Week 12 2022 Review
Issue #80 was released on Sunday 27th March after one of the slowest news weeks we can remember!
Sometimes a slow week can be a good thing. Without a lead story to influence our cover, we had to get creative. Red suggested a postcard from the Metaverse; something to welcome degens, creatives and designers into the wonderful world of Web3.
This was a big challenge to render and might not have come to life at all if Dudley hadn’t stepped in at the last minute. Cityscapes are his speciality and he didn’t disappoint. Issue #80’s immersive time-lapse is the result of 12 hours of drawing, countless 60’s futuristic city illustrations and a final stroke of colouring.
What began as a creative challenge ended with one of our most unique covers yet. Fusing a 1960s-style postcard design with a futuristic Metaverse theme wasn’t easy, but it was certainly fun and the end result was unlike anything we’d done before.
Gazette opened with a countdown of the biggest celebrity NFT fails. Melania Trump, Mark Cuban, John Cena and many more are proof that fame doesn’t always equal success in Web3. We also covered how NFTs were helping the Ukrainian war effort, why a pair of rug pullers could face jail time and included the third part of our guide to Bridgeworld.
The ArtDrop for #80 was all about peace and serenity. “A Silent Day for You” by Fatima Yasrebi evokes a world of luscious greens, deep vegetation and relaxed, Sunday morning vibes.
