1/1 $bonsai piece in progress! So far it's looking pretty gud and should be ready to mint in just another day or so π³πβ¨
- GN!
I luv you all ππβ¨
- GM frens π
I've been werking hard to make sure my art keeps evolving! βοΈπ¨β¨
Lately I've been using moar vivid colors, dynamic shading, higher frame-counts, and subtle shadows to create a better sense of space. I'm hoping the style I've created gives the art a feeling like it's both 2d and 3d at the same time!
- GM frens π
I've only ever minted one 1/1 piece before and don't normally do them - But if frens here would like me to create a very special mint, I might be up for it! ππβ¨

#lens is a paradise, I luv it here ππβ¨
- I think It would be fun to share moar of my artistic process here and make the posts very cheap $bonsai collects π³πβ¨
It could be similar to collecting sketches and early artifacts of the artwork as it's being created π
- GN!
New animation piece is starting to come together π
My werk is all frame-by-frame animations, which means each frame of movement is created one-by-one to form a finished piece! Sometimes it takes dozens of drawings βοΈβ¨

Thank you @lens/nilesh! π

Big thanks to all the frens who have already collected an edition of **'BLU B!RD'** π
- Proud papa of a FLOCK of these disturbing Blu Birds from one of my best frens and favorite artists in the space.
Regardless of his #Lens handle, I know that @lens/notgonnamakeit is definitely GMI!
Great work on the contract migration to Zora. I was able to smoothly and easily source eth from Arbitrum to mint these on Base. I love the future we are buidling!

- GM frens! π I'm re-minting my editions contract on BASE using ZORA instead of Manifold
Sorry for the inconvenience! If you already purchased an edition of 'ZITZ' you will be airdropped a new edition shortly! β¨
If you can, please send your current edition back to
0x8CbF96319b3C56d50a7C82EFb6d3c46bD6f889Ba
You will also be airdropped a free gift to make up for it π
@miracleyr @lens/mycaleum
- GM! π
Which is best for artists and collectors?
β’ I think the ZORA platform has an amazing UI and the cross-chain minting option is important
β’ But also MANIFOLD is great when it comes to cross-platform listings and contract control
- Should I have created my editions collection on BASE using ZORA so frens can mint cross-chain? π
I used manifold, but It's still early and I could re-mint and airdrop new NFTS to anyone who already minted. I don't want bridging to stop anyone from collecting! πβ¨
- Are you **KAWAII** or **YOKAI**? π³π―π΅β¨
Did you know these two bonsai art pieces were inspired by the Japanese concept of Tsukumogami?
In Japanese folklore ***Tsukumogami*** are objects that come to life and acquire a spirit on their 100th birthday. Traditionally they are household objects, but in this case I decided to include plants!
KAWAII is now sold out! But YOKAI is still available for 4 moar days πΉπ€
#bonsai #lens
- Thanks again to all the frens who shared, liked, and collected KAWAII BONSAI!
