<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 />
