I know it doesn't seem like it, but this photo book is moving along. I have 90% of the high res images that I need for the book and then I will finally start laying this thing out. Just gotta track down a couple more people...

We've received a lot of high res selects from people for the Nothing But Flowers book, but still waiting on more so check your DMs if you submitted photos to the projects and get em in.

Back from vacation, and back to this project. I did shoot some stuff for Nothing But Flowers while I was gone.
If you have a DM from me, please get me your high res photos! Thanks!

Don't forget to check your DMs if you submitted a photo. You might have a message from us!

Today we are finally reaching out to people for high resolution images for the book! We received a ton of submissions and narrowed it down to the images that we think make sense for the rough edit, but these aren't the final selections yet.

We will be DMing a link, and I know people are rightfully weird about clicking links, so doing this post to let you know that the link is to a medium.com post which will then link to a google form. You won't be asked to do anything with your wallet or anything like that. If you have any concerns feel free to reach out.

Lastly, if you want to submit more images, it's not too late. Just drop them in the comments. The more images we have to work with the better. Thanks!

Wanted to give everyone an update on the Nothing But Flowers photo book. I wanted to have started getting high res images from people several weeks ago, but I have just had some real life stuff get in the way. I am currently on a much needed vacation but I will be back in action this week. Thanks for your patience.

Going to start DMing people soon about their photobooks submissions pretty soon. I just gotta write up a whole form letter & submission form so sending me high resolution images is easy for everyone. I had planned on doing it this week but some stuff came up. Hopefully I will get time soon.

Nothing But Flowers transparency update. Last night we sold our airdrop as well as some of the 10k $degen we had saved for tipping. In total we swapped 130k $degen for $763.68 USDC. We also swapped .05 ETH we had raised for $155.37 USDC. After taking 30% for taxes we added $643.34 to our previous funds for a total of $1489.88.

Our goal to do a perfect bound book vs a saddle stitched zine was $1500 so I think that will do it. We will continue to raise money and take submissions as we begin to work on the design of the book. More news on that coming soon!

RIP to the photo legend Thomas Hoepker. Pulled out some of my collection to show you guys. Two signed books and five signed Magnum Square prints.

We have two days to get 8k $degen tips for an even 100k this round. With the price of $degen that still puts us a few hundred dollars away from our goal, but hopefully we can make it up while we're designing the book. Nothing But Flowers submissions are still open!
Ps. Submissions don't necessarily need plants to work.

When I have a project in my head that I give up on it often becomes a photocopied zine. Sold out Unrealized Projects 1-3 are shown here. I still have a few copies of 4-6 left.

Still have 10 days left to collect this incredible photo by @ilovedecay! It's a
"free" mint and your fees go to help fun our physical photo book!

Did you know the special edition of my zine Off The Hook is signed, has a variant cover, is numbered out of 50 and also comes with a signed mini print? https://www.etsy.com/shop/DrivenByBoredom

I met up with the person who will be designing Nothing But Flowers. He was really excited about it because he was the person that introduced me to the song nearly 20 years ago. He's designed the cover/ text for nearly every book/zine I have done. And he also happened to do the font & titles for the Barbie movie.

Still looking for submissions and we will have more progress updates after the next $degen airdrop.

I saw Bikeriders today and I thought it was enjoyable, but doesn't hold a candle (or give enough credit) to Danny Lyon's masterwork. Bikeriders is such an incredible photobook and while I am glad they showed his work at the end, they didn't even mention his characters name until the credits.

Mint this, tip us, send us more photos. Help us get our book made!
Hopefully after the next degen drop we will have enough funds and submissions to start laying out the book. https://zora.co/collect/base:0x29a592f476d45c358f80c50a15c7b5edaaa9da8d/2

If you haven't yet, make sure to check out @ilovedecay's mint for Nothing But Flowers!

People loved the @ilovedecay photo we posted the other day and he gave it to us to do a free mint to raise money for Nothing But Flowers!
The more of these you mint the more it helps and you can give this incredible photo out to friends!

Did you know I sell photo books and zines and prints and other random stuff? I’ll tip 500 $degen who buys something today. Seems like a good incentive to at least check out my shop. Link below 👇
