COPIED
When you consider just how quickly things move in the metaverse, it’s a wonder that anyone can keep up with all the news and product launches, let alone the constant influx of incredible artwork.
All things considered, it raises an important question: how can you efficiently discover the best upcoming art collections?
For the answer, look no further! I’ve scoured the metaverse to uncover the drops you simply can’t afford to overlook so you can focus on elevating your collection instead of endlessly scrolling through X and Discord.
In this week’s curated Collector’s Digest, I’ll give you a leg up in your search for the premier works debuting on Bitcoin Ordinals, Ethereum, and Solana. Here’s what to look out for this week.

〰️ 💰 Price: 0.00095 BTC
〰️ ℹ️ More Info: Alexis Andre‘s highly anticipated debut on Ordinals – Frontline – combines algorithms that are competing to occupy the canvas; one that will look for the negative space and one that will try to connect the dots. Alexis was originally inspired by the general ethos behind the Onchain Monkey community – nudging people towards doing well and doing good – while accepting that there is no perfect world and that there is no good without bad. OCM Holders on Bitcoin can use their OCM’s DNA to influence the mint’s output. All purchased works will be airdropped to collectors on Monday, July 22.
🟧 AEONS by Aeons
〰️ 📅 Date: Friday, July 19th
〰️ 🚀 Launchpad: Magic Eden
〰️ 🧮 Supply: 3,333
〰️ 🎛️ Phase: VIP Allowlist @ Time TBA
〰️ 🎛️ Phase: FCFS Allowlist @ Time TBA
〰️ 🎛️ Phase: Public @ Time TBA
〰️ 💰 Price: 0.0018 BTC
〰️ ℹ️ More Info: Without question, AEONS is one of the most hotly anticipated drops of the summer. From the art discovery focus driven by the project’s leadership to the thoughtfully handcrafted artwork by @basil_btc, my gut tells me this could become the pseudo-identity of the Bitcoin art collector going forward. Stylistically, AEONS brings an unquestionable neo-expressionist style with gritty undertones that seemingly represent the current subculture of today’s Ordinals art ecosystem. While the mint schedule is yet to be announced, I have it on good authority it will be announced Tuesday at 8 a.m. ET.
🟪 Falling Knife by Darkfarms

🟧 The Astronomer’s Daughter by POSTWOOK
〰️ 📅 Closing Date: N/A
〰️ 🚀 Launchpad: Counterfeit Culture
〰️ 🧮 Supply: 1 of 1 of 100
〰️ 🎛️ Phase: Public [Now Open!]
〰️ 💰 Price: 0.018 BTC
〰️ ℹ️ More Info: Postwook’s forthcoming collection, The Astronomer’s Daughter, is a tribute to her father that interprets satellite data from rare sat block times to create unique timepieces of outer space in her signature style. Using a 15 year retrospective starting from the beginning of Bitcoin, Natasha found the exact rare sats needed to find the dates needed to tell the story of what happened in outer space the day of each handpicked sat. There is no other chain where Natasha could have used rare sat block times and recursion to make this collection come to life – which makes it evident that this collection must live on Bitcoin. To collect, visit theastronomersdaughter.io.
