Timeless Icon to Live in Web3 Space
The famed actress, model and social activist Merilyn Monroe will live on-chain thanks to Zeblocks, the digital artist duo with two smash-hit NFT collections already out. While the NFT floor price of 0.33 Ethereum (ETH) seems high to some NFT enthusiasts on Crypto Twitter, it’s nothing compared to the NFT floor price of previous Zeblocks collections.
To illustrate, the generative NFT art collection of Unigrids hovers around the margin of 10 Ethereum (ETH), while the iconic meme Sgt. Pepe has an NFT price floor of above six Ethereum (ETH). Generative art projects enable the user to participate in the creative process through an algorithm designed to mint unique art NFTs according to the customer’s preferences.
Two amazing collections by @Ze_blocks,Unigrids at a 10 ETH floor, and Sgt. Pepe with a 6+ ETH floor.
We thank all Zeblocks collectors for the strong support, and Zeblocks for working on this iconic @MarilynMonroe collection! pic.twitter.com/mQ7YRhQu7x

What to Expect From Modern Muse
Firstly, the classic image of legendary actress Marilyn Monroe smiling will be used as the basis for all 3333 NFTs in the Modern Muse collection. The avant-garde style of generative art by Zeblocks is meant to add a hint of contemporary art to Marilyn’s timeless beauty, exceptional talent, and ever-lasting legacy.
Honored by Marilyn Monroe Estate, the digital artists behind Zeblocks “are honored to play a role in preserving and sharing her story with the modern world.” Finally, the pioneers of generative art in Web3 shared a few sneak peeks and wished the NFT fans “an enticing experience.” Still, no further details about the user interface were revealed.
