French artist Thomas Collet, a.k.a. Chepertom, conjures <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://verse.works/series/deluge-by-chepertom" data-token-index="1" tabindex="0"><code>glitch art tsunamis</code></a> scheduled to hit Verse shores next week.This one’s for abstract purists who like colors, lines and waves smashed through distortion resulting in composed chaos. It’s a style Collet has been honing for a while, and <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://superrare.com/chepertom" data-token-index="3" tabindex="0"><code>collectors</code></a> like it.

It’s a stance I share, and something we’ve been seeing more of this year.Disobedients might not be innovating in a technical sense (no brand new token standard this time), but it’s doing so socially, and it’ll be interesting to see how each chain’s market reacts to NFTs in the same collection.✨&nbsp;Added to Top 25&nbsp;✨<h3>FUN by Parker Day</h3><figure class="image"><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/NZTQP0UBG5MmrkPLVKZqeuF122LoMYT47gbaNjgBiPiDRWYmaqniE4wdd9PB215YE3hW5PYXTViOEG5RsyqEnMhOtK4QCaSXAJ_0-TPrqQinbz3UC98K6al_ujt3DkJ0u0jpEW2uRdM0qr9lo1qHMxk" alt=""></figure><ul><li>Mint Date: TBD</li><li>Supply: 1,000</li><li>Mint Price: TBD</li><li><a href="https://flight.beehiiv.net/v2/clicks/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3R3aXR0ZXIuY29tL2hleXBhcmtlcmRheS9zdGF0dXMvMTc4MTQwODQ5MTA0MDg1ODQzMj91dG1fc291cmNlPW1pbnRvcnNraXAuYmVlaGlpdi5jb20mdXRtX21lZGl1bT1yZWZlcnJhbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249dGhpcy1taW50cy10b2RheS1vbi1ldmVyeS1jaGFpbiIsInBvc3RfaWQiOiJkNDA0YWI4Ni02OWM1LTQ3MmItOGUxYS1hZGE3ODMyNTUxNTgiLCJwdWJsaWNhdGlvbl9pZCI6IjNmYzViZDRmLTNkYmUtNDI2Ny1hMTQxLTM0MmZmMWQwNTUwNiIsInZpc2l0X3Rva2VuIjoiODQ0MTY0ZDktNTA5My00MDQyLTk0YjYtZmFhNzdiNzQyYWFiIiwiaWF0IjoxNzE0NTkzMTIyLCJpc3MiOiJvcmNoaWQifQ.bygu9x38OwD3imIjxUc6KGxKalSSEAnRTsPAnaQ-C8M">Link</a></li></ul>No, the above image is not AI-generated.

explores dreamlike vacations that never existed.&nbsp;Once again he’s leaning into the imperfections of present-day AI, so expect grotesque hands, misshapen faces, and signs full of gibberish.&nbsp;Roope says this will be his main art collection of 2024 and that he’s been “labouring on this for over 6 months now”, so that’s enough for me to get hyped up.<h3>Natives by Nate

about NFTs and what they can do”.&nbsp;Not totally sure what that means yet – but it’ll involve 9 days of social maneuvering, leaderboards, and cutthroat competition from a Who’s Who of popular Web3 influencers and buildooors.&nbsp;In addition to getting access to this thunderdome, each mint also comes with a digital game piece on Ethereum, a physical piece hand-drawn by Nate, and a Bitcoin ordinal matching the final art.<h3>chatFUKR by Harvey Rayner</h3><h4>May TBD – <a

collection chatFUKR.The weird character above represents “a troll that has evolved in the wild of interconnected chat… consuming the discord of Web3 communities. It screams as its consciousness comes online…”I don’t know what an AI-trained-on-Web3 would look like, but screaming as its consciousness comes online sounds about right.

8 NFT drops I’m watching in May 👀

AI art continues to proliferate on Solana with this after-hours <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.javiertomeo.com/creatures-of-the-night">collection</a> from Javier Tomeo.One for the night owls, these animated pieces showcase ethereal scenes of nocturnal animals (and other beings) in an often-blurred impressionist style, giving them a nostalgic feel, as if recalling a hazy memory.In other words, ‘tis a vibe.

Undeniably one of the most popular NFT artists over the past year and a half, Batzdu, recently announced <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://twitter.com/batzdu/status/1745573981527109636" data-token-index="1" tabindex="0"><code>(ch)art</code></a>, his second ever generative art drop, only accessible by burning <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x25b834999ea471429ee211e2d465e85adae0ce14/7" data-token-index="3" tabindex="0"><code>$pepe</code></a>, one his older editions.As the name implies, it’s art about financial charts, chart art.

As some brands exit web3 with their tails tucked between their legs, new ones dip their toes, like Forbes and its upcoming <a class="notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" style="color:inherit;cursor:pointer;text-decoration:inherit;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://twitter.com/ForbesWeb3/status/1769751392707658217" data-token-index="1" tabindex="0"><code>Legacy Pass</code></a>.While details are still limited, it looks like Forbes’s first major step towards creating a web3 community, offering holders access to exclusive experiences and benefits for whatever comes next in their ecosystem.Trading maxis beware though, as the pass is a soulbound token.The website lists a whole host of influencers, founders and other prominent crypto leaders as part of the project’s inner circle, but if past experience with similar projects is any indication, I doubt most of these people will be gm-ing in the discord every day.
