THE SERAPH by ROCKETGIRL 🚀
This release carried extraordinary weight. What began as her only direct self-portrait, created during a deeply personal and difficult period, became something far larger than a single work. Through its journey across chains and its final inscription on Bitcoin, THE SERAPH transformed into a living archive of memory, resilience, and permanence.
Breaking the original painting into 25 fragments allowed collectors to hold individual, powerful works that still belong to a greater whole. It wasn’t dilution, it was participation. Each fragment stands on its own, while collectively restoring something monumental, both emotionally and on-chain.
This drop was also about care, lineage, and responsibility. THE SERAPH honors loss, preserves context, and embeds its story directly into Bitcoin in a way that feels aligned with the gravity of the work itself. Immutable, traceable, and emotionally intact.
We’re incredibly proud to have hosted such a meaningful release and to see the community respond so deeply. Congratulations again to ROCKETGIRL on a powerful, sold-out moment that will resonate for a long time to come.
Partner of the Week 👨🎨
Meet Intrepid whose journey as an artist spans more than two decades, across continents, mediums, and now blockchains. From slide film and magazine assignments to Bitcoin inscriptions, his work has always been rooted in exploration, authenticity, and permanence.
Intrepid began his photography career more than 25 years ago, shooting foreign assignments on slide film. He later transitioned to digital and Web2 in the early 2000s, registering intrepidphotos.com and adopting the Intrepid pseudonym in 2001. By 2017, he was already blogging on-chain, becoming an early innovator in Web3. He has been published by houses such as National Geographic and Lonely Planet and exhibited in galleries around the world, from Sydney to New York to Milan. Entering the NFT space at the start of 2021, he has since built a network of over 500 on-chain collectors, with more than 150 digitised one of ones and numerous digital editions and curated releases collected to date. For Intrepid, bitcoin ordinals represent something distinct. He sees bitcoin ordinals being on BTC itself as the ultimate in immutable art.
Intrepid is drawn to remote locations and rare natural phenomena. Over the past 25 years, he has wandered through more than fifty countries with a camera in hand. Life in RVs, cabins, and sailing boats has taught him many ways to call somewhere home. His approach is to immerse himself in wild places and attempt to capture the feeling of them in a way that hopefully conveys that emotion through to the viewer.
Mycelioid by Pawel Dudko ✨
The 11th and penultimate Mycelioid release by Gamma Partner Artist Pawel Dudko is now live for collecting.
“Mycelioid PRSM” presents a process that continually adjusts its own state, seen through the lens of an analytical instrument. Something organic is placed within a model, its continuity divided into measurable fragments. The image does not depict growth itself, but the condition that emerges when a living process is subjected to observation.
