Do you remember, when Singerie Apes were FOMO, there was a demon project with frames that started selling even better than us?
Now it is rugged for almost a year.

Apes also had hard times, no one was willing to take 1/1 ape for 8 tez, but I KEPT WALKING!

Wheel spin in the video.
Thank you all for taking part!

I will try make another drop next week, if I succeed to finish the animation on the female poker-playing ape in the works.

p.p. Lollerskates, send me 25 Ape$

[Singerie Apes | Vanguard @ApeSingerie]

GM!
Singerie Ape #143 is minted.

1/1 edition with permanent utility.
The option to exchange it for 25 Ape$ (monkey money) will be raffled between all who leave their wallet and own 25 + Ape$.

What are Ape$ and what is the utility of @ApeSingerie project will explain here ⤵️

[Singerie Apes | Vanguard @ApeSingerie]

The APE tokens yield is distributed to owners of 1/1 Unique Singerie Apes!
I had zero sales last months and I am holding back minting new animations, but in the meantime check at @BRUTALISTI
There is an amazing opportunity to get a big chunk of $VEND and $GRND for sending APE!

AIRDROPS🫂I believe in mutual support. All people who have been around me in my crypto journey for the last 3 years have supported me build desire and confidence in being a creative.

💗I did not made money selling nfts, nor became popular artist, but I keep growing and believe many unique artistic explorations and discoveries lay upon my path.
Although I never got a big community around me, the few kind friends, that always reach out to check me out and the fam from the cool DM chats like HAG, La creme, Xcollabs have been enough to Keep Me Walking.

🧧For the last months I have a job and a lot of luck in some gambling like activities, thus I wanna give back to people who know me and care about my way of making art.

🎲As always I am making it a game.
And always, while supporting my fam I will try to support other projects. These would be
@tezvendsmachine and @UNDRGRND_NFT

❓Why, because they seem pretty authentic and centered around art and building supportive communities. They believe in having the abundance mindset is the right way and they love to incentivize people to do better.
Just like me, no?

👉How will support them, of course with some visibility and with buying/earning a bunch of $VEND and $GRND and airdropping them to you.

Now to the game!
🎲🎲🎲
Comment with the right answer!

❓❓❓
Which 3 utility nfts from my creations hold airdrop utility?

🎁Rewards

1.Those who answer correctly will get airdrop of $VEND and $GRND worth of several $XTZ

2.Those who answer correctly and own at least one of these 3 nfts will have their airdrop multiplied by 10.

3. Those who answer and send me 10 True vision + 10 APES by @ApeSingerie will get their airdrop multiplied by 10 and will also receive a FREE edition of my last generative project in collaborations with @RafaelSpiff "Layers of Noise".

Don't forget to leave your wallet so I can drop you the tokens!
That is all my fam!
Hope you play and make art with me!

I will distribute the $apes before this happen as the may or may not have utility for bruta's airdrop.

[₿ruta | Yordan Hristov @BRUTALISTI]

I will be doing some #airdrops. I will be posting why, what and how in about several hours. They will be based on my utility nfts. It could be some art and some popular on tezos coins ;)

I know I have several months of $APES to distrubute and I will do it, but in the meantime check this

___________________________________________________

The best sales tactic cryptocurrency utilized was the idea of community: rally around a cause, create a frenzy, connect with others, and generate wealth.

In a purely utopian manner, this idea is fantastic. It’s what pushes grassroots movements to the brink of societal change (e.g. Occupy Wall Street, GameStop).

Here in web3, that’s how it starts, until the price bottoms out.

A variety of things can go wrong that disrupt the momentum. The most glaring being drifting away from the fundamentals you based the movement around or an unsustainable excitement around a shallow ideal.

So, rather than perpetuate the problem with another token and create a beehive of chaos with randomized airdrops of absurd amounts which leave many out and add to the immense communal FOMO, I want to do something different.

There is almost no way to keep this token out of the hands of the same cryptocurrency influencers that create 100x pump and dumps. They will find their way here. Some are in my DMs now, still asking if I need help promoting my project.

It’s tempting.

It could alleviate a lot of stress and give me some security that this would become a success. It could make me incredibly wealthy and accelerate a lot of my plans.

The only way I can keep that temptation at bay is to give this token away to the deserving.

Give it to those who support the things I want to see succeed in this space: the small unknown artists, bands playing tiny venues, and independent filmmakers with limited budgets.

So when the whales do come, we all benefit.

There will be three tiers of distribution: Engagement, Personal and Community.

Tier 1: Incentivized Engagement

One of the biggest issues for unknown artists, creators, or projects is getting the proper attention they desperately need. We are at the behest of an indifferent, fickle algorithm that rewards the loudest over the deserving.

To bring cohesion to the community, reward those helping to amplify the unseen, and elevate the conversation, $GRND will be distributed to those who engage with UNDRGRND content.

Some examples:

• Like, ReTweet = 1,000 - 5,000 $GRND

• E-mail Sign Up = 2,500 $GRND

• Thoughtful Comments = 10,000 $GRND

Providing information, interacting with content, and progressing the conversation are actions that help build an engaged and active community. It helps create a positive feedback loop for those responsible for nurturing that environment.

This will also remove the barrier of entry for those who cannot afford to purchase the token at whatever the possible future market dictates. Some may contribute with money but some of us contribute with our time, words, and effort.

Amounts for actions will vary and thus be provided as a reminder in each instance (e.g. Twitter giveaways, minting on the UNDRGRND marketplace). As UNDRGRND grows, these incentivized engagements to reward active community members will remain throughout the development of the project.

This will sustain an engaged community beyond the average hype cycle.
______________________________________________________

Tier 2: Personal Referral

A lot of us know each other.

