CryptoMode Posh Pandas NFT OpenSea
 

Many new non-fungible token collections are launching every single month. It can be challenging to see the forest through the trees, making one potentially miss out on promising projects. One such project going by a bit unnoticed is Posh Pandas, as users can still mint tokens over a week after its launch.

The Posh Pandas NFT Collection

Minted on the Ethereum blockchain, Posh Pandas is a collection of 5,000 unique generated NFTs. The launch took place on August 7, 2021, and just under 1,500 have been minted since. There are less than 400 owners, indicating users hold an average of 3.5 Posh Pandas each.

Users will spend 0.04 ETH plus gas fees to mint their Posh Panda, which can be traded on the OpenSea NFT marketplace. The project records just over 9.2 ETH in trade volume to date, with a price floor of 0.02 ETH at the time of writing. 

The team’s main objectives are to create a strong community and focus on charity. More specifically, there will be five 1/1 Posh Pandas put up for auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to a charitable organization chosen by community members. 

Should You Flip Posh Pandas?

Many people get involved in NFTs for the flipping potential. It is undoubtedly possible to mint new NFTs and sell them for a profit on the same day. However, the Posh Pandas team wants to incentivize users to hold their NFTs as long as possible. Doing so will help introduce market demand and keep liquidity low, but there is a second incentive. 

The team has confirmed there is a goal to release a second collection, known as Baby Pandas. These Baby Pandas will be distributed to all Posh Pandas NFT holders. In addition, artwork for this second set will be live-streamed on August 18, 2021, with the artists to give community members an early look at what to expect. The Baby Pandas set has no official drop date yet, but it will likely occur in the coming weeks. 

One important note: holders will receive one free Baby Panda for every two Posh Pandas they hold. 

Last but not least, NFT holders will be eligible for exclusive giveaways. More information on these giveaways will be announced through the official social channels and the project’s Discord server.

Classical Collage
voronoi fun with some well known art
The Harvest
An anthropomorphic figure stands, wide eyed, staring at the viewer; its body masculine, muscular, and humanoid. Its “mind” dissociates into a conglomerate of structures resembling feathers, grain, teeth–as well as a radial flower “node”, casting linear rays throughout the composition. To his left, a vat of bodies gesture and writhe in a kind of amniotic soup, attended by a video game robot. The bot's red display reads “uWu”. Behind the robot and filling the left side of the composition is an archaic figure composed of a variety of vintage objects and symbols. Among them are a hardbound book with ancient cuneiform scripts, indicating barley, beer, bread, ox, house, and sky, behind which is a grimacing, salivating jagged toothed maw; and an old Commodore floppy drive. The figure’s head tilts toward an illuminated crescent moon, suggesting the Egyptian Sacred Bull. The archaic figure is composed of a variety of mutating cells, which shift in color, and pattern; eventually breaking free into an ephemeral broadcast of bubbles which move across the background. The work came into being against a psychological introspection, which included associations to pop culture such as alien abduction and pod people, as well as quite a bit of reflection on grains as a symbol of civilization, agriculture, sustenance, life, and imbibing (mainly whiskies).
Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.
