<strong>Issue</strong> <strong>102</strong><br />

<strong>Issue</strong> 100 is still available from https://www.hel.io/pay/6414f59004805be4067bdf03 - a milestone issue that<br />

will never be listed on the Yumpu page.<br />

Fantastic to see #DAMzine still pumping away on the monthly NFT theme drops. #DAMReality is now live- a<br />

preview of some #Reality nfts are in this issue to wet your apetite! Lowbrow and SaintMary have teamed up<br />

with a new project "Reimagining of Saint Mary" calling on the women of Solana to submit a piece of art by<br />

April 10. This one is surely going to be one to look out for. (see advert on page 7 of this issue)<br />

NGL, this week was HARD putting this issue together. Formfunction's closure meant that finding #Editions<br />

and 1 of 1's came mostly from ExchangeArt. The problem was that for most artists out there, they still hadn't<br />

transitioned. This last week of March 2023 had slim pickings across the board. It was only at the end of the<br />

week that new pieces starting popping up on Exchange and I had to spend hours sifting through the pieces.<br />

Quite a few animated pieces out there and, even though #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine can place them in the mag, the extra work<br />

entailed is not viable (copy the animation, transpose it to mp4, host it on Vimeo, insert into magazine).<br />

What does it take to put #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine together? Passion really and a sense of helping the community gain<br />

exposure when the majority of the "noise" out there is focussed on major pfp projects. Pixeltoy spends around<br />

24hours/wk putting each magazine together, promoting via Twitter, hosting on Yumpu. Yes, there are costs<br />

involved. Yes, there's no return- other than the daily tweets from #Solana artists thanking #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine for the<br />

exposure and new eyes on their work.<br />

How can this be improved? Retweeting. Pure and simple. The more #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine is retweeted, the greater the<br />

reach. More eyes.<br />

Your support via retweets helps #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine reach a broader audience. Every retweet is greatly appreciated. It<br />

has helped this magazine achieve 668,303views across 101 issues (previous week = 662,946 ).<br />

#<strong>SHILL</strong>zine still has pieces listed for auction. Every purchase helps make this magazine worthwhile. Listed on<br />

both FF and Exchg. UNDER THE PRICE OF A COFFEE! Proceeds go to helping this magazine grow and become<br />

better. All the World's a Stage is live now https://exchange.art/pixeltoy/ and now on @0xBanana MARKET .<br />

SHOUTOUT of the YEAR goes to the creative genius of @RedRabbitCult who minted a limited edition full length<br />

NFT song including 50+ #Solana tweeps who have helped shape the space. RedRabbitCult #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine (Pixeltoy)<br />

is honoured to be included in this piece (damn stright I nabbed it!). "Pixeltoy couldn't do it without ya"<br />
