Redlion Gazette
ArtDrops
Each Redlion Gazette comes with an Artdrop: a directly commissioned NFT made exclusively available to the Gazette holders of that week. The aim is to deliver unparalleled artistic work from the best creators in web3.
Artists get their work highlighted + elegantly distributed. Collectors get pieces they’ll value: it’s a win-win. Peek at our vintage ArtDrops and you’ll see many huge names in the NFT space! We love our partners—nothing is better than watching their collections moon!
Are you buying a Gazette from secondary and unsure whether the previous owner has already claimed its ArtDrop token?

Deliverance
The first week of The Inevitable brings us Deliverance by TΞNΞBRINI. The skull theme is certainly on brand for the DeathFam, but it melds with his more recent artwork, like the Burds. Deliverance reminds us that death is always lurking.

@tenebriniSteve Tenebrini aka TΞNΞBRINI thinks about death. A lot. As the artist and driving force behind the DeathWish 365 project, he thought about death and drew a 1/1 skull every single day for 365 days straight. And that was just the first year of the project
