🍷Fun announcement🍷

A special NFT drop, that benefits kids & art, and honors some of our favorite twitter frens, will be live tomorrow at noon PST!

I have commissioned the talented @SketchaOfficial to create portraits of:
@Anonymoux2311
@farokh
@jdh
@kevinrose
@KeyboardMonkey3
@krybharat
@punk6529
@seedphrase
@Vince_Van_Dough
@VonMises14

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👇 Image
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. "

I woke up today prepared to fight... for love ♥️
When I first saw @deekaymotion's 'Destiny', I found it cute.

I loved the way the girl grabbed the boy's hand after getting the flower, and pulled him into the door.
But then I saw the delightful animated struggle of the boy and girl finding each other.

The bumps and bruises, the trials and tribulations...

An event happening tomorrow could bring the entire traditional art world to it's knees.

If you're ready to hear how jpeg prices could facemelt up with the force of a freight train...

Cement a new NFT category that is as exciting as pfps and 1/1s...
And with NOTHING the naysayers can do to stop it...

Then buckle up my fren.

Because this could change EVERYTHING👇
Twin Flames is considered the definitive "OG" of NFT photography.

Created by @justinaversano, it is a moving collection of photos of twins, doing what they love.

Why did I just invest in a Cryptopunk when I already have significant exposure?

If you study networks, you find the focal point of a network tends to accrue a disproportionate amount of the value.

This is why Michael Jordan... <continues👇 >
... earned 100x the money of the next best NBA player.

Why Beyonce earns 50x more than the next best R&B singer.

And why J.K. Rowling sells 10x more than the next children's author.

Why?
When you are the focal point, you accrue the most exposure + the most opportunity.

This equals a halo effect that makes dethroning the #1 nearly impossible.

When it comes to NFTs...

I aped again! Just love these Fragments by @MonicaRizzolli

This work is #424, ranked 21st in rarity.

I find the colors + texture to be remarkable, and feel it is certainly a top 25 work. Some may even put it in their top 10.

However... 👇
I honestly feel my piece # 972, while ranked lower in rarity at 45th, could be the most visually striking in the entire collection.

It will be interesting to see how these end up being valued. Would love to hear your thoughts.

They are all fantastico!🍷🎨

Ok I need to talk more about this Collection :)

Here is another I keep coming back to. It's owned by @Akira. I tried to buy it, & when I clicked it was already his!

I mean, look at those stunning full flowers. Looks rare.

Rarity rank only #78, but this is a top 5 piece for me.

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.
