Bright Moments - CryptoCitizens - the concept and experience of IRL minting and reveal, as well as the inclusive philosophy behind the collection really cemented my love of gen art - hoping to mint all nine cities + a galactican
Tyler Hobbs - Fidenza. A couple of months and mints into discovering Art Blocks, I was on the first hole tee box with some golf buddies when Fidenza dropped, had a great time with my friends but regretted missing the drop, jumped in on secondary which quickly got out of reach - have this signed and hanging on the wall at home - the shapes and angles are disorienting if you look at them long enough and the rectangular frame breaks down into something more trapezoidal. Then a few months later I joined GrailersDAO and went to NYC for the reveal of the grail (#90) of Incomplete Control. Was a special event and also we all got Covid. That part wasn't fun.
Dmitri Cherniak - Ringers - unfortunately I discovered Art Blocks a couple of months after Ringers landed - but I was determined to get this Space Shuttle Ringer, as a symbol of generative art mooning, but Dmitri commenting himself on discord that he liked this particular floor Ringer was all the encouragement I needed
Snowfro - Chromie Squiggle - this slinky is endearingly referred to as the Spider Squiggle
Alexis Andre - Messengers - was one of the first collections where I couldn't stop minting
Matt Kane - Gazers - my first experience with ever changing art, and the one I wish most to put up on a screen to witness the changes each day
Ryan Bell - Sprocket Factory - ""A Doodle, Ringer, and Fidenza walk into a Space Bar"
More Art Blocks.
Trossets. One of the first Art Blocks to go dutch auction. I love this piece but also it reminds me of the poor mechanic that lead to so many buying way above true market value.
Right Click Share by XCOPY and Deca - grateful for a hoodie pixel in the collective
Miniscapes by Rich Poole and ThePaperCrane - the simple, minimalist landscapes really do "charm, delight, and surprise."
Auto Park by KilledByAPixel. Someone referred to this project as Cardenza. LOL. Love the variety and colors.
Exoplanets by Rickface.
Mediterranean by kira0 and Bardez by Nat Sarkissian. Hard to believe these collections are generative. Stunning detail and realism.
