The next Milady might be here š
Context
bunnygirl capital, a āCrypto Twitterā inspired studio, is releasing its first PFP collection soon.
Theyāre currently accepting whitelist applications and have stated that all holders of their Bammers collection will get automatic WL (snapshot seems to have been taken).
Price and supply are still TBD.
Our take
Thereās a disturbance in the force on Crypto Twitter.
A rift felt by Terminally Online anons across the galaxy.
I think this tweet does a good job of capturing the moment:
The top reply to this tweet came from the official bunnygirls capital account, which simply commented with ā2 weeksā, a reference to their upcoming PFP mint.
Confused? Hereās a lore recap on how we got here:
Milady Maker is a PFP released in 2021
They gained a cult following with unique schizo-core branding
Then they rose to become the 3rd most expensive 10k PFP
But the illusion shattered after internal fighting and lawsuits
And some people think the fun might be permanently gone
Now bunnygirl capital thinks theyāre up next.
This drop is brought to you by the anon shitposter corner of Crypto Twitter.
Specifically, itās made by HentaiAvenger66, a popular trader/poster with an affinity for anime-influenced (and often nsfw) deep-reference memes targeting the internet obsessed denizens of CT.
In other words, Milady turf.
The similarities run deep. bunnygirl capitalās first collection, Bammers, came from a launchpad with deep ties to the Milady community. And theyāve collabed at IRL events in the past.
You can also see it in their word crafting: bunnygirl cap describes itself as āa full-time social experiment to see how far we can push the boundaries of our collective autism into the real worldā.
Which is, of course, very Milady.
What should you expect?
Social art. Shitposts. Milady-like culture. Maybe a few community derivatives.
Basically just a way to have fun online and onchain with friends.
They have some other promises on their website too, like merch, and even āonboarding celebrities/athletesā (because whatās more brand-friendly than schizo hentai NFTs?).
But tbh if I were a buyer Iād mostly ignore all of that and just go into this expecting some art/culture and not much else.
Bottom line
Thereās now a long history of CT inspired onchain memesā¦with pretty mixed results.
For every Milady Maker, there are collections like Tubby Cats and Wassies that never really got beyond the āinside jokeā stage.
Itās just hard to capture lightning in a bottle, and all the social pull in the world can only get you so far (and sometimes even hurts the brand if people perceive a heavy influencer presence).
We also still donāt know price/supply, so thereās a non-zero chance that they hurt the vibes with an aggressive mint structure.
But, if nothing else, this should be fun to watch.
NOTE: These drops are lightly curated. Our only requirement is that they have recognizable founders. As usual, DYOR. To learn more go here.
Long Live London
Crypto art keeps gaining institutional ground. This time, we have one of the most influential contemporary art galleries in the world, Saatchi Gallery, hosting the Focus Art Fair in London.
The program includes an exhibition of NFT artworks from eight artists (including popular names like OSF), which will mint as part of the Long Live London collection.
This one has symbolic importance and the prices seem reasonable, so Iāveā¦

/// by Snowfro
Snowfro, one of the granddaddies of onchain generative art, will soon release ///, a new 2,000-supply collection serving as the third and penultimate release in Red Bullās Velocity Pass series.
Every pass holder gets a free claim from this racing-themed collection (well-received news, given recent price action), while the remaining 1,000 pieces will sell through a public Dutch Auction and an IRL activation.
Itās a release by one of the most influential people in crypto art, who the market never seems to get enough of, so Iāveā¦

Human Unreadable Act II
One of the most well-received Art Blocks Curated releases of this year, Human Unreadable, will soon have a holder-exclusive follow-up.
Outlined before the collection originally minted (details here), it comprises 400 tokens (one for each piece) that showcase the choreographies used to generate the original outputs.
Each of these is āsoulboundā to its corresponding Act I piece, meaning they canāt be transferred separately, but make for an engaging value-add regardless.
Space Grails
We making it out the atmosphere with this one.
Space company Axiom Space teams up with Transient Labs and Nifty Gateway for the release of Space Grails, an art collection that will literally leave this planet (at some point, and perhaps return, at some point).
It features seven artists, six of which have been pre-selected like Jack Kaido and Amber Vittoria and one that will be picked through a Twitter competition.
Ballās in your court, NASA.
