This week's issue set a new record! The cover art is derived from the largest number of articles to date. It's also been 17 weeks since our last collage with Coinartist story, so the time is now!  There is a lot of good stuff happening here so let's get started on our cover #33 tour.

After last week's monothematic Ethereum cover we decided this week to take quite the opposite approach. The collage includes not only references from this week's articles, but also assorted elements from every cover since our last collage issue, #15!

Our first stop is the depiction of boys fighting (for now) on Twitter. Sadly for the crypto community, the fight will probably end with the click of the 'Block' button. As there were speculations about where the fight will take place I included all possibilities mentioned in the vocal warmup: Miami, Cape Town, Dubai?

You would hard-pressed to pinpoint Uranium from another article reference. Yes, those rocks coming from the trash bin are raw uranium ore!  There are some additional trash bins around the piece as we have ROBNΞSS \/IRTUAL for our ArtDrop this week.

Here comes Jean-Michel Basquiat (😍) with his sketch behind him as a most controversial  NFT. In my opinion, destroying physical non-fungible artwork for creating digital non-fungible token is simply barbaric. You'll also notice his famous crown scattered throughout the collage.

Rarible is now accepting filthy FIAT, still, it is surely a great step for the  NFT adoption. Note the tiny RARI logo of the thumbnail holding bills. Binance entering the space is illustrated as a fat blood-thirsty tick with CZ inside.

Beeple is present in the form of his latest 'Everydays', including his piece from the day of our issue drop. I snuck in a cute little swine as well (a bit of a Beeple trademark).

We could carry on forever analyzing this image, so I'll just highlight three final details. Look sharp and you can spot the issue number referenced in Jesus holding an ETH crystal. There's also a memorial to the recently passed "Spanish laughing guy" Juan Joya Borja. Last but not least, for our loyal subscriber and supporter Drew Austin who desired a horse on the cover, I've added a unique anatomy sketch I hope you'll all enjoy :)

Production-wise it was mostly about searching for the right images, removing backgrounds, and combining them into a nice, comprehensive collage. There were 56 moving layers + 25 layers static in the background, all animated in After Effects.

To close, here is a little homework assignment for you. Can you spot all older cover references going back to the previous collage issue #15? (Some of them do have duplicate references)
