Hello friends 👋,
Welcome to the Sunday edition of the hidden gems, where I curate interesting and sometimes overlooked art, products, content, and news related to the blockchain art world.
Join 10,000 blockchain art enthusiasts who receive my newsletter and podcast every week.
Let’s get started…
"SOL" by Cory Haber is a unique collection of 365 generative paintings, each capturing a distinct moment of sunrise. Utilizing 2023 astronomical data, every piece is differentiated by specific location, date, time, and sunrise angle. These details are recorded on each painting and the Blockchain, ensuring no two SOLs are identical.
This collection is inspired by Andy Warhol’s Sunset Series.

Vitalik, Ethereum’s co-founder, looks back at the early days in Bitcoin communities and talks about the dream of using crypto to build a more open, free world. It covers how Ethereum has grown, the issues it faces, new technologies, and the need to mix tech smarts with a strong community vibe to create a free and decentralized future.
Zora is a protocol and marketplace focussed on new media. I have been impressed by the variety of ‘imagination’ minted and their rapid pace of development. Besides crypto art, you can find a great deal of media content, such as podcasts, articles, memberships, and more.
They also pioneered a referral system, where you can receive onchain rewards by sharing the Zorbs (what Zora’s NFTs are called) you love.
Last week, I published an exciting conversation with Alex Estorick, Right Click Save's Editor-in-Chief.
This week, I received a gift… By mail!
AI artist, ClownVamp, sent these AI polaroid prints to his collectors and supporters.
This got me thinking about how artists could follow this example. Definitely a great way to show appreciation and build long-lasting connections.
Until next time,

PD: in case you missed it, last week, I shared a deep dive about Solana, its blockchain art scene, and what is driving its comeback.
I thought I could publish weekly deep dives, but I quickly realized in order to provide high-quality content, I’ll need to publish those bi weekly.
The Podcast and hidden gems will continue to run on a weekly basis ✌️
