Hello and welcome to The Culture Project. We are going to cover some great projects that haven’t minted out yet. How do you decide when it’s time to call it quits on a project when it doesn‘t sell out? After an artist releases something and it doesn’t mint out for a while; Do you stop it at the current mints or do you leave it open for new people to discover? That is a really hard choice to make for an Artist, one I would struggle with. I think it’s something I would stress out over, but I admire the Artists that can keep them open and let them run their course.
Whatever an Artist decides to do in the end is completely up to them. As Collectors we should respect their decisions, in the end it’s their art. With this article I hope to bring some new collectors to these wonderful projects that are still available.
Lets dive in.

Hevey is an artist I have covered several times in the past. I’ve collected several of their projects and am a huge fan of their work. I minted two of these myself and we minted one for the community wallet. We recently gave it to a community member.
This project is very unique and a little special to me. It has a lot of components that I enjoy in real life. From being an avid camper & hiker to doing a lot of astral photography in the past. Its animated rotating stars add a mesmerizing touch to the work. I talked about this project in one of the weekly round up articles when it was released. I had already made a video for it to showcase the stars in action. Watch it below to see this beautiful work in motion.
A photo I took years ago while camping. Showing this style used in photography.

This is another project that I minted. One of my favorite Qotonana projects; they have released a lot of good ones in the past. This one felt exceptional and after I read the in-depth article on how it was created, I realized why. You should read the article My Voyage by the artist. The project is 100% done in code. Which is something you can say for a lot of generative art projects, but that really impressed me with this one. All the little details on the boat and how they look on the water. Plus the atmosphere, birds, & cities. It’s very well done.
“It all started at the time of minting Love & Wild and Love & Wild - Reminiscence. I was on vacation in Dalmatia, Croatia, a narrow belt of land on the east shore of the Adriatic Sea. This is where my mother was born, and it was a place where I always felt close. And there I was, all day, looking at those beautiful landscapes, the white sailboats in the bay and the city behind it draped in the warm sun. And at that moment, I knew what my next project would be.”
I think I would be upset if I got one with the ship half missing (I’m joking). It’s a funny mishap that showed up in a very small number of them. Yet it’s still produces a beautiful scene.

I really love the vibrant colors in this project. It has a very graffiti feel to it while the trees resemble an acrylic style painting. The diversity of the tree outputs allow for some interesting pieces. The combination of styles and color palettes really complement each other.
“A riot of colors and shapes that blend urban art with natural elements. The trees and vibrant hues, seem to burst out of the concrete jungle, challenging the viewer's perception of the boundary between the city and nature.
Elements are incorporated into the piece, adding to the overall sense of chaos and energy. Despite the seeming discordance, the composition is unified by the use of color and movement.
"Urban Jungle" captures the raw and untamed spirit of the city, reminding us that even amidst the chaos, there is a kind of beauty to be found.”

Jeff has been no stranger to our articles of late. He has released some wonderful projects recently and this is one that slipped under my radar. Once I saw the diversity of the outputs I knew I had to mint a couple. I’m a huge fan of flow field projects when they are unique like this.
“This is a 100% generative abstract project. I'm experimenting again with sketchy rough drawing and trying to create something that looks like it could have been created by hand. There are seven composition types that produce different styles of output.
This project uses the fx(params) WYSIWYG functionality so the minter will get exactly the output they configure.”
