Very first piece I scooped was an edition of The Tickle because [@InWarhol](https://twitter.com/InWarhol) are amazing assets to the NFT community on tezos + cool cover art

![THE TICKLE ISSUE #71 ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/794489](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwwIS0SWIAs6ZM-?format=jpg&name=medium)

When I saw the incomparable @tz1d67UPfqEsFSn2MuyAy2bVe8wbRCmwd1Ln had a piece that would fit the budget it was a no-brainer

!["Formun" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/281557](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwwKtqHWIBYlZUy?format=jpg&name=medium)

Not being as confident a collector on fxhash I headed there early on in my collecting to see what I could get while I still had plenty of budget remaining

This was fun because I mostly collected what jumped out at me irrespective of who I knew, and followers

First piece on fxhash that jumped out at me was the "Circle Study" project that was still minting out from @tz1Qxc19rPrXMaRHMKCqndP9ASaDkqhc3R67

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1EfsNuqwLAWDd3o4pvfUx1CAh5GMdTrRvr" path="token_metadata::40883"}

Loved the juxtaposition of light & dark with soft pastel squares and the "pattern with meaning" in @tz1i9tsuekNFp8VsAu6xEyet16yb7t9b4PZP's "Day by Day"

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::999711"}

I thought this edition from @tz1iChpqVTi68JTcbpmmVnD9yfXxe2UxTkZL's "Reflections" project paired well with the dark backgrounded edition I had just collected

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1530179"}

I simply can't resist a good forest green piece so this edition of "citylines" from @tz1Rz6mLGLBVH1UoMYwmQbrCBqXL9SXARfomoffering me some #NFTNYC nostalgia had to go in the collection

::tezos-storage-pointer[]{contract="KT1U6EHmNxJTkvaWJ4ThczG4FSDaHC21ssvi" path="token_metadata::1435313"}

Returning to the familiar at this point I pivoted back to objkt and started browsing the mints & items collected by those who'd collected my recent 1 tez OE&#x20;

@tz2UYLKTisJDAqAXTCn2u3EzMDHYMBr9JVb5 had a photography manipulation with built in objkt nostalgia so this #objkt4objkt mint was an instascoop

!["JPEG_OBJKT" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/282995](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FwwR3UEWIBoRpLE?format=jpg&name=medium)

Doing the collecting on my new AI account I was overdue to add some AI work to the collection.

I love the whimsy of "Sunday in Paris" from [@Elegit2021](https://twitter.com/Elegit2021)

!["Sunday in Paris" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/KT1J64VerxiiwDVoavxi9JFk1GsCq69VgRHR/11](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmcZBTqZ72DexnpyYCudS9BtwVxGkbFVX2jwqyh7LLsqkK)

One of the beautiful things about the tezos NFT scene is the willingness to simply share art in events like #OBJKT4OBJKT back in the day

Means there's still goodies around from amazing artists like @tz1TtZmtxhiWc8Nv6AtC1YjVCtJoFjv4nTqL&#x20;

!["Emotional Demons" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/282669](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeieafgidihtshresgpbqmhmu5f7hulzgziiod62jbckdnt6uo7bgve)

A silver lining of this price challenge has been to clean up some heinously low relisted pieces and none more true than this awesome owl collected from [@Ambi\_eth](https://twitter.com/Ambi_eth) with [@ExilesProject22](https://twitter.com/ExilesProject22)

Honestly, it's so good I'm going to scoop another right now

!["Night Eyes" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/KT1H3CBxYyfCC1GPzDQhKY6T35KHakXy7FnM/8](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmRaLWMYspRW5aESdZCHbrfwFNFFQqz6qMqNnbofDKYLW5)

Admittedly I did pick up a few pieces that I already owned on my main account simply because they're just too good to still be available for so low!

That was true for "Post & Beam" from @tz1SJEeZviPzRSzHtZtPJwndZNk61PvdFfJD

I don't know if it's possible to already have nostalgia for early AI pieces but this one from '21 fits the bill

!["Post & Beam" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/283782](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeigednu2lxg2ycdo4dtgnaepjxyibmjw2d4n6ysaabge6ljhxdztli)

I've followed [@Glitched\_David](https://twitter.com/Glitched_David) for a long time now and there's just something about their work that feels timeless.

Had to get at least 1 glitch in the collection!

!["No Input Glitch 01" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/versum_items/3764](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPxWEia63UG6uKbcq6vK8NPitYxz1tpJqSFq6RLFWURNq)

Another artist & piece I picked up more from was the very talented [@dg\_submissions](https://twitter.com/dg_submissions)

Their Entities collection is a fun fractionalization of an AI piece into 8 parts that was another #OBJKT4OBJKT offering

!["The Entities : 08" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/293806](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeibzeuzprw27mchx2ahruqczue3eshrfjjpwclzi3b6piohsoj6hbq)

This next one's particularly interesting as a sort of precursor to all the stable diffusion work you see these days.

Something about [@ganscaper](https://twitter.com/ganscaper)'s use of the natural world transports me, not to mention the soundscapes

::video["Fortress" ~]{src="ipfs://QmTvLJeVS4yLy2zdN8FH7mqoqdFdZXJXa7QwQwJ8NQ9yfp"}

What would any good curation be without some pixel art?

