Sailing the OpenSea: Dreamers, Punks Comic 2, Gazers & More
Ahoy and GM, weary traveler.
Traversing the vast expanse of the world’s largest NFT marketplace has become a bit daunting, hasn’t it?
Well fret not. I’ve been venturing far and wide with the simple goal of unearthing the most innovative and awe-inspiring NFT projects out there!
In this weekly column, I’ll share all sorts of discoveries with you — big, small, new and old. So all aboard the S.S. WAGMI to marvel at what I’ve found whilst Sailing the OpenSea …
Dreamers
Dreamers is a PFP project from digital artist and NFT community favorite Yugal Odhrani. Featuring 14 handcrafted 1/1 NFTs, Dreamers is undoubtedly one of the most high-quality avatar projects available.
Considering each NFT in the 14-piece collection was auctioned off — selling for no less than 2.6 ETH each — Dreamers was a tough purchase from the get-go. But those who were priced out of the current 50 ETH floor are in luck, as the collection will supposedly be expanded to a total of 44 NFTs down the line.
Punks Comic 2: X Marks the Drop
Pixel Vault‘s wildly popular Punks Comic has returned for issue #2! Similar to the genesis edition, there are 10,000 total NFTs in Pixel Vault’s second comic collection.
Considering the popularity of Punks Comic #1, it was no surprise that the entirety of issue two supply sold out almost immediately. Although only time will tell if #2 will explode in value as was the case with the first issue, the floor has currently reached 0.55 ETH.
Gazers
Gazers by Matt Kane is one of the latest releases on the coveted Art Blocks Curated platform. Totalling 1,000 pieces, there’s a lot more to these animated NFTs than meets the eye.
Gazers may be the first-ever NFT collection to function as a lunar calendar as each NFT algorithmically synchs closely with the Earth’s actual moon phases. As a one-of-a-kind project that is made to evolve over time, these are understandably a hot commodity. As such, the current Gazers floor sits at 3.2 ETH.
mfers
mfers is the first large-scale collection from beloved NFT collector sartoshi. A coveted meme artist by trade, sartoshi’s 10,000 Punk-inspired NFTs reflect the collective humor of the non-fungible community.
Featuring stick figure drawings mirroring sartoshi’s unique and comical adaptations of the “Are Ya Winning, Son?” meme, mfers embodies a wealth of traits honoring CryptoPunks and meme culture. The floor is currently 0.16 ETH.
Make Yourself at Home
Make Yourself at Home is an NFT photo project from photographer and digital creator Brooke DiDonato. The collection features 50 images that were created over the span of 10 years.
With MYAH, DiDonato set out to explore the loss and subsequent redefining of home, with each image deconstructing one of her personal experiences while also depicting her understanding of home as a place of both comfort and turbulence. The current collection floor is 0.395 ETH.
Mood Rollers
As the latest collection from the increasingly popular Random Characters Collective comes Mood Rollers. Created in collaboration with artist Lucas Zanotto, these 5,000 NFTs went on sale today, Dec. 10, and sold out in minutes.
Mood Rollers combines the lure of large-scale avatar projects with the quality of a handcrafted small-batch 3D collectible series. Featuring lovable, toy-inspired mood-changing characters, the collection seems to already be becoming a hot topic in the community, with the floor currently at 0.12 ETH.
Crypto Coven
Crypto Coven is a PFP project from newcomers Nyx, Aletheia, Xuannü, Aradia & Keridwen. The collection recently began minting and features 9,999 witch-themed NFTs.
Although the project has yet to sell out, it’s clear the developers put a lot of thought and effort into the art and lore of Crypto Coven. Entry into the strange and spellbinding world of Crypto Coven currently costs 0.07 ETH to mint or 0.09 ETH via secondary.
