The simple pleasures of #895 are only enhanced by the perceived low rarity of the constituent traits. Grey fur is the most common. Squinted yellow eyes the third most common. Thin gold necklaces = middle of the pack. And yet, peerless in terms of overall impact. Peerless! (6/8)
There are other cats with similar aesthetic structures, but none with this same combination of tripartite color matching, or with the gutter cat outline preserved. These are masterpieces in their own way, ofc, but fail to achieve the overall aesthetic harmony of #895. (5/8)
Despite the rarity premium that a 3T commands, the fourth trait here - the necklace - offers a balancing focal point to the eyes/face. The viewer is drawn up and down, allowing the whole cat to be perceived rather than any specific trait (including trait count). Striking. (4/8)
This cat's Whole Vibe comes from the impeccable color matching between the background, eyes and necklace and the lack of any conflicting traits. Nothing is out of place, the balance is sublime. The cat could be improved by neither an addition nor subtraction of any traits. (3/8)
Scholars differ on the most significant component of the overall Gutter Cat aesthetic (another thread), but Gutter enthusiasts will agree that the cat needs to be a "Whole Vibe." Rare traits may command big prices w/o regard to the overall aesthetic, but vibes get the 👀 (2/8)
Someone called this cat (#895) ugly this week, and my gf / apartment guests are still asleep, so it's time for another Gutter Aesthetic Theory exegesis to educate you, lift your minds and pump my bags on this first Caturday of August 2022. Gang gang! @GutterCatGang 🧵(1/8)
The overwhelming majority of NFT owners will never successfully exploit the IP licenses they've been granted. Whether that's due to lack of ability or lack of marketable IP value, most NFT-related images will never be licensed to a third party for economic value. That said🧵(1/6)
