None of them know we did this, and none of them have seen their portraits yet! 😂
Each work will be a 1/3.
1 edition will be dropped to the collector it honors, the next 2 available for purchase.
Sketcha has worked hard on these, and they are incredible. He will be donating 10% of sale proceeds to kidsandart.org, to help kids with cancer thru art.
All portraits will be priced at 1 ETH.
At noon PT tomorrow, they go live.
Stay tuned to grab a piece of history. And please share this to help support arts, and kids!
Our best,
Sketcha & CdM
P.S. I take no proceeds from this drop. I put this together to have some fun, help some kids, and expose more people to the talented pencil of @SketchaOfficial 🍷⚔️

Once in a great while, the sky parts & an opportunity appears, to acquire a historic relic from the early days of NFT
Presenting "AI Imagined Portrait #2" by @VanArman
SuperRare token #115, & 1st place winner in the 2018 Robot Art Contest
Here is the story of it's acquisition👇
Pinder Van Arman has spent the last 15 years teaching machines how to paint.
In his words:
"When I began with my first machines fifteen years ago, they were only capable of simple tasks, like connecting dots and painting by numbers..."
"... My most recent robots, however, use deep learning neural networks, artificial intelligence, feedback loops and computational creativity to make a surprising amount of independent aesthetic decisions. "
ANNOUNCEMENT: I helped a major celebrity buy their first Cryptopunk!
Sunday, Sept 5th. 3am. I am alone in my villa when my phone rings, on the line a dear friend who happens to be a global superstar.
Their question?
What are these NFTs everyone is talking about?!
In an exciting discussion I share with them 5 things:
1. NFTs represent true, verifiable ownership on the blockchain. Now, digital goods. Soon, everything.
2. NFTs will soon be in the hands of every man, woman & child. We are seeing it happen with youth in games like Roblox, with adults in things like Art Blocks.
3. Cryptopunks are perhaps the most important collection in our movement.
