NFTs are going Galaktic in Denver, thanks to this gang.
Beneath a multi-colored crystal crown, purple eyes pop out of the non-gender-specific character's sockets. The creature sports a star-and-moon-themed robe underneath a mouth and set of teeth that look like a colorful, futuristic jukebox.

But Morton, who'd worked in glass art, knew the perfect person: Dyer, whom he'd come across through music festivals. Dyer has a large following in the psychedelic art and music scene, and could often be spotted live-painting at festivals or creating murals across the country; he's also designed skateboard graphics. Morton got linked up to Ponz, Dyer's manager, through a friend, and began prodding Ponz to see if Dyer would want to do an NFT collective.

And thousands of people signed up for the chance to be first to purchase the minted NFTs, sight unseen.
“With working in festivals, I’ve known Chris Dyer for a long time,” says Annie Phillips, the founder of, which has an NFT gallery at 2601 Walnut Street.
