A continuation of his “100 Items” NFT projects, Robert Gallardo calls back to his 2014 “Food” art show with the “100 Grocery Items” NFT drop.
From bacon to bagels, Rob hits all of the five food groups on this project. My favorite thing about all of Rob’s releases are he drops stuff that everyone can pretty much afford. Yes, there are bigger ticket projects, like the “User Interface” collection from earlier this year, but his last like 4 collections all offer tokens ranging at or under $100. We always see high profile projects like “Bored Apes” and so on but Rob be on his “Blue Collar Minter” shit.
I’ve got my eye on a few of the tokens featured in this collection. PB&J is a go to for me and being a Grape guy, especially for Smucker’s “Concord Grape Jelly”, I will more than likely be picking up that one piece.
I was just thinking the other day how dank “Jiffy” muffins used to be when I was a jit. From the blueberry to the corn they are all fire. Back in the day my pops would whip up a batch of those blueberry flavor, something about the blueberries they put in the muffins just makes them hit different. This piece is at the top of my favorites list.
The fact that this collection harkens back to Rob’s art show “Food” which was his take on various foods from the culture is what makes this collection my favorite he has done this far in his “100 Items” series. Just based on that the “Goya” and the “Beef Ramen” pieces are on my wishlist.
It’s really special to see Rob go back into the archive to mint some of his older work into NFTs for his supporters to enjoy and show off. It would be crazy to see the “10 Commandments” collection get its own drop, as well as the highly influential “Purple Children” cover arts, his collab projects with DJ Slim K make their way onto the Opensea marketplace. $GREY is the future!
