And For My Last Trick...

This last one is obviously intended to be tongue-in-cheek, though not entirely. I registered the domain for the purpose of this article to make the point that NFT's have opened up new ideas for Artists to play with (domains cost 1 tez/year). And play we should! I've lost count the number of times trad-artists and anyone else with an opinion has shouted down others for their experimentation. May I politely remind you that the world is your oyster, and you should feel free to have at it!
As to the works above, I opted to go for generative works as they were catching my attention early on when I'd first collected on Tezos. Nick Fox-Gieg's 'GridJoe' is one of the first generative (SVG) works on Tezos, beaten out by Makio135's 'Magician' just days earlier.
I had previously thought NFT People to be the first PFP collection, until I unearthed the 'cat-person' collection whilst compiling NFT's for this challenge. Who knew.
The rest as they say, is history...
