Today's Edition is Presented By: Avatizer

Ugly Faces is an innovative generative NFT collection and a part of the Avatizer project. The collection was co-created by Vitaliy Lishko - a Ukrainian artist - and Roman Kropachek, a marketer with 20+ years of experience, the founder of Electronic Team Inc., a US-based software corporation. All Avatizer Mint Pass holders get a guaranteed whitelist spot for Ugly Faces and further art collections that will be mostly free-to-mint.

Ugly Faces NFTs give you a new PFP image every day, created by a smart contract that works autonomously on the Ethereum blockchain. It is possible to pause the live generation at any time and save their unique on-chain PFP art or resume them whenever they want to. Moreover, holders will be able to transform their NFT into a physical piece of art - there will be an option to order an acrylic painting by the collection's designer Vitaliy Lishko depicting the paused token on an 18-inch canvas!
