The Ninety Nine

Issue #99 was released on Sunday 7th of August and it marked our first serious foray into AI-generated art.
This cover was created using Midjourney, a powerful tool that generates images from text instructions. We’d been considering using Midjourney for a while and Dudly’s collage suggestion meant that the time had finally come. We input as many article ideas as possible to generate the collage (see how many you can spot!) and the result was breathtaking.
Amongst many others, you’ll find references to Moonbirds and the CCO movement, the Macalinao brothers’ web of fake identities and the Solana & Slope exploit. Spend some time with this cover and you’ll be in a crypto rabbit hole! 
This being Issue #99, we also threaded in imagery from previous issues ending in the number 9. Look closely and you’ll see the astronaut from Issue #9, the scuba diver from #19 and the Bogdanoff brothers from #69. Every number 9 issue is referenced!
Gazette opened with an exploration of the CCO movement and how collections like Moonbirds have been able to transform themselves into fully-fledged brands. We also covered Miami’s intention to launch an NFT collection, the trials and tribulations of São Paulo buying a football player using USDC and how Muse is bringing NFTs to the official music charts.

The ArtDrop for #99 was Celestial Armor 999 by Karalang. Celestial Armour 999 hails from SoulWorld, a universe of Karalang’s creation. It’s powered by “Angle’’ Soul and has an iconic, celestial aesthetic.
