PAST 👉 PRESENT 👉 FUTURE
Let’s talk about @thebeaksart
THREAD✍️
I am in NFTs since early 2022 & in digital art since January 2023 when I discovered & felt in love with @jackbutcher ´s art
Today I would to talk about The Beaks by @DKashtalyan
PAST ⬇️
Tbh & I said this before the mint release, the distribution of WLS was bad for this kind of art project prioritizing hype & flippers over collectors. Those who will go beyond hype & price, giving the artist time especially when he had more than proven in the past even if it's IRL.
Moreover, this was felt as much in the pointless tweets predicting pre-mint prices as and in the post reveal reactions to the dump or to claim that many NFTs looked alike, a point on which I disagree & even if I did, it wouldn't impact my collecting if the art itself is good (very good in this case), because I don't intend to buy the entire collection. (90% of people will have fewer than 10 NFTs from the collection anyway & even in its original condition,
it was easy to find 10 truly different pieces but anyway, that’s the past & everyone can make mistakes.
PRESENT ⬇️
I will be shorter on this one.
It’s about 11 or 12 days since the launch. Dima (the artist) & his team are here with the community on X/Discord everyday working, listening & delivering when 95% of artists/founder disappear after 1 week.
During these less than 2 weeks he :
- Renamed all the traits to give them a more personal lore.
- Delivered for free 8 new backgrounds that you can add to your beaks.
- An onchain swapper for the community to test & choose or not these new backgrounds
If you've been in the game long enough, you know it's remarkable and where it will lead longterm. Success !
FUTURE ⬇️
Here is a summary in a few words :
- Dima will deliver new backgrounds, new traits… that you will be able to swap or not if u don’t want or want to wait for other ones.
A last word for those who will read until there. Thank you & don’t forget that as it’s written on the website or in the « about » section on @opensea@thebeaksart is a Genesis collection.

2222 Psychological Art PFPs
0.0033 ETH (~$6.34)
A psychological neo-expressionist collection exploring identity, emotion, chaos, and the fragments we hide from the world.
This is not just a PFP collection.
This is psychological art.↓
Since the launch of Phase 1, I've seen a lot of questions about whether there will be new traits.
The answer is yes - absolutely.
Your Beak will be able to evolve into something you like even more, and once transformed, the change will be permanent.
We have plenty of exciting ideas that we'll be bringing to life over time.
Here's a small preview of some of the new traits below.
Good night everyone! 🫡
It’s deeply disappointing to see how most people in this space only care about quick profit, completely blind to the actual value of art.
Art takes time, effort, and a piece of the creator's soul. Yet, people treat it like a casino ticker. As someone passionately fond of drawing, seeing the effort and sweat of talented artists brushed aside for short term speculation is painful.
We've shifted into a hit and run meta where nobody stops to appreciate the masterpiece.
(Negative comments will be forgiven)
I would like to thank all the artists and founders who trust me and give me full GTD Wls allocation for my @ThisIsArtBytes collector group.
As the group is pretty young & the fact that i curate every profile to be sure that i have ppl who see the collecting & trading like me and my current members.
Tbh, I thought it would be more difficult for us to position ourselves alongside the market giants but it seems that stemp by step, the quality of the group members is appreciated, respected & that makes me happy because that's what I've been trying to build since we opened a few months ago. So thank you very much to my guys
