🚨 #Bitcoin hits a new all-time high, eclipsing the $69,000 mark set in November 2021 🚨

Missed buying at $20k?
Thought selling at $69k in 2021 was peak?

What's your move now: selling, holding or buying?

Think of it as an NFT obstacle course through Ethereum smart contracts.

More recently, I realized that it might be more interesting to cycle through all 496 Phunks, like such:

@d0vetaiI @KnownOrigin_io @SuperRare @ourZORA I was wondering how that worked, since for instance @Regulars_NFT are visible on Foundation but were not initially

@CommonPhunks are a 100% deterministically produced @CryptoPhunks derivative pfp collection, based on the notion of "composite portraiture"

A few (I think) good looking examples, in order ranging from based on many (60) to very few (2) Phunks:

Another early adopter of composite portraiture was Henry Pickering Bowditch, who created these portraits of his fellow Kappa Pi Eta dinner party guests:

"12 Boston physicians and their composite portrait" (1887-1892)

Given my previous threads, I could not resist doing something similar for CryptoPhunks, where the middle row represents the average of shown females (left), males (right) and both sexes (center).

What oh what is the "physiognomic essence" of these Phunks??

[meuleman @meuleman_eth]

Another contemporary of Galton and Lovell was Arthur Batut, who visited various towns and took composite portraits of its population.

In doing so, he aimed to capture regional facial characteristics, or, the "physiognomic essence"...

I will be creating and sharing a lot more such portraits of various groups of CryptoPunks and CryptoPhunks.

So if you enjoy this kind of stuff, make sure to Follow along with me (@meuleman_eth) and the new @CommonPhunks.

CryptoPunks can be regarded the "elite" NFT 10k pfp collection, and with their perfectly aligned facial features, they form a great substrate for composite portraiture!

Composite of Punk Class of 2017:

"Composite Portraiture" is a technique invented in the 1880s by Sir Francis Galton, in which images of many individuals are combined into a single figure.

Galton observed that composite portraits were often more attractive than any individual member...
