Upcoming Drops: September 12-18
Let’s face it: The NFT space moves really fast. Considering how quickly things can change in the metaverse, a week in NFTs might as well be a month IRL.
Don’t get us wrong — the more people onboarded into the space, the merrier. But because of the constant influx of great art and ideas, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with all the news, launches, and general happenings.
Well, you can put the days of endless Twitter and Discord scrolling behind you, as we put together a weekly list of upcoming NFT drops you definitely don’t want to miss. Here’s what to look out for this week.
Lushtemples NYC #1
Who: zancan
What: A one-of-one NFT, four multi-edition pieces
When: September 12 @ 1:00 p.m. ET
Where: objkt
Why: With the use of a Javascript-programmed ink plotter and some hand-drawn flourishes, zancan was able to seamlessly capture the continually changing relationship between civilization and nature. As part of the ongoing Lushtemples series, zancan was able to partner up with The Armory Show NYC to conduct an IRL auction of Lushtemples NYC #1. Aside from this one-of-one NFT, collectors can also opt to pick up one of four multi-edition pieces unveiled along with Lushtemples NYC #1’s IRL print.
WET: CHAPTER 1
Who: Lindsey Byrnes
What: Five 20-edition pieces
When: September 12 @ 3 p.m. ET
Where: Coinbase
Why: Best known for her work as a lifestyle and entertainment photographer, Byrnes hopes to give fans of her work a rare look at who she is behind the lens. WET is an upcoming collection directly inspired by Byrnes’ childhood and family background. What is a mermaid if not a metaphor?
Innovation of Influence

What: 50 one-of-one photo NFTs
When: September 13, time TBA

Miller licensing exclusive photos of one of Hollywood’s biggest-ever stars, NFT collectors now have the opportunity to own vital pieces of pop culture history. The collection will include photos featuring 19-year-old Norma Jeane, all the way to photos of Monroe in the prime of her career.
Further Together

All Player Zero Founders Pass holders are slated to receive exclusive access to all future Player Zero events, NFT drops, music, and much more.
Metaversical II
What: A collection of physical and digital pieces
When: September 17 @ 6:30 p.m. ET
Where: MakersPlace
Why: For anyone who took an interest in Villarán’s initial idea of pairing pieces of digital art with physical reinterpretations, the Spanish artist is set to release Metaversical II later this week. Following the auction of pieces from this collection, collectors will have the option to exchange their digital NFT acquisitions for the physical counterparts of each piece. Through this, Villarán openly calls on collectors to examine for themselves which interpretation of each piece holds more value for them.
