Good Boy, Shiba!🐶

Issue #59 was published on Sunday, October 31, 2021, week 43 of the year. What a spooky ending to the month! This haunting cover was summoned by Dudly and Amal.

The month of October came to an end with many degens becoming millionaires and some even billionaires overnight. $SHIB had risen from the dead, breaking its ATH. The Doge-killer came back to make a remarkable mark on crypto, sending the community into a frenzy. NFTs had more good news with Adobe integrating NFTs into Behance with NFT-friendly settings and content credentials to prove authenticity in Photoshop. Moreover, 

Facebook announced it is rebranding itself as “Meta” and begged that uncles and aunts please stay away from it.
$SHIB coming back from the dead had only one way to go: the zombie route, and we enthusiastically took it. Peeling skin, protruding canines, unfathomable anger and colored in bloody red; we knew what it took to bring $SHIB back to life. The idea was to frame-by-frame animate the dog barking. This didn’t seem like a good idea when the deadline looked as scary as the dog.

 We worked our way around it to burn the drooling zombie dog down to bits and then have a jump-scare that would slide into another scene of going down the throat where we conveniently shoved a zombie Zuck; Tungsten DAO cube, a newly formed community-driven initiative to collect the most iconic and meme-able assets; Flashloan “Flash,” for the Punk gimmick sales and a Fidenza pattern to mark the IRL minting Tyler Hobbs initiated.

Several parts of the artwork are frame-by-frame animated but the final punch or bite, in this case, comes after it was interpolated, mixed with some eerie radiance, colors, and sounds that give you goosebumps.

The lesson to be learned here is to never look down on anything. Especially if there’s an army waiting to bring it back to life.
The ArtDrop for issue #59 was “Solitude in the Infinite” by the artist Mari Takahashi, who creates CG for TV commercials, websites, and Japanese movies.
