@nikitabier We have a loft downtown that we’ve put on the listening project last week. Are you looking for furnished? Its 2 bed, it’s very big but only one bathroom.

If anyone has a sublease in NYC available for 3-8 months, DM me. I will pay cash and also double your app's downloads. (Need at least 2br/2ba in Tribeca, Soho, Noho, WV, or Greenwich)

Rodrigo Corral Studio has delivered some of the most iconic visuals in publishing, and creates leading conceptual design and art for books, brands, interior spaces and film.

Some process and the original concept sketch for the cover of Read Write Own, by @cdixon 🟧 Thank you to the Rodrigo Corral Studio team: Anna Corral Chris Allen Adriana Tonello Giacomo Girardi Alex Merto And the @a16zcrypto @a16z teams!

Here's how we created the generative NFT artwork for the limited edition Read Write Own bookmark ⬇️ About the NFT: One of our main goals was to make the NFT as web3-native as possible and put everything 100% onchain. Each RWO NFT is generated onchain as an SVG and is a unique variation of the original book cover, designed by @Rodrigo_Corral. The art is dynamic and changes based on the wallet address that owns it. Specifically, converting your wallet address to a number determines the orange square coordinates in the sky, and the last 3 bytes of your wallet address determine the sky color gradient. If you explore the contract code, we added some extra functionality that allows you to override these generation rules slightly and have more control over the sky color gradient. But we will leave that as a fun easter egg to find ;) About the bookmark: Each bookmark comes with an @iyk_app activated NFC chip, through which its owners are able to claim their generative art NFT, watch the book trailer, and more. Just tap the 🟧 on the bookmark with your phone to activate! Overall, the project was a massive collaboration across many teams in the ecosystem: - Onchain SVG Generator from @a16zcrypto - Digi-fizzy link from the physical bookmark to the NFT by @iyk_app - NFT Creator Contracts from @manifoldxyz - Embedded wallet creation by @dynamic_xyz - All deployed on @Optimism How do you get the bookmark and NFT? Order your copy of Read Write Own by @cdixon from readwriteown.com/bookmark and get a complimentary bookmark while supplies last! This project was an incredible team effort and it was an honor to help lead it

@blauyourmind Fun working through this with you and getting to this solution. Infinite colors in a sunrise, just like infinite possibilities for 🟧

The bookmark for the new @cdixon’s book looks and feels just like a regular bookmark. It is quite special though. IYK chipped all of the bookmarks to create multiple additional digital assets for the book including an NFT custom to each wallet. @a16zcrypto [*] @iyk_app
