I wanted to make this series accessible. All four 1/1’s from my latest series are now listed for 1.5 SOL each. And the ten piece edition is up for 0.33 SOL each. Interested collectors are encouraged to reach out if they’d like to learn more.

The presale meta has people raising millions of dollars in a matter of hours. Can we raise 6K for a good cause? **PLEASE READ** My friend is currently struggling to find her footing and due to her tuition balance she can’t register for next semester classes and will be forced to put her studies on pause. I have 2 fresh wallet addresses below. Please consider donating whatever you’d be ok with. I’ve kicked off the donations with 1,000 USD. When we hit the goal, I will follow up with proof of paying off her balance in this thread. If you can’t donate, please share this however you feel comfortable.

I released REM a month and a half ago. Since then, Solana has nearly doubled. As a result I have adjusted the mint price from 0.69 to 0.33 SOL. Additionally, I will be permanently ending the mint for REM at a random date. Could be in a week, could be in a month.

It’s just some shapes 🔲🔘〽️

The Reference vs The Art #digitalart #procreate

Question: why should I change my style for mass appeal? 💭 That was the thought process that REM was built on. When I first started to plan what my generative collection would look like, I figured that I would need to do something noise map/ flow field related. When looking at most of the successful gen art collections, most abstract work makes use of noise maps- a technique that allows for a unique fluidity in every generation. Given my connection to fluid shapes in my work prior to gen art, it felt like a good move and maybe an evolution on my style. But my style has always been clean and minimal, no excess details. And the way that I was playing with noise maps just felt cluttered, loud, and not innovative. Additionally, IT’S BEEN DONE BEFORE. DO SOMETHING NEW AND INTERESTING. No matter how much I adore the collection, I didn’t want to be the “next fidenza”- I wanted to do something that hadn’t been seen before. As a result, REM is super minimal and restrained; it’s me. And I love it.

gREM Someone minted this beauty last night

gREM REM #23 + #107 in blue. The entirety of REM is comprised of only 17 colors, ten of which are greyscale, three red, three blue, and one yellow. The blue palette only allows for the blues and a couple greyscale colors. It seems to be a lot of peoples favorite.

❤️🥹🥹 @VWPNY gifted me the doraemon colorway from his REM collection on @NewFrontierArt GO CHECK IT OUT!!!!

REM #132 by @VWPNY The generative code knew I’m blue 💙 Minting on @NewFrontierArt

Been a @VWPNY supporter for a long time. Happy to mint one from his first long form gen art collection on @NewFrontierArt

I just collected a piece in REM on @newfrontierart. Created by @vwpny. newfrontier.art/nft/9rj8KdpRcW…

Collection Discussion (3/4) From @subaruimpreza09 ’s Collection “REM #84” by @VWPNY

gREM REM #44, single component + greyscale

Narrative-driven works truly elevate the generative art scene. We sat down with @VWPNY to talk about his first gen art collection and the first collection on our platform. It has been a pleasure watching Vin create and grow. Excerpt below 👇❤️‍🔥. How/When did you first get into creating art? "My dad, Giovanni Pagnotta, is an architect by trade and a designer in practice- since I was a little kid I’ve always been exposed to great art and design. All throughout my childhood I had minimal interest in it though, outside of sneakers and cars it wasn’t something that was on my mind- I was more into soccer. When covid hit in my junior year of high school, I was unable to go to recruiting camps for college soccer and found myself needing to start considering other options for school. I looked at business schools, academic schools, state schools, and decided to apply to the art school my dad went to for fun. Out of the eight schools I applied to I got into two, one being Parsons School of Design. When I got into Parsons, above all emotions I was feeling I was mainly intimidated and nervous. Most of my new classmates have been practicing and studying art for years and I had only just started. My first semester drawing class is where I actually began to create art, prior to this class I had only ever experimented with photo/video work and sculpture, which is ultimately what I used in my portfolio for my application. In that class every assignment was stressful - figure drawings, still life, portraits, all of it freaked me out and I was miles behind my classmates. At the end of the semester we got an abstract assignment where we had to make a presentation about an abstract artist we liked and then make work that was similar in style. This was November 2021.

At the same time I got that assignment I had started to dip my toes into NFTs. I was learning about all the bull market pfp projects, but one thing stood out to me amidst all these (really ugly) pfp projects: Fidenza by Tyler Hobbs. Fidenza, as well as other ArtBlocks collections that released around then, really turned me on to the idea that NFTs didn’t have to be a pfp collection - they could just be art. So with this newfound discovery I did a presentation on Tyler Hobbs for that collection, and that was the first time I created abstract work. It felt free and fun, which was a massive change from all my previous projects in my drawing class. This exploration in abstract art also made me realize that having lived with my dad gave me an eye for proportion and form, which made abstract feel like an extension of my mind."

REM #137 Lost my mind when I saw this had been minted. @0xBrokenTyrant managed to mint the first 3 component Doraemon. Grail status to me. Will talk more about color palette rarity in the future.

@VWPNY @0xBrokenTyrant @NewFrontierArt just minted this myself #140
