love all the art coming out of this 🫶🏽
thank you, nakamigos community
These awesome meegs pooled their ETH to gift @0xQuit a superhero Nakamigo as a thank you for helping save hundreds of Cloaks and Nakamigos from being drained. A community favorite trait with only a handful listed.
I reached out to @TheavgHomeless about creating a piece to celebrate everyone who contributed. He volunteered to make it free of charge.
The Nakamigos community is full of kind individuals who are still here and never quit.

INTRODUCING FREEDZ
What if the words we write freely are the things that imprison us?
FREEDZ is an 8,888-piece deflationary PFP collection exploring freedom, control, and the machines shaping our world.
A hidden world. A sacrificed word. A question.
Are we really free?
Here's the story:

There is only one Quit.
Normies community decided to appreciate @0xQuit for what he did in the last 24 hours, saving thousands of NFTs and making it without any expectation. This is not the first time he is doing it.
Collectively, we burned 17 Normies to create Quit Legendary canvas in Normies collection.
Shout out to who donated Normies to be burned to create this canvas, here are the legends who made it possible:
@Gathi32, @dopemind10, @FloatingHead119, @BobbyAxeRhoades, @YigitDuman, @SpoliticusMedia, @serc1n
Detail about this canvas: We burned a mohawk trait Normie to create a CryptoPunk, also this is one of the lowest pixel Normie in the collection: 280 Pixels.
This is our gift to you Quit, we love you.

I’m very grateful today to add the first 3D stereoscopic @normiesart canvas created by one of my all time favorite artists @coldie.
This is the first 3D Normie in the collection, created by taking two canvases and merging them into one version of Coldie’s epic character. 84 Normies were burned to create this epic piece !
Check out the full 3D here: coldie.normies.art/
Thank you to @serc1n and this community for all of your support. 🙏

In February we decided to bring something fresh to the table.
Launched 1-bit pixel art pfp collection called Normies.
There were 10,000 Normies in first week, each minted for $9. Then we launched canvas as we planned before launch.
People started to burn Normies to customize their Normies. This is not only burn mechanism, it's collectively curating the collection.
What you see in this grid is customized Normies. It means for each Normie you see in this grid, at least 1 Normie sacrificed.
Total burn count? 2718.
According to today's price it's 570 ETH ($1.5M)
When we first launched Normies, there have been many posts, replies saying "They look weird. They are AI generated. Low key pixel art".
And of course Normies were created incomplete for a reason: to give collectors freedom to imagine, look differently to a pfp. As a result of it, people choose to burn and change pixels of their fully on-chain pfps.
to give a bold example: @AdamWeitsman burned 400+ Normies. As a result of these burns he holds the most iconic collections in NFTs:
Larva Labs
Beeple
A.C.K.
Jack Butcher
All the artists in this list; used same grid size, 40x40, used same 2 colors, used same smart contract to create their artworks.
As long as the Ethereum blockchain is live, Normies will be here.
Fully on-chain programmable canvas on the Ethereum blockchain.
NORMIES.