Some of us don’t.

We’re still figuring out what our role or the perception of us in this space. So we lurk and hesitate to introduce ourselves.

But, we all recognize genuine individuals with sincere motives. At the very least we like to believe in the good in others and allow them to prove us wrong later.

It’s why so many of us get burned, scammed, or feel hurt when the greed of web3 rears its ugly face in people we thought we knew.

To rebuild and recapture that idealistic hope I’ll be distributing tokens to those who I have grown to know over the past three years. Individuals I know who share the same values and ideas concerning community.

These will be colleagues, and acquaintances, but mostly friends.

However, I’ll request that they give their allotment away to their friends and people they trust. In return, they will receive 2x the amount they give away.

Here’s how this works:

• @NFTjoe will give @QuittersArts 37,500 $GRND.

• Quitters will give 5 friends 7,500 $GRND. (37,500 / 5 = 7,500)

• Quitters will then receive 75,000 $GRND. (2 x 37,500 = 75,000)

• Quitters can then give 15 friends 5,000 $GRND. (75,000 x 15 = 5,000)

• Quitters will then receive 150,000 $GRND. (2 x 75,000 = 150,000)

• 150,000 $GRND is the maximum one can receive from this method.

Instructions for this process will be provided for those who participate. Anyone who receives $GRND in this manner will have the same opportunity as the person they received it from. There will also be a Google Form to fill out with other opportunities to earn more $GRND.

This process will expand and take some time but I hope it will add a personal touch and reduce the competitive nature of launches like this.

I also hope it incentivizes others to get to know each other better so that more can participate. When I have met some of my web3 friends in person, I greet them with a hug. There’s a bond that I cannot describe to others outside of web3. I want the people around me to succeed with everything I build. Finding success alone would feel like failure and I know the friends I’ve made in web3 feel the same.

This is one way we can make that possible.
______________________________________________________

Tier 3: The Global Community

Despite my best attempts to be emotionally evolved I still have plenty of downfalls.

One of those downfalls is my jealousy of others who succeed in their project. It’s brief but that old-world way of thinking is so engrained into our emotional response.

I try to run towards things that make me uncomfortable. Supporting others as they grow and succeed while attempting to keep hope alive that my time will come makes me very uncomfortable; the fear, uncertainty, and doubt are tangible.

I’m sure everyone who is reading this has felt the same at one point.

There is enough room for all of our successes, though.

I enjoy sharing. I enjoy helping. I enjoy being open with my ideas and collaborating. Working with other communities and getting to know them while we each create our different visions for web3 has been the most rewarding experience. So $GRND will be given to community leaders for distribution.

Some of these communities (formal and informal) will include:

• @hereandnow_exp

• @XCOLLABZ

• @NewtroArts

• De La Crémes

• @NFTindonesia_

These communities and their members will help distribute $GRND to others in the same fashion as Tier 2 above but the initial amount will depend on the size of the community.

This also includes projects like @tezvendsmachine, @tezospole, and others. These are just the communities and projects I know personally and have spoken with already. There are plenty more I intend to distribute $GRND, and I haven’t even mentioned PFP communities…yet.

We all serve different but necessary purposes in this space.

We are not competitors, we just have different visions.
______________________________________________________

So this is the plan for the coming week and beyond.

There will be issues despite my obsessing over the infinite possible points of friction. If you have questions or concerns I’m happy to answer them in Discord.

Once this begins I will then turn my focus on sharing the utility for $GRND and the UNDRGRND DAO NFT Launch.

Then, this Friday, January 26, UNDRGND Twitter and Discord will be locked so everyone here will have the opportunity to participate in building the future of UNDRGRND.

I am glad to finally share my work from “An Ode to Maria”. This is the 1st nft exhibition from @OfficialCallas and me being part of it is a great honor!

My piece is called "Hands"
It is an experimental attempt at encapsulating the captivating life journey of the legendary soprano in a dynamic micro-movie GIF format.
Hands are both a shield and sanctuary in the turmoil of a lost childhood.
Hands are triumph and elegance, while gracefully navigating the peaks and valleys of life with a heartfelt dedication.
Hands talk and hug in the moments of solitude, giving us a self-embrace that speaks of resilience and self-assurance.

This is a silent .gif, yet Maria Callas' vocal signature from her performance of Medea is algorithmically visualized and used for creating rhythm and background textures weaving her artistic essence into the visual narrative, creating a piece that's not just a portrait, but a resonant echo of her life's symphony.

Gratitude to @KDeAngelis16 and @TransientLabs for making this possible!

p.p. Expect more story to the piece and even more surprises in the following months.

Have you been thinking about
💭 More control over grain gradient shadowing
💭 Dynamic grain/noise
💭 Even more easy complex/aurora, dynamic gradients

All super easy in Figma!

Today marks 5 weeks at my new job as UX/UI Designer @studiokipo. (follow us for cool designs, art and probably a future nft game)

I like my team at Kipo and enjoy the work, while also having my weekends and nights to work on my art calmly and without the constant urge to push sales.

I made some artworks, that I love and you will see them soon. Now we are not in a hurry.

I also plan to slowly onboard Kipo into NFTs and probably they will help me elevate my gamified projects into real games.

I see this as a win win win win, for me, for Kipo, for the future of my art, for my collectors and for my product designer interests.

If you struggle with sales in NFTs - I strongly suggest getting a job and being good at it. It will help you create art with better quality and probably reduce a bit the quantity.

[Studio Kipo | Design @studiokipo]

We are proud to have you onboard @BRUTALISTI. Exited to see what we can bring together for a better digital experience in web2 and probably in web3.
