Prohibition.art

Heart + Craft, 2023-2024 Algorithmic Edition of 32,574 This project represents so much for me. Thank you to all that have collected, to @JordanLyall for the exceptional collaborative experience, to the folks that have taken the time to make a physical heart, and to @ArtBlocksEngine for making this all possible. Happy to bring closure to the project in this way, and see how it evolves as a collection over time. Cheers y'all!

Heart + Craft minting is officially closed! ❤️🧡💛 The final mint, #32573, fittingly went to @ArtOnBlockchain —a small, Halloween-themed bi-color heart. Grateful to everyone who participated and collected. It's been an incredible journey, and this project will always hold a special place.

I know you're tired of seeing these shutdown posts, but before we close the doors on @ProhibitionArt, I need to take a moment to thank the people who made it happen. Without these key players, Prohibition.art wouldn’t have been what it was. 🧑‍🎨 First, to all the artists who trusted us to release your work on a brand-new platform—on a defi-focused L2, no less—over a year ago, thank you. You were the innovators in a space where L2 minting wasn’t yet common (before even Base launched!). Your belief in Prohibition meant the world. Special shoutout to our Pro11 artists: @emailyedelman @Ed_Balloon @uncut_hems @LorenBednar @rosenlykke @yungwknd @iamfesq @JimenaBuenaVida @Paradoxx_Arts @NineOverZero @sillytuna @producedbydav 🧑‍💻 Next, a massive thank you to my team. Everyone has already moved on to new ventures, but the impact of your work continues to resonate. @im_jonooo, your curation, artist liaison work, and community management made this platform tick. You handled everything we threw your way with skill and passion. @doriancollier, for your product management, data insights, and always jumping in where needed. It’s been a privilege to build alongside you for two decades now. @zelmanski_tom, your design work was exceptional as usual - and truly set us apart from the competition at the time. You made us stand out in ways that mattered. @ThomasLipari, your S-tier dev skills brought it all to life—you made us all look good. @tupper6261 @yourwatchisbrkn and Duong, for your dedication behind the scenes, establishing a high bar for quality and community support. Prohibition’s foundation was rock solid because of you. 💸 A heartfelt thanks to our investors at @venture_punk, the parent company behind Prohibition. Your belief in the idea of bringing accessible generative art to L2 enabled us to take that shot. 🟠 A huge thank you to the team at @arbitrum, especially @offchain, for supporting us in the beginning. 🧱 Big thanks to the team at @ArtBlocksEngine for providing the tech and support that let us focus on delivering a great artist and collector experience. Your tech ensures that all Prohibition collections will continue to thrive, even as the platform goes dark. 🖼️ And finally, to the collector community—thank you. For minting, collecting, supporting, and engaging with Prohibition. I’ve launched several NFT projects and platforms over the last 5 years, but your ongoing support and belief in what we built here has meant more than I can express. To those who continued to show up with their ETH, thank you ✖️ Thank you all for being part of this chapter. Onward to what comes next. 💜

Today marks the final day for Prohibition.art and the last opportunity to mint a Heart + Craft. As part of this closure today, @ArtOnBlockchain and I will each be minting 1,000 pieces for our personal collections. @generativegoods will receive the balance they’ve prepaid for, along with an additional 1,000 pieces to continue their incredible work of bringing generative art into the physical world. Of course, today is the last chance for anyone else to mint a heart before we shut things down at the end of the day. I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for Snowfro and the unforgettable experience of creating Heart + Craft together. What started as a virtual collaboration over a few months turned into something far more special—constructing the physicals together in person, affixing them to the shed at the Marfa house, and sending Heart + Craft #1 into space. Experiencing the mission launch together in person was a surreal and inspiring moment that I'll never forget. To everyone who supported Prohibition.art and Heart + Craft along the way, thank you. While the platform is winding down, the art will live on-chain and in our hearts. Let’s make the most of this last day together. Mint while you can, and here’s to what’s next. 💜

You Are Here is minting today on @ProhibitionArt, the last day before the site shuts down. I'll make a new mint site eventually, to finish out the 213 pieces in the collection, but in the meantime, join @ArtOnBlockchain (owns 10, my claim to fame) and pick one up on Prohibition! prohibition.art/project/you-ar…

Reminder: The final days of Prohibition.art are here. Last chance to mint and collect NFTs, including Heart + Craft, before the platform shuts down on Monday, September 30th. All artwork will continue to live on-chain, but the site will soon close. 💜

Today, I’m announcing the wind-down of @ProhibitionArt and its parent company, Venture Punk Inc. This decision wasn’t easy, but it’s time to close this chapter. Prohibition.art will remain live through the end of the month, with final opportunities for NFT purchases and collection management until September 30th, 2024. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition for artists, collectors, and the community, while preserving the legacy and integrity of the platform’s existing artworks. To all the artists, collectors, and supporters—thank you. Your belief in Prohibition and @venture_punk made this journey possible. I’m deeply grateful for the trust and creativity you've brought to the platform. As we approach the final days, Prohibition.art will remain operational until September 30th. Artists with active projects can choose to cap their editions or allow minting to continue via Arbiscan after the site shuts down. All onchain functionalities will remain intact. Thanks to our integration with @ArtBlocksEngine, rendering services and assets will continue to be supported—ensuring the art remains alive and accessible. Heart & Craft Update: Before the platform shuts down, @ArtOnBlockchain and I will each mint up to 1,000 additional NFTs for our personal collections, and the project will be capped at a final edition size. This ensures Heart & Craft’s legacy while giving the community a final opportunity to engage with the project. Although Prohibition is closing, the art lives on. Everything that exists onchain will continue to function, and I’m proud of what we built together. Thank you to every artist, collector, and supporter who helped shape this platform. Your creativity, trust, and enthusiasm are what made Prohibition special. While this chapter is closing, I remain excited about the future of digital art and NFTs. I’m already working on new ideas and exploring fresh opportunities. If you’re interested in collaborating, exploring new opportunities, or simply chatting about the future, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again, and onward to what’s next. 💜
