- Trinity buys things
A late breaking highlight for Trinity in December was accepting an offer of 25k tez for her very rare Dragons. Obviously the responsible thing to do with the proceeds was to go on a huge spending spree - let's break it down.
First, the sale -
Next, Trinity's big buys -
Other Loom pieces referenced include the piece that holds Will's interest close to the floor, and another that Trinity likes that is listed quite a bit higher -

- Anonymous reveals
Although this week brought in a number of new anonymous artists, some secret identities were finally revealed. Big thanks to Casey Reas and Giannis Sourdis for clearing at least some of the air!
- Market movements
Even beyond Trinity's buys this was an incredible week for secondary market action across many different projects. In addition to some of the projects above, there massive volume for RGB, WILLARD's projects, perkwerk's werk, and some big commitment to Piter Pasma.
Referenced pieces and projects -
WILLARD dropped a pair of 1/1 projects on SuperRare, generating almost 11.5 ETH in sales. It resulted in a huge boom their work on fxhash.
Perkwerk has been teasing us with a WIP for a very very long time, and it now appears that it will be going over to Art Blocks. Explore variations over at Sansa.
Piter Pasma's very good week was kicked off by Obi purchasing 16 (!) editions GEOMORPHISM.
02. Projects of the week
- NEBELWALD
Holger Lippman came in big NEBELWALD, his fxhash genesis piece. He has a multi-decade long career in generative art and is referenced by many (including Tyler Hobbs) as an absolute inspiration. Learn more on his website.

- NESTED IDENTITIES
Another week another new anonymous artist. The mysterious 'username' took Thursday night by storm with a killer project that plays with subdivision. Alongside rampant speculation of who the artist is(guesses range from Landlines to Tyler Hobbs to Ada ada ada) has been crazy momentum on the market; NESTED IDENTITIES is now over 100% flipped and has an ATH sale of 300tz.

- Sparks of Creativity
Sparks of Creativity was an under-the-radar project that it seemed everyone was holding close to their chest - we were hoping it would be a slow mint but ended up being gassy and fast. Part of that is due to the awesome work, part due to the (anonymous) wallet being funded by Ferdinand Dervieux.
Projects and pieces referenced -
- Circumscript
Woot has had an amazing few months across both his main and playground accounts. Circumscript, which minted out at the top tier of 80tz (plus gas), is further exploration into shaders as applied to colorful circles that organically undulate across the canvas. Absolutely lovely.
Pieces and projects referenced -
- Gentrax EP
Toiminto's prior drop, Fragment Assembler, minted out just in time for a new audio-visual project, Gentrax EP. With stunning graphics and an incredibly modifiable generative sound, it's a sensory smorgasbord that you can truly dive into and spend time with.
