what's The BEASTIES?

The BEASTIES is an AI-generated art series by digital artist #1 crush (@num1crush). It bridges prehistoric cave paintings and contemporary meme culture, featuring direct, symbolic figures that evoke the raw urgency of ancient mark-making, art brut instincts, and archetypal mythologies. These works blend emotional charge with internet aesthetics—repetition, distortion, virality, and remixing—creating memetic hybrids that transcend mere representation. The series is set to debut on Fellowship's Daily Program at daily.xyz, a curated platform minting new digital artworks daily as NFTs. This program charts the evolution of AI art through contributions from emerging and established artists, emphasizing technological innovation in visual storytelling.
