Memo 0x8ad1d0a9…c75766 on Ethereum

In early August I purchased 104 Cryptopunks, despite primarily viewing myself as an investor rather than collector. While the pixelated PFP style may not be as showroom worthy as other NFT art, Cryptopunks represent a generational shift in art-medium, moving from physical to digital, and were a true innovation both pre-dating and inspiring the ERC-721 token standard. This gallery, created in collaboration with the wonderful team at JPG, aims to display (sometimes humorously) the nuanced attributes and artistic elements of my Cryptopunk collection. The collection was acquired by sweeping the punk ‘floor’, a term that often refers to the undifferentiated hodge-podge of the least desirable items in an NFT collection. Despite this conception, this gallery highlights connections and narratives through deliberate curation, that reveal the vast spectrum of ‘floor’ traits across gender, color, and attributes. Given the recent interest in NFTs and cryptopunks specifically, many would-be collectors are priced out of ever getting the chance to own a piece of what I believe will be the best performing NFT project in history. To help change this, this collection has been fractionalized. If you’re interested in buying a fraction of my collection, feel free to check out my vault on Fractional here (https://fractional.art/vaults/0xb35ed5c39f371f2cd4bc2edab1f8da314168186a).
