DAM Issue #24 - #DAMcomics, presented by @transitorymask
Between 5/10 - 5/13, artists created any single comic panel, strip, full page, or multiple pages of their own ideas of a Comic. Work was minted on any chain (SOL, ETH, TEZ) and listed on the a marketplace chosen by the artist.
We're thrilled to collab w/ @culturehacker on a special performance of his award winning "Where There's Smoke." Issue #23 is made directly from moments of the live performance that @culturehacker staged on Sun, April 21st 2024.

DAM is
DAM celebrates decentralized art. DAM encourages artistic freedom. DAM fosters collaboration, connection, and co-creation. DAM experiments with new models of art-making and collecting. DAM is decentralized in its creation, distribution, and discovery. DAM is where artists own their work. DAM is where artists price and sell their work how they want. DAM is blockchain- and platform-agnostic—it's everywhere and anywhere. DAM is assembled by collecting individual pages from the issue's artists.
THIS IS AN AWESOME INITIATIVE, HOW CAN I HELP SUPPORT THE EFFORT?
DAM asks contributors to consider giving a small royalty to DAM's wallet when they mint. Some artists have made DAM a collaborator on pieces while others have tipped directly.
This all helps offset design, curation and logistics. Proceeds also go to collecting art for DAM’s permenat vault. It’s a give what you want or can.
