Six years after launching, kick-starting the NFT art movement, and setting the template for countless profile picture (PFP) projects to follow, CryptoPunks is getting its own official book.
CryptoPunks IP owner Yuga Labs announced the project today in partnership with Zak Group, the design studio behind the book “Icons” from Nike and the late designer, Virgil Abloh. The book, due out in the winter, will “detail every Punk, pixel by pixel,” highlighting the artwork of the 10,000 Ethereum avatars and the sizable impact they’ve had since launch.
“CryptoPunks is a collision between art, design, and the internet in the 21st century,” said Zak Group Creative Director, Zak Kyes. “This book is an opportunity to give shape to culture in real-time. Together with Yuga Labs, we have invited artists, technologists, curators—and of course the Punks themselves—to create an all-in-one DIY user manual, archive, and catalogue raisonnè.”
The original creators of the CryptoPunks, Matt Hall and John Watkinson of Larva Labs, will contribute to the book, as well notable digital artists
