Punks PostPunks Post Mirror Edition #05 - Are We Back? (We Are SO Back)
GM Punks, well, the numbers are in, we’ve collated the opinions and tallied the tweets. As we sit on the brink of another eagerly anticipated NFT Paris, as Punks convene on the City of Love form all corners of the world and as degens kick-off parties in the dazzling lights across Paname, yes, we can make it official. Distinguished Punks of the metaverse and degens of the highest calibre: We are SO back! Of course, of course, not financial advice! BUT even the most ardent of bears would have t...
Punks PostPunks Post Mirror Edition #04 - (That Was) Our Wet Hot Punk Summer.
GM Punks, well, that was the summer that was, and wasn’t. Those of us who have been around long enough to remember the various summers that have been and gone, from DeFi to JPEG, it seems we will remember 2023, as with 2022, for all the wrong reasons. But hey! We’re Punks, right? We don’t sit idly by while the market crab walks sideways. We’re here to build. So, what sort of a summer can we look back on? What summer can we say we took part in this time around, and what are we going to be refl...
Punks PostPunks Post Mirror Edition #03 - For Those Who Are About to Degen. We Salute You.
GM Punks, never a quiet moment around here, right? Sometimes you get that feeling that you’d like to be back in ‘precedented times’ or you know, maybe not…There we were, mid-April, thinking things were somewhat levelling out, perhaps we were even getting a little respite, were things really starting to look up again? ETH seemed to be on its way back to $2k and NFT market activity was slowing but less, sales and community seemed to be at pretty decent levels! Smiles even, then Shit Coin season...

GM Punks, well, what can we say? It’s been a quick minute. In the blink of an eye, we’ve gone from what was the barrage of late 2022 and into the wonder of 2023, with all the weird and wild opportunities that have exploded from this relentless year so far.
Two months in and it half feels like the collapses, liquidations and rolling panic of 2022 were some sort of fever dream that passed as quick as they came. Well, we’re still here, well on our way to taking a solid chunk out of 2023, and in many regards having a lot of fun with it too.
As Punks, we’ve continued to do what we do in various ways and by the eclectic means that we have across our ever-expanding community. We’ve seen a huge amount of outstanding work and building by a beautiful array of people and we’re here, as the Punks Post, to bring together what we can for your viewing pleasure.
From the incredible story arc we saw play out after long time community champion @CryptoNovo lost his Punks through the most unfortunate series of events, through to the announcement that Punks are coming to the home of contemporary and modern art in Europe, the Centre Pompidou in Paris. It’s been a wild ride so far and we’re just getting started.
Here on the Mirror, we’re looking to take you through an expanded version of the Discord link set, where we look at some of the biggest headlines in the Punk Community from the previous month and hope to add in a few quotes, a little commentary and maybe even an opinion or two.
As part of the ongoing Punks Legacy Project, it was amazing to hear that Yuga has now donated CryptoPunk #110 to the legendary permanent collection of @CentrePompidou. We had a quick moment to catch up with the man himself @CryptoGarga at the Punks Brunch @nft_paris (more on that below!) and here’s what he had to say:
“It was a blast to see a lot of familiar faces at the Punk DAO event in Paris and to meet a ton of European punks for the first time. Kudos to @gwendall and @perhapsrabbits for organizing such a well-done meetup. I know a lot of people traveled from near and far to attend and it didn’t disappoint. We’re super proud about the progress that’s been made on the Punks Legacy Project. Being able to announce the donation of Punk 110 to the Centre Pompidou just prior to NFT Paris was incredibly special, even if we won’t see it officially on display there until later this spring. We can hardly think of a better home for 110 than France’s National Museum of Modern Art and loved collaborating with the museum on this (they picked 110 out of our collection!).”
The Pompidou themselves said they are acquiring a complete set of works that deals with the relationship between blockchain and artistic creation, including its first NFTs that includes Punk #110. They will feature work across 18 projects by 13 French and international artists in the collection.

What can we say? The Punks like to brunch! After the first - from what we know - Punks Brunch back at NFT NYC in the June of 21, there’s always been talk of more, but where and when? Well, as Punks gathered from all corners of the Globe for @NFT_Paris, it seemed like a natural fit to get one going and that’s exactly what happened.
A big thank you must go out to Punks @gwendall, @perhapsrabbits & @arkaydeus for helping make it happen, as well as Yuga for helping co-sponsor the event.
It was a fantastic mix of minds, Punks all bringing various talents and personalities into a single venue to talk about ideas, building, and the future. As @Ezra rightly states in their tweet below:
“The heart of crypto culture was beating there & one could feel the lifeblood fuelling all that surrounded it.”
And to follow up @thepunkdao had another extremely successful brunch just a few days later at ETH Denver, where some of the world’s brightest came together to discuss the future of our beloved blockchain.
Now, they say every good story needs a good arc; introduction, conflict, resolution. It seems simple on paper, but isn’t always so easy to execute in writing. Here, with the story of @CryptoNovo, we have an incredible arc, and a beautiful story to tell.
Intro: CryptoNovo spends years being a beloved member of the Punk community.
Conflict: CryptoNovo falls victim to social engineering and has Punks stolen.
Resolution: The community comes together to help buy them their Punks back!
To be honest, we could write a complete manuscript on this one, but it seemed easiest to just give the incredible highlights of an amazing journey and wonderful example of what this community is capable of. The full statement from Novo themselves really says it all:
In the end, the Punks were recovered and the way everyone came together resulted in an amazing art show that showed off the skill of the NFT community's artists in a unique NovoArt Show with a physical gallery at @nft_Paris!
A real demonstration of just how amazing this space can be, with people coming together and doing it, as Novo rightly said, “FOR THE CULTURE!”
August 2022, the first news of the Punk / Tiffany collab hits CT, the reaction is overwhelmingly positive. Punks love the idea and the potential results for the coming together of two institutions. The initial renders look fantastic and, of course, Punks being punks and Degens being degens, the mint sells out instantly. 250 NFTs with a 30ETH ($51,000 at the time) price tag get swept, and it’s onto production.
Now the pendants are making their way into the world as various Punks from all over head to Tiffany’s collecting their prize pendants, and we have to say, the results are outstanding.
We’d love to show off every single one that we have come across so far, but we’ve taken just a few so you can have a look at what your fellow pendant holders have, or for those of us who missed out, can look on in envy.
Nice shades there Art…
Beard AND 3D shades…
Deepak with the diamond cap…
Ape, Zombie & Tiara trio is impeccable…
Some fantastic results there for everything from a Zombie to a Wild Hair, Small Shades and all those in-between, what could possibly top this?
And of course, the community continues to grow and develop in a million other different and continually impressive ways, we’ve got the full round-up of links to what we could keep up with over the last couple of months OVER ON THE DISCORD…
From guides on how to create AI artwork from one the greatest AI artists of our time to Cozomo donating his Zombie to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and a some awesome sales as well.
Okay, that’s us for this edition, and the first long form Punks Post. As always Punks Post is brought to you by galbraith.eth and is made possible by the support of Yuga Labs’ first CryptoPunks grant.
If you have news, ideas and feedback for us, find us on Twitter and @ricgalbraith, and remember to jump into the Punks Post Discord channel to share your news and features.
While we do our best to make sure everything we share is accurate at the time of publication, this space moves super fast, so be sure to do your own research!
And remember frens, none of this is financial advice.
