The Week NFTs Died... Not
Week 22 2021 Review
Issue #38 was published on Sunday 6th of June 2021, week 22 of the year. The iconic cover was made by Dudly and it’s a fan favorite. This iteration of the Gazette came out during a lull for the NFT space, and critics rushed to declare NFTs dead and canceled. In contrast to traditional media going for the “NFTs are dead” narrative, we chose to display the opposite with a strong message “NFTs ARE NOT DEAD” embedded on our cover. We covered the heated Twitter debate where BAYC was racing to flip Meebits. We showed this with a Meebit and an Ape pointing guns at each other. Eventually, of course, we all know BAYC “won” that battle. Issue #38 would see the Redlion team display other projects that were hot at the time such as: Zed Run The NFT bard Jonathan Mann ZENFT Cryptopunks A Goblin by Gossip Goblin Overall, a strong message was delivered by yet another amazing illustration by Dudly. The ArtDrop for issue #38 was “Silknot” by the artist A. L. Crego, who swings in the midpoint between the stillness of the picture and the continuity of film.
