After wrapping up an epic week in #Pranksyland the team has the pedal to the medal with two totally unique WIPs ahead this week. The recent introduction of WIP coin has presented a significant amount of options to reward the community, and the crew has wasted no time sourcing artists and contributors to start the creation process. At this point the WIP is expanding at such a rate that the crew could not be successful without the ongoing support of the amazing community that has sprung up around ...
All sites set on the main event in #Pranksyland 8/25 at 6pm ET.

Rizzle, Matthew and Trislit recap last week's events and look forward to another jam-packed week with the second rendition of the Asia-Pacific WIP, the regularly scheduled WIP, and setting sights on Pranksyland and the Metalympics. The elephant in the room of the Ethereum crowd has been the steadily increasing cost of transactions that have caused a lot of projects to grind to a halt. The team dives into this challenge and explores potential future solutions.
Rizzle, Matthew, and Trislit recap one of the busiest and most successful weeks so far, with the first ever Asia-Pacific WIP, the Rendar Art sponsored WIP, Gorilla Music Launch on top of laying the groundwork for an epic Pranksyland event happening a couple of weeks from now.

Rizzle, Matthew, and Trislit recap last week's WIP along with the staggering amount of projects that the team has taken on over the course of the coming months. The Rendar Art project, Guerilla Radio, #Pranksyland, and the Metalympics are all on the short list of collaborations, on top of a second WIP meetup being held at a time convenient for the Asia-Pacific crowd. Rizzle's ego shows no signs of slowing up, while Trislit humors him and Matthew plays along.
Max discusses his journey through the cryptoart world and life itself. This is a deep dive into the rapid rise, the quick fall, and the re-emergence of one of the most prominent and controversial figures in the Art World. What starts off as a conversation about art ends the reexamination of why we are all doing this in the first place.

Rizzle, Matthew, and Trislit recap the last week's tremendously successful WIP meetup and drop the news about the creation of the Metalympics - a cross-dimensional competition with a series of weekly qualifying events leading up to the main event.

One thing that is for certain is that TokenSmart has hired Voxel Architects - the premier building team of the metave...
Rizzle sits down with John Crain, Charles Crain, and Jon Perkins to discuss the background of their family business SuperRare. The group talks about the moments that it all came together, the lessons learned along the way, and spitball about outlandish scenarios. This is a fun episode that gives listeners a peek into the lives and philosophies of the people behind this revolutionary company. It contains tremendous nuggets of big-picture wisdom, surrounded by one too many mustache jokes....
Rizzle, Trislit and Matthew return from their break to drop the first episode of Season 2. A lot has changed since they started recording these podcasts and the WIP has gone from an exercise in technical support and damage control, to high demand well-polished metaverse events that show no signs of slowing down. This was a great episode for the crew to circle back together and speculate how to best utilize all of the assets moving forward while delivering the best and most fun experience for eve...
Rizzle, Trislit, and Matthew sit down for their weekly recap of another successful WIP experience/experiment featuring our first field trip into Mozilla Hubs. Everyone seemed to be prepared for the worst, but after coming out unscathed and on top we collectively set our sights on a huge upcoming WhaleShark Sponsored WIP.

This week's WIP event will boast another 1st for the WIP Squad in attempting to bring the entire party across the metaverse to the new TokenSmart build in Mozilla Hubs. Rather than striving for perfect events, the trio agrees they would rather continue to push the limitations of the space and assume the associated risks.
Rizzle sits down with EZ to talk about his background and how he became such a prominent figure in #NFTland. EZ is pervasive in this space, whether it is through his community endeavors, artwork, podcasts, or all-around presence at every prominent event humanly possible to attend. This was a fascinating glimpse into the current life of EZ including thoughts on where he wants to take all this momentum.
Rizzle, Matthew, and Trislit recap the pros and cons of last week's incredibly fun and unique WIP experience at the MarbleCards parcel. Not only has the WIP squad expanded significantly over the course of the past few weeks, they have also progressed in many ways including new builds, capabilities, and the first fully sponsored WIP at AlottaMoney's Voxel Hotel. As the WIP events continue to grow cross-platform more people have reached out to participate in their own way, especially now that ther...
Rizzle, Matthew, and Trislit recount the success of InfiNFT launch and the controversy that ensued. As our events continue to grow and we have more people reaching out to us for custom events, we realize that we have some very basic branding issues. We kick around a lot of ideas for paths forward, and a $whale offer is extended to any audience members who are able to contribute their skills or ideas to our projects.

Alt title: Turning Garbage into Gold. Matthew, Trislit and Rizzle rehash the near catastrophe of this week's WIP event leading into N0Shot's shoe launch. What started with CryptoVoxels crashing and our entire setup being inaccessible turned into an amazing pivot by the WIP Squad into one of our most memorable events yet, and helped deliver a massive shoe launch for N0Shot. As our team continues to receive an outpouring of support from the community, we set our sights on adding a wider variety of...
What started off as Rizzle attempting to get these community leaders on the same podcast to provoke a fight for soundbites, quickly turned into one of the most fascinating and relevant conversations to have happened recently in the cryptoart scene and NFTland. Everything is put on the table while we discuss multiple definitions of Trashart, The Journey of Artists, Copyright, Censorship, Decentralization, Jim's rants, What artists do/do not care about, and solving problems that artists have had f...
An attempt to recap this week's WIP event leading into the Virtual Rare Arts Festival led to a much deeper conversation about the need for human contact and feeling connected to other people at our events.

We got the basics down so now we keep pushing ✊
Matthew, Trislit, and Rizzle recap the resounding success of the Ethereal Summit Fire Side Chat and the 'almost kinda sorta' resounding success of this week's WIP meetup.

In this episode @Trislit, @Matthew and @Rizzle recap this week's WIP meetup.

We talk a lot about "Eventness," and shifting the focus from perfectly recreating real-world events to embracing the unique culture that sets our community apart.
@Rizzle and @Matthew talk about the epic community flex that occurred at this week's WIP meeting. Our "scaled back" event still drew a gigantic crowd, but through everyone coming together we were finally able to stick the landing in CryptoVoxels and pull off an almost flawless event. We recap the great presentations given by @n0shot @sinkas and @nissla, as well as the endless possibilities moving forward. Too many thank yous to @dragonate, but also not enough. We wrap up with some behind the sce...
A lot of shoutouts in this episode while @Trislit , @Matthew , and @Rizzle recap the rough start and the solid finish to this week's event.
