Upcoming Drops: September 12-18
Let’s face it: the NFT space is moving very quickly. Considering how quickly things can change in the metaverse, a week in NFT might as well be a month IRL.
Don’t get us wrong – the more people on board the space, the better. But with the constant influx of great art and ideas, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with all the news, launches, and general happenings.
Well, you can put the days of endless Twitter and Discord scrolling behind you as we put together a weekly list of upcoming NFT releases you definitely don’t want to miss. Here’s what to look for this week.
WET: CHAPTER 1
WHO: Lindsey Byrnes
What: Five 20 issues
When: 12 September at 3 p.m. ET
Where: Coin base
Why: Best known for her work as a lifestyle and entertainment photographer, Byrnes hopes to give fans of her work a rare look at who she is behind the lens. WET is an upcoming collection directly inspired by Byrne’s childhood and family background. What is a mermaid if not a metaphor?
Innovation of influence
WHO: Richard C. Miller
What: 50 one-of-a-photo NFTs
When: September 13, time TBA
Where: phto.io
Why: During her heyday, Marilyn Monroe – born Norma Jeane Mortenson – was one of the most photographed women in the world. With legendary photographer Richard C. Miller licensing exclusive images of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars ever, NFT collectors now have the opportunity to own important pieces of pop culture history. The collection will include photos of 19-year-old Norma Jeane, right through to photos of Monroe at the peak of her career.
Onward Together
WHO: Heart you
What: An open edition of NFT
When: 13 September at 9 a.m. ET
Where: Nice gateway
Why: Billed as the “journey of individuation”, Heart You’s latest NFT drop is an open edition that gives holders exclusive access to the community. Aside from the promise of friendship via a closed members-only Discord server, Further Together NFT holders will also gain access to Heart You’s latest PFP NFT drop. For those currently traveling to “[become your] whole self, shadow and all,” this NFT and fellowship is just for you.
What: A collection of physical and digital pieces
When: 17 September at 6:30 p.m. ET
Where: MakersPlace
Why: For anyone interested in Villarán’s initial idea of connecting pieces of digital art with physical reinterpretations, the Spanish artist is set to release Metaversical II later this week. Following the auction of pieces from this collection, collectors will have the opportunity to exchange their digital NFT acquisitions for the physical counterparts of each piece. Through this, Villarán openly encourages collectors to examine for themselves which interpretation of each piece has more value to them.
