VeeCon 1 tickets
Gary Vaynerchuk drew the VEE CON letters, I filled them with generated color, and the result became the ticket art for VeeCon 2022.
A Few Notes
What I was doing here
The short version
Gary Vaynerchuk drew the VEE CON letters, I filled them with generated color, and the result became the ticket art for VeeCon 2022.
How It Works
Every ERC-721 got a generated combination of Gary's hand-drawn VEE CON letters and colors from my spectrum. The same object was the artwork and the thing that got you through the door.
What’s underneath
I also painted 30 watercolor postcard one-of-ones, and the tickets later got a burn-to-mint afterlife. So what looks like event access actually had a few different art and object layers tucked into it.
Go look around
The VeeFriends posts below walk through the snapshot, ticket drop, art reveal, and what happened afterward.
Easy to miss
It was not a ticket with decoration pasted on it. We tried to make the ticket itself a generated artwork.
Where it led
This was an early attempt to move the Squiggle's color language into an event, a community identity, and a useful object all at the same time.
Where to find it
The VeeFriends posts and the Etherscan contract are linked below. A few sources disagree about dates, supply, and background counts, so I left those as ranges instead of pretending I know which old post wins.