One of my favorite in this department are the delightful creations of [@spacefishNFT](https://twitter.com/spacefishNFT) and obviously cats

!["Gift Cat" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/600126](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmerTQDr32GacSqRr2V76vcD6JNBqg472Yiq3ZRjwZGpyQ)

From the fun to the funny, @tz2CMCvNGZdgwjK1bZkVjFFpW7FrxnuUuyFhtook a running gag of [@328\_lad](https://twitter.com/328_lad)'s propensity for the 🥦 emoji and made a giftably priced AI piece.

Real friends make sure friends get enough fiber

::video["Bbrooccolii" ~]{src="ipfs://QmVJgKfgNNNrfUScL1BKy6hjk825FVSiZSopNs1v1NZJvj"}

Speaking of fiber, when you think fiber arts in NFTs you had better think of [@jenjustjen3](https://twitter.com/jenjustjen3)

The hugamonster is destined to be an enduring icon in the web3 space

!["Big big Hugamonster hugs" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/603464](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmX4W6XPY7MMoDzVFMfPVttZmRspnwZW5hW6TxwEUZEfNs)

As for people who should be icons in the space, I'd include @malsheep56 on that list

For all they do for the Teia Community and for an amazing range of photographic abilities

!["Infrastructure" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/500030](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmRGEwcyVRy6eCfDTog9673hL1Yz8z9h3mawZR8iG8PC1s)

The next piece I picked up was this gratitude piece from [@paraxenod](https://twitter.com/paraxenod) who made these birds after hitting 5k followers.

Gratitude pieces are wonderful ways to your collectors and are another small way that #tezos makes it possible

!["Appreciation" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/versum_items/33200](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeia6oh3md4qawjbh3ytsmret4p6axty3kwaerxynpkpv5hgh7z4mby)

Time to get meta for a moment with an article minted on objkt from the hilarious & insightful [@aaronvick](https://twitter.com/aaronvick)

Made super accessible, this is a fun read in NFT form on this AI thing everyone seems to be into these days 🙄😆

!["The Future of Work and Society in the Age of AI" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/KT1R1JTr6vRyd8tfmnZfyvkNJkQ179EWaLzB/2](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdiZzkPQTUUCEkiQrLk8XTM2SH4t6tcNNzibrU9n4zucT)

From one AI/market commentary piece to another, this work from [@shane\_gilreath](https://twitter.com/shane_gilreath) feels like it's going to be relevant for some time.

Check out "NFTs on Twitter" to see visualized what we're all thinking

!["NFTs on Twitter" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/KT1StFHbJzC2Cg5cqjAUYVjPHTVYYrsetXft/34](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmaTHVgBGQYGKQLxTgpuL8Nb3Zp77JqDdVybHJNe8kxbAq)

From an abstract on the market to abstract photography, the next piece I scooped was this one from long time connection @tz1iwuHRM4E28Wfw6mPHPraZKEeeuYvURerd

AP has always struck me as someone willing to try new things with their photography including drops on fxhash

!["Abstract-Babylon#6" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/versum_items/2507](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmP3CFEFP65urcgkscojTb4P2Kon8cbJQkRWw7awuWT1pB)

&#x20;Everything's better on #tezos and meme coins are no different.  With the emergence of [@TezosPepe](https://twitter.com/TezosPepe) and the uses behind it I knew I had to get a Pepe piece in the collection

Fortunately @DannyG1979 had this pixel guy for a steal

!["PEPE 2 - Punk AF" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/hicetnunc/821354](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTYrgcNCaA1UibP9N1JcqfuvcxbsT92AdoTHeyLoJ4Muj)

I've never seen anything like posting an entire twitter space on-chain but leave it to @tz1YbJAyfmSwqLbLwCrUTfEMeLgCncM9jj3z to make a statement! (mp3 attached in listing)

Everyone I know was so dismayed about the Sotheby's glitch fiasco so owning this piece feels like a piece of protest history

!["All-Male Glitch Art Show" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/KT1VwBoE3zk36D32VN1i7dvFL7VxuQuwUvWZ/93 (click thru for mp3)](ipfs://QmQfRaU91JDjFDiJkXiTWo5byr9GDLh9XWFJ2qL5M2yCs9)

Another statement piece from a pillar of the #tezos community comes from @tz1Mn66CLYJUmsrYSy23EFtdWBkHgqCooCzi

With commentary on the royalties crisis over on ETH this was an easy scoop for the #5tezcollection&#x20;

!["F*** OPENSEA - Support Artists" ~ https://objkt.com/asset/KT1KmiaeqwF4TNm3gDR9ZqSNaenkf5dTP892/28](ipfs://QmUz17iAjzyiMexHtVbBzeLiEdadM2LrYQrzqoviGRB8bh)

To avoid losing readers at this point, I'll refer back to my [Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/PapaBeardedNFTs/status/1660711046535847953?s=20) which will include every piece collected for the competition.

For receipts, artists name and clickable links to each piece check out my simple [Google sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19pcHhMfDXJX0Zc_wf7gftZSrl0qZNeOIPFFrJnYZBns/edit?usp=sharing) I used to track spending.

Keep supporting one another, experimenting and working to keep Tezos the best NFT ecosystem going <3 PapaBearded


Managed to collect 52 pieces with the 5 tez budget attempting to feature a diversity of mediums and styles
