✍️ Notes: This piece is part of the Grails Collection from the Proof Collective. Tyler Hobbs is one of the best selling generative artists of all time, and background behind the wall does does not disappoint.

“Wall is an algorithmic appreciation of a brick wall - everything that it is made of, everything that has been added to it or removed from it, and everything that it interacts with."

✍️ Notes: I came across Susan Kare when reading about the inspiration for the Every Icon project. Susan is known as "the woman who gave the macintosh a smile".

Doughnuts is Susan's first NFT, an "icon snack". Given my love of doughnuts and early mac iconography, this was must have.

"Susan Kare is considered a pioneer of pixel art and of the graphical user interface, having spent three decades of her career "at the apex of human-machine interaction". Her icon portfolio has been featured as physical prints in the National Museum of American History, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science." - Wikipedia

✍️ Notes: The Official PFP project of the Proof Ecosystem, these birds are utility driven by a nesting (staking) mechanic. I love the moon eyes as I eventually want to start a tiki-themed moonbird bar called Crescent Bar. My wife loves the adorable eyes with merch hat. we did some trading to get our forever birds.

✍️ Notes: "Chi was able to capture musicians in candid, unexpected moments, due to his disarming manner and unique perspective."

Who is snoop talking to? What was he up to that day, in his youth, in that modest kitchen? For me, this photo certainly captures an honest, candid, unexpected moment. Snoop is a meme in the NFT community after claiming he is @CozomoMedici, a patron of digital art who likens himself as a modern day Medici. If you believe NFTs are enabling a renaissance of digital art and culture, this comparison holds some water.

✍️ Notes: This BAYC airdrop is all that's left of my OG ape, clean wide-eyed zombie #6088, which I bought from Pranksy in May 2021 and sold in September. I feel good about putting my family first, even though in hindsight i should have held my ape longer. This goofy doggo isn't going anywhere.

✍️ Notes: There was no house when i purchased this piece, only after the sale was the house added to the painting. This landscape was painted by AI, and for the first 10 times it is sold on the secondary market, the AI is given more time to add details. The piece is currently on step 3 of 10. What details will the AI add next?

✍️ Notes: I lost my NFT virginity to this purple dye'd meebit. As my first it, will always hold sentimental value, regardless of where the floor might be. I'm hopeful Yuga Labs have some interesting things in store for Meebits.

✍️ Notes: I have followed Kevin Rose since the TechTV days. His podcasts have provided significant, tangible value in my life. Mindfulness, health and wellness, technology, creativity, investing, productivity, etc... I am grateful for his curiosity and desire to share with the world. On a personal level, I find his style relatable and genuine.

As an unapologetic fanboy, I was convinced the Proof Collective Dutch Auction would sell out at 5eth. Minting from ledger, I didn't want to miss out, so I jumped in at the top, which is not a small amount of money for me. It was depressing to watch the DA go so low minutes later and leave all that money on the table. The feeling lingered for some time, but I never lost conviction. These days, I'm feel pretty good about my entry point, and also proud to have supported the collective at the 5eth mark.

✍️ Notes: Is it wrong to have NSFW thoughts about your zipcy?

This is probably my biggest "L" to date, bought for 1.45eth, rode it all the way up to 5eth, and then held all the way down to 0.15. Ouch...

✍️ Notes: Unnofficial Proof Collective POAP/meme, every proof member needs a duck. I have a couple, but this one is my favorite. We love the Duckz! Bonus, the origin story is heartwarming as well.

✍️ Notes: This mint was the most epic gas war of all time, and I barely snuck through the door right at the end.

✍️ Notes: Gremplin is hard at work. Looking forward to the reveal!

✍️ Notes: Some powerful women behind this project.

✍️ Notes: My wife picked these out, official PFP of the BFF ecosystem.

✍️ Notes: The red carnival mask is relatively rare, we'll see if this team can deliver long term.

✍️ Notes: The Woodies outdoor inspired community pairs perfectly with PNW lifestyle. You can never have too many, we have one for everyone in our family. This fire crown is the rarest from our woodies collection.

✍️ Notes: Howdy, pardner! Created by proof member Lantin Mills, the lads artwork is stored 100% on chain. I have a couple, but this pipe smoking cowboy is stuck in the vault. Larva Lads are a play on the CryptoPunks and their creators, Larva Labs

✍️ Notes: Emotes is up-and-coming artist heartyou's first profile picture project and their first work secured on ethereum.

"Heart You is a project of self understanding, love and acceptance of the whole self, including our shadow self. “Emotes find their owners” Heart You says about these NFTs - encouraging the owners to explore the embedded messages and symbolism of the work. Heart You work challenges self-understanding, promotes the acceptance of self and the removal of guilt + shame. BrOKen. But always love."
