Winds of Yawanawa and DATALAND remain firmly entrenched at the top. A standout signal this month is beef brothko breaking into the top 3. After steadily appearing throughout 2025, @toadswiback looks like a durable mainstay. AlignDRAW holds its ground despite a softer floor, reinforcing its role as one of the most consistently traded AI Art collections of the last two years. Further down the list, the familiar pillars remain: Bastard GAN Punks, DEEPBLACK, podGANs, Roope Rainisto and Claire Silver once again prove their staying power, appearing reliably even during quieter market phases. Realiti’s return underscores ongoing collector interest in historically important early GAN works.

RWA (real world art) is amazing - here with French painter Paul Huet (1803-1869), deemed one of the most prominent Romantic painter in the country. His last paintings near in the 1860s border with #Impressionism (last pic here with the river). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_H…

A ghost in the machine, or a reflection of us? DeepBlack is an early milestone in generative history. By feeding thousands of classical masterpieces into a neural network, the AI artist learned the patterns, textures, and structures of our art history to autonomously generate entirely new, original compositions. Familiar works, yet created entirely from a landscape of data. DeepBlack #6431 🔒 Artist: @DeepBlackAI Collection: DeepBlack 1/1/3073 2019/2020

"Hmm, nice piece for our Twitter post... who's owning it... damn, @yahtzeefish again... a man of good taste... anyway..." #5513

Sometimes it's all about the contrast: -> #7579 owned by @0xJokerFrog. The array of bright (almost fluo) colors, the almost pointillist touches here and there... -> #5798 looks like she just bathed in the bottom of a Lovecraftesque lake of nightmares... but still displayable!

NFT market did something strange in May: Trading activity hit a 2-year high (~235K weekly trades); Prices barely moved. 📈What rose? The art-historical names: @cryptopunks, @autoglyphs ( 55%!), @beeple, @SamSpratt . 📉What fell? The hype-driven PFP field. "Activity is loud. Canonisation is quiet." - JM Pailhon (CIO @grailcap) Read more: open.substack.com/pub/grailc…

Summer starting soon in the Northern hemisphere, and here with DeepBlack #66 💛💚💙

BRING BACK NFTS

Some portraits are really interesting, not just for the face (picture perfect here?), but also the backdrop (Renaissance like grotto), and the "thick" lines of the coat 🖤. Very chic!

Always nice to see whales scooping more @DeepBlackAI … opensea user ‘Adamgold’ with these 2 db snipes.. He now owns 66 total. Congrats to them 🫡

So good... Brings back a LOT of memories from the Early AI Art days!!

Amen to this - very good long read on our art, digital art, crypto art, AI art space 🖤

Do you prefer to fly: - In a Boeing 777? - In DeepBlack #7777? Signed: a member of DB Airways 😎

#5743 changed hands recently - truly beautiful colors 🩶🧡💚

What do we see with #5827?

Since NFTs popping off, reminder there are other historical NFTs which aren't PFPs necessarily. My personal favorite is @DeepBlackAI Also a wonderful story. Everytime I review the collection I believe I'm walking through a beautiful art gallery on psychedelics, always disovering something new in the art. Love them

Some of us are. Pieces like these are proof of early AI experimentation — artifacts from the moment the future was still being questioned. 🖤 @DeepBlackAI
