Hustlers by Eka Lestienne 🧡
Eka Lestienne’s HUSTLERS has officially dropped, bringing a sharp, timely statement to Bitcoin-native interactive art. Built around a parent → child structure and inscribed directly on Nakamoto sats, the collection explores conviction, resilience, and forward motion in moments of uncertainty.
This release consists of just 28 pieces, each priced at 0.00038 BTC. True to its name, HUSTLERS is about builders who keep moving while everything else shakes, translating that mindset into a tightly scoped, on-chain experience.

Memory Loss by EP
Memory Loss by EP is a long form collection of generative, conceptual, dynamic art on Bitcoin. 250 ways to remember 25 moments.
Memory Loss is a long-form collection of 250 Bitcoin inscriptions that explores the most intimate paradox of the human experience: our memory is what defines us, yet it is destined to corrupt, distort, and ultimately disappear.
The project begins with an act of extreme vulnerability: twenty-five personal photographs, twenty-five moments that have marked my existence. But instead of preserving them intact, Memory Loss subjects them to a programmed degradation process that will last a hundred years, transforming the Bitcoin blockchain into a permanent theater of dissolution.
Each work is a memory that dies slowly, publicly, immutably.
Partner of the Week 👨🎨
Meet NLV, whose artistic journey began almost as soon as he could hold a pencil. He started illustrating around the age of four, inspired in large part by his grandmother, an oil painter who lived nine hours away in another state. During visits, she taught him how to create with his mind and translate that vision onto paper and canvas. From there, he became obsessed with pop art. Marvel comics, Looney Tunes, Disney, surf logos, Mattel toys, anything he came across, he drew. His parents even worried at times because he mimicked all imagery, including taboo and satanic symbols, which led to serious conversations about what those symbols meant.
Ordinals Spotlight: BURST — ORDINALS YEARBOOK NO. 1 📙
Burst is a media artist and musician who has been minting since 2019 and inscribing since 2023, with a primary focus on Ordinals and Bitcoin. His collection, Ordinals Yearbook No. 1, is a body of 181 single-edition artworks inscribed on Bitcoin that reflects the first 18 months of his journey with the Ordinals protocol. It captures a period full of experiments, mistakes, screenshots, laughter, text prompts, print errors, conversations, overpaints, fragments, and people. For Burst, the Yearbook functions as a time capsule of those early months, highlighting key moments in both his personal evolution and the broader movement. This includes studying the cypherpunks and the cypherpunk manifesto, researching potential Satoshi Nakamoto candidates, and diving into the earliest drafts and inscriptions from Casey and the Ordinals protocol. Through remixing, reimagining, and paying homage, Burst sought to preserve this history in one cohesive collection, honoring what he calls bitcoin, the motherchain.

Silent Recursions 🖤
Born out of last year’s Genuary Forever campaign, which focused on onboarding more artists to Bitcoin, Silent Recursions by Luzotxoa is finally here, with special thanks to Pawel Dudko for his diligence in bringing the release together.
Silent Recursions is a series of 108 generative mandalas, each aligned with one of seven Vedic chakra sound frequencies, ranging from 396 to 963 Hz. The collection explores repetition, rhythm, and resonance through code, translating sound and structure into meditative visual form.
