Not all dogs who wander are lost

When we look into a dog’s eyes and dare to dive into the depths of that crystalline well, we discover that what shines through is, decidedly, love. 

But keep watching, take your time. There is something else vibrating in them. 

Can you picture that look? We all know it. 

It’s an invitation. An invitation to travel with them. 

Dogs are believed to dream in black and white 

But, they don’t. 

This is where these adventures begin. 

Every Journey is a story and every story has a hero 

These Journeys are about A Wandering Dog.

When A Wandering Dog travels (and they certainly do) they create universes and dimensions derived from their timeless dreams where everything is possible. 

Shapes, colors, landscapes, everything comes together to form a fantastic territory.

A short walk is enough. 
Sometimes they come back soon
Sometimes they take their time
Sometimes they even stay at home. 
But they are traveling. 

Their eyes are portals to infinite dimensions where they create, dream and experience all possibilities. 
A Wandering Dog invites us to see some of what they can see. What they can dream with no boundaries.
They invite us to see the vastness within their soul and to travel learning to dream with them.

Whether it is an exploration of new regions or a journey that takes place in a dream, these are encounters that deserve a portrait. Journeys in which the cosmos dialogues so beautifully with those who take the time to look around that it would be a mistake not to leave a record of it.

Postcards, in short, of a universe that is built with each step. Tales of a surreal walk. Unique memories stored in the heart of A Wandering Dog.

Meet your Wanderer

A Wandering Dog is a different NFT collection. It invites us to connect with our inner desire for awe and new experiences. Each Wandering Dog is unique in its very personal and distinctive way, as we all are. We also love the other PFP/in-game/metaverse NFTs, and we do collect them! But we hope to bring a little artistic quest and a sense of contemplative magic to the space.

The collection is the work of Jos (SuperRare). As a digital artist, Jos began showcasing and selling his art in cryptoart platforms one year ago. Through the medium of digital collage he creates inviting, unique worlds which speak to us about the infinite possibilities of our imagination, our place in space and time, our memories and dreams intertwined and revisited. Here is a preview of pieces from A Wandering Dog´s Surreal Journey:

Roadmap

A Wandering Dog is an art-focused collection! 

We invite those who join us to take a break from the utility-seeking/NFT-flipping craze, and dive into Jos´s vision: A Wandering Dog´s Surreal Journey. 

Our Roadmap seeks to reflect this. The focus is in the art:

Anyone who holds A Wandering Dog in their wallet will be able to download a matching HD version to be able to print out at home in nice quality. Forever.

For all Journey mints, we will donate 10{182e54a67efe4bb03484ce9bbc23bcf49e962040e8820430fed9dff08ce7c8a8} of the sales proceeds to dog charities voted by our community in Discord from https://thegivingblock.com/, and the donations will be blockchain-verifiable.

In time, we expect to become a special part of the Solana NFT scene, and move forward with partnerships to benefit our adopters family. We are in this for the long haul.

In the midst of all the noise, we feel a need to go back to basics: we are here for our Wandering Dog, and we are here to stay.

Hope you join us!

WHAT IS A WANDERING DOG?
A Wandering Dog is a different NFT collection. It invites us to connect with our inner desire for awe and new experiences. Each Wandering Dog is unique in its very personal and distinctive way, as we all are.
We hope to bring a little artistic quest and a sense of contemplative magic to the space. The collection is the work of Jos (SuperRare). As a digital artist, Jos began showcasing and selling his art in cryptoart platforms one year ago. Through the medium of digital collage he creates inviting, unique worlds which speak to us about the infinite possibilities of our imagination, our place in space and time, our memories and dreams intertwined and revisited.

TECHNIQUE
Jos’s technique of choice is known as digital collage, used by other artists such as Frank Moth or Miraruido. For A Wandering Dog, the technique used could be described as “Generative Digital Collage”.
Sometimes he has a vision and scouts the web for images which become the raw materials to help him convey this. Sometimes it’s the opposite: an image conjures a concept and he works from there.
He then scouts the web for royalty-free elements and that is where his unique craft begins: he carefully molds them, adapts them, tries them, discards them, layers and combines them until he sees the finished work in front of his eyes. Each image is an instance of a larger image: the result of their combinations. Thus, from each combination of materials something new emerges. This is how Jos constructs his visual narrative.
In this case, Jos has worked his way up from the Dog as the foundation for the collage. He has curated and adapted over a hundred images which are divided into ten categories (traits), and then are randomly combined to result in 1,987 unique “A Wandering Dog” NFT postcards. He has personally, manually reviewed all of the NFT’s and made sure each and everyone of them aligns with his vision for A Wandering Dog.
