Prints Challenge: All that glisters is not gold
This month, we're shaking things up and diving into the world of idioms. We’re inviting Partner artists to create their visual interpretation of the saying "All that glitters is not gold", and we're adding a little extra fun: make your title resonate with the saying!
You have a month to submit your Print for this challenge, giving you until March 15th. The next day, your work will be featured in a Twitter thread and added to this post.
Be sure to add the Prints Challenge and #GlitterPrints tags to your Print, and share your submission on X/Twitter and tag @trygamma and #glitterprints so we don’t miss it!

A guide to launching your collection on Bitcoin
Since Ordinals mainnet launched in January 2022, the world of digital art has witnessed a revolutionary shift with the rise of inscriptions on Bitcoin. These unique digital artifacts have enabled artists to eternalize their work on Bitcoin and engage with a global audience like never before.
If you're considering releasing your own Bitcoin art collection, factors such as collection size, pricing strategies, marketing techniques, community development onTwitter and Discord, and the importance of transparent communication are key. Let’s dig in.
Partner Artist of the Week
Welcome to another Featured Artist of the Week, a series highlighting remarkable artists creating Ordinals through the Gamma Partner Program! Today, we’re featuring Lemonhaze a passionate generative artist creating on Bitcoin.
Lemon's evolution as an Ordinals went started with the release of an anonymous genesis set. He quickly became a highly adept generative artist, utilizing AI as a teacher while tinkering and expressing himself through his art.
Lemon continuously explores the bounds of generative art, focusing on design, texture and aesthetics to create art he finds beautiful. Lemon has also played with the ability to mix his fine art with a pfp, through his Gentleman collection.
In a recent conversation with Lemonhaze, we discussed his inspirations behind naming his work, places he's visited and the impact they've made on him, and more. You can listen to our entire conversation (and a few roosters in the background) in the following interview:
Keep an eye on all Lemonhaze drops with us on Gamma via his profile. As we continue to spotlight the vibrant talent within our community, we invite you to explore and celebrate new creators on Gamma. Retweet our thread below and stay tuned for more!
