On July 16, 2023 - I did some doodling on a plane.
By the time I landed, I had 300 twitter notifications.
This marked the start of hundreds of hours spent opepenifying profile pictures from all corners of the NFT community.
This Op(ep)en Edition is the first release on my journey creating opepen-inspired artwork.
And celebrates the first EIGHTY Pepenpals that I've made so far.
Here's the WHY:
1. Supporting the Collection: By claiming this edition, you are helping me with the gas cost to mint the full collection (up to 300 pieces) onto my own contract, and provide transfers or listings to the original pfp owners. Your support also covers gas costs for some fun community projects, like the "Opepuzzles" with Scott Kominers and REDACTED project (details soon).
2. Your Ticket to Future Requests: This piece isn't just art – it's your passport to request a Pepenpal in the days ahead. As I get through the current waitlist, I will be opening up spots until we reach the maximum collection size of 300 pieces. You will need to hold one of these in your wallet to claim.
3. Project Conclusion - The Burn: At the project's end, there's an opportunity for those truly committed. Burn 3 of "The First 80" to receive the final piece, a compilation of all 300 Pepenpal images.
Your support so far has been invaluable. Thank you for the past month of fun on the timeline.
With love to my little peppenheads,
julzy
