at: blueberrydao.xyz
AND another UglyDAO superstar -- Ripe's Opepen design will be featured in Jack Butcher's next drop 014 -- the Zopepen!
i've always felt like zorbs/zora and opepen share a similar dna. a focus on creativity within tight constraints, acting as building blocks to create something new, and of course simple geometry
Set 014: Zopepen | Opepen
we are all students of the zorb
The applause are coming from all around the Opepen community!
using the opepen platform as a distribution mechanism for showcasing the breadth of talent that exists here
more on that soon
thank you @ripe0x
and thank you all for reading and considering this set
ripe's expertise, time and energy directly contributed to the way in which opepen works, explained below:
Without Ripe, i would have never known that is even possible, and Opepen as we know it wouldn't exist today (on the same contract without a migration like for Checks).
Lovely work for Opepen Set 014: Zopepen by @ripe0x
@jackbutcher @jalil_eth
And of course there's even a couple editions you can collect that came before the Zopepen! So here's a fab way to collect Ripe's work!
