Who wants a skateboard? 🛹 We will be raffling 15 skateboards to SquiggleDAO NFT members this week 🌈 🚀 Everything will take place in our discord, more details in there 👇 discord.gg/squiggledao

This is cool. A year after airdropping a mysterious NFT to Gucci Grail holders (people who dressed their PFPs in digital @gucci thanks to @10KTFshop), Gucci will let holders trade in their NFT for physical Gucci pieces that no one else can buy — for free! voguebusiness.com/technology/guc…

BREAKING: @mfigge just announced at @ChristiesInc that @gucci cloth will be redeemed for co-branded @10KTFshop x Gucci wallet or duffel bag

🚨Squiggle Mint Alert! Note that there will be no links in this tweet. Squiggles are not for sale. All remaining mints are accounted for. Please be aware of scammers and report anyone sharing links to any Squiggle minting opportunities.🚨 GM folks! I’m excited to announce that there will be a TON of Squiggles minted today! 81 of them to be exact! This is a huge batch and gets us so much closer to the last mint 😅. Note they will be minted in two transactions. Both transactions will occur at 6pm CT tonight. The first transaction of mints includes more community members that I’ve identified as being incredibly value add and supportive of artists, collectors, and the ecosystem as a whole. Additionally, I’m rewarding a couple of acts of kindness that have been brought to my attention that really demonstrate the beautiful nature of some of the participants in our digital art universe. I’m also including a handful of folks from my past that are outside of web3 but have been consistently supportive of both Art Blocks and my own personal journey. My executive coach, for example, who has acted as borderline therapist but ultimately a pure force of clarity and motivation over the last couple of years. A couple of Squiggles are going to organizations, one of them charitable, that I want to support with a Squiggle. I’m also honored to support a couple of funds that are instrumental in our industry, and have participated with massive conviction and support for the medium of digital art and specifically generative art. Ten Chromie Squiggles will go to Venus over Manhattan gallery on consignment, with an agreement that they will not be offered for sale for two years. These will be included in their future offerings as they navigate both the web3 and traditional art worlds. Five Chromie Squiggles will go SquiggleDAO in their pursuit of 400 Squiggles in their treasury. The team is not only a wonderfully kind group of like minded individuals, but they have a clear mission and continue to add value to the Chromie Squiggle project as a whole. I’m proudly rocking my SquigSig in my emails, are you? Lastly, I am privileged to have participated in an epic art trade. This one is different from the previous ones as I did not have the opportunity to trade directly with the artist, but I will be exchanging a couple of Squiggles and a cryptopunk for an artwork that is incredibly important to me from an artist that has become not only a friend, but a guiding light for me and many others in our journey. The second transaction is especially meaningful to me. I am minting a Squiggle as a personal gift to each of my coworkers at Art Blocks. The last two years have been both some of the most exciting and some of the most trying times in my life, and Art Blocks would not be what it is today without the support of the wonderful people I get to work with every day. Things have not been easy, and I am learning a lot as I go, and I just want to express my gratitude for the patience and support of my team. It is truly an honor to work with each and every one of you. Thank you. On that note, I had previously mentioned I would be minting 100 Squiggles to my children. I’ve thought long and hard on this and decided that not only does our family already own a significant amount of Squiggles, and the complexities of the legal structure for holding 100 Squiggles securely for nearly 20 years felt daunting, but to me it is more important to gift these to people that are working alongside me on a daily basis. Part of these are going to my team as indicated above, with the other half headed to a second group that has already been determined, to be announced soon. I still plan on minting a good chunk of Squiggles to my family members, including my kiddos! Just feel that sharing these last few mints with more people was more aligned with my original intent with the project. Really really excited for next week’s mint of 10 Squiggles to @FlamingoDAO. They are an early supporter of Squiggles as well as Art Blocks and generative art as a medium. I am a proud member and while I often feel I don’t pull my own weight in participating there, they continue to push forward in with positivity and integrity and I cannot express my gratitude for their presence enough. Thanks Flamingos, especially the active participants. You make web3 a better place. OK! That’s it! Thanks for reading! Let’s see what comes from the minter today :)
