awesome-cryptopunks-bubble VS punks.design

as a follow-up to Punks F.A.Q. Update - Q: Am I allowed to create and sell my own [crypto] punks? Are punks copyrightable? I tried to update the Awesome Matt & John's® Punks Bubble (Anno 2021) Page / Notes. What's News?

See Punks (and Phunks) V1, V2, V3, V4 Timeline & Version History. Note: Feel free to download (or fork) and cut-n-paste and (re)use any text snippets.

What irony! Pseudonymous crypto millionaire 0xfoobar who was first to popularize formerly known Classic V1 Punks with a (safe) wrapper and market on OpenSea (pulling in a 2.5% commisson on every trade for 0xfoobar) got "rug pulled" - that is - a new crypto bros band lead / headed by the pseudonymous hemba rebranded "the old or V1" wrapper for V1 punks and are now pushing the new "official" and V2 wrapper for V1 punks and with a new zero-fee V1 cryptopunk market (hello, wash trading and self-dealing to push up prices - surprise, surprise - yes, new record V1 sales!).

starting with the write-up / wiki pages by the V1 Punk Founders (@Hemba et al) I put togther a first (quick) draft and all-in-one page of the History of the Punk V1 Saga.

The idea is to encourage you to download the "original" :-) and initally to save disk space (but since the image is a 8-bit color indexed bitmap it's a managable size about ~800k). You can find another copy at awesome-cryptopunks-bubble/i/punks.png. (~800k)

I tried to "rescue" some classic posts here from this reddit and you read and browse a (sort of) best of at the new blog titled Crypto Punk's Not Dead Chronicle.

If it is a small attribute it might be easier / quicker to draw it "by hand" in the online punk pixel drawing tool => https://cryptopunksnotdead.github.io/ and than click on the print button to "export the ascii design" (see the text area below) and than cut-n-paste the design. That's how I do it for now.

Yes, of course - it's a 24x24 canvas / pixel matrix / bitmap - you can draw anything. Try the punk pixel drawing tool online. Ducks why not? See punk rocks with tiara, headbands, cigarates and more for some inspiration.

See https://cryptopunksnotdead.github.io/ the shows pixel art rendered punks in Javascript. The pixelart script is https://github.com/cryptopunksnotdead/cryptopunksnotdead.github.io/blob/master/lib/pixelart.js and the pixel art (ascii / text) designs are in https://github.com/cryptopunksnotdead/cryptopunksnotdead.github.io/blob/master/designs.js, for example.

[¹: Note - I have started publishing all punk archetype designs some time ago but still missing many attributes.]

Over the next weeks / months I try to do an (open source free) reboot / remake in a more CryptoPunks style / edition. I've started with the pixel art that is now available in the original 20x20 format, see /design.punks/8bit.
