Recently, I wrote about how BasePaint had become a standout app on Base. Now how about a lil' painting adventure to see what it's like for yourself?
There's a fun opportunity to do just that next week, August 27th, when BasePaint will kick off a 24-hour collaborative pixel art painting session to illustrate a "Bankless Buck" currency for the Bankless community.
Painting begins at ~9:30am PT / 12:30 PM ET on Tuesday, so if you'd like to help bring the artwork to life, consider minting a BasePaint trial brush over the weekend to get ready.
If watching along is more your style, you'll be able to see the artwork form in real-time on the BasePaint homepage. Then on Wednesday, August 27th, the completed canvas will become a 24-hour open-edition NFT mint that you can collect to commemorate the occasion.
I'll be popping in to help paint and talking in the BasePaint site's chatroom, so see you there if you dive in too!
