Before any of this had a name, I was already remixing.
In 2021 and 2022 the tools were crude. What they produced was not a finished work — it was raw material. I took that material and finished it by hand: colour, light, composition, texture, the parts that were wrong and the parts that were almost right. Eight hundred and ninety-six pieces came out of those two years, and not one of them left my desk unfixed.
They were not made as an investment, and they were not made for a timeline. They were made one at a time, by someone learning what a machine could and could not do.
Most of what an artist shows is a catalogue. This is a record: two years of work made before there was a market for it, before the process had a name, and before anyone thought to keep the files somewhere permanent. It is the origin of everything else on this site — and the only part of it that can never be added to.

All nineteen have left for other wallets, so there is no image to show: none of them live here anymore. Also gone: MultiColor Punk, Psychedelia V2 and Adolf Dassler.
Why none of this can be made again
The image models that produced the source material no longer exist in the form I used, and neither do the tools around them. Nothing here can be re-rendered, and nothing can be continued in the same hand. What survives is a fixed moment of an early machine meeting a human one — dated, minted through the OpenSea shared storefront in the ERC-1155 era, and old enough now to be exactly what it is: vintage.
Ninety-nine of the Gallery Punks lost their names when OpenSea moved to a new platform. They show as a long number instead. The artwork was never the part that broke.
Early AI, hand-finished, and out of print in every sense.
How to read this archive
It is the beginning, not the remainder. Everything I release now is a 1/1, on-chain, made one at a time. These 896 pieces came first, when all of it was still an experiment on a desk. They are not what was left over from that period — they are that period.
The material is gone. The models are dead and the workflow cannot be rebuilt. A reprint is impossible, and a re-run would not look like this. That is not nostalgia — it is the difference between a 2021 original and a 2026 copy of the idea.
It can be checked. The whole archive is pinned with a published hash, and every piece carries its own mint date from 2021–2022 on-chain. Nobody has to take my word for the year, or for the file.
Where they live
These pieces predate the on-chain 1/1 work. They exist on my OpenSea storefront, from the years when everything went through a storefront. Everything that came after is 1/1 on-chain, on OpenSea and Manifold.
Permanent record
The complete archive is pinned to IPFS: all 896 pieces at 1200 px, plus a manifest with every token’s contract, series and file hash. It no longer depends on OpenSea, on the old CDN the images were served from, or on any server of mine. The link below is the same file, byte for byte, for as long as the pin is paid for — and the hash lets anyone check that.
