FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

<>bArtist Vatican Dolls Launches Two Spooky NFTs on Halloween

The Moderators Undead and the Moderators After Dark NFTs satirize social media discourse as part of release of “Did They See My Crown,” the first NFT metaverse musical

November 1, 2021 – Two limited-edition NFTs, Moderators Undead and Moderators After Dark, have been released in conjunction with the launch of “Did They See My Crown,” the world’s first – and most expensive – NFT, including metaverse, musical, social media, set designs, animations and more. The Moderators Undead, Moderators After Dark and “Did They See My Crown” NFTs are available on the NFT marketplace OpenSea.

The profile pictures of the Moderators Undead and Moderators After Dark NFTs are super-charming heroes as opposed to their square punk and ape competitors, according to their creator, the artist Vatican Dolls.

The Moderators Undead NFTs are a limited-edition of 100 unique portraits of what Vatican Dolls calls “the world’s most powerful, yet anonymous and un-elected people: Social media moderators.” They are specifically designed as profile pictures for social media.

The Moderators After Dark NFTs, also available in a limited-edition of 100, are even spookier, Vatican Dolls said, and added, “In the interest of full transparency that Facebook and
Twitter often talk about, these characters are, in fact, really transparent.”

The musical “Did They See My Crown” was completed by Vatican Dolls in October after working on it for 17 years. Vatican Dolls describes it as a brand-new type of world-class entertainment. Vatican Dolls identifies as a brother-sister duo, which is reflected by his male and female vocals in the musical’s 17 songs.

Vatican Dolls is a classically trained painter, graphic artist and musician, as well as a published author from a major publishing house.

“Did They See My Crown” is the world’s most expensive NFT and always will be. Offers below the current maximum of approximately $70 million will be rejected and resales of the NFT only permitted when the selling price exceeds that of history’s previously most expensive NFT.

The “Did They See My Crown” NFT includes the 17 songs and a 150-page libretto and has an estimated running time of two hours and fifty-two minutes. Unlike most Broadway shows, it is not an adaptation, historic work, parody, anthology, sequel, revue or jukebox musical, but a brand-new original for our times and will appeal to audiences that traditionally don’t watch musicals.

Vatican Dolls called “Did They See My Crown” history’s first true “Gesamtkunstwerk,” a total work of art created by one artist. Vatican Dolls composed, arranged and performed all 17 songs; wrote and sang all lyrics; wrote the story and libretto; created all sets, videos and 2D/3D animations; designed the work’s metaverse and its VR interface; and designed its integrated social media platform UrMask.

UrMask is part of the “Gesamtkunstwerk,” but doubles as a real-life, NFT-friendly social media
platform that offers complete privacy and a new freedom for artists. After a testing period by a previous team, Vatican Dolls took full control of the site on Halloween, October 31, 2021. The platform will be in public beta until its official launch on Halloween 2022.

Unlike most of today’s mass-produced NFT series, UrMask NFT Editions never exceed 100 works, all of which are unique and signed originals like etchings or bronze sculptures. This is a common standard in the art world where editions beyond 200-500 are seen as reproductions that typically lose their value over time.

Each NFT, including Moderators Undead and Moderators After Dark, includes its own signed 3D GoldHandle and social media account. Like the title of a song, novel or painting, each GoldHandle is a deeply integrated part of the composition, meticulously selected by the artist to accentuate a certain quality, meaning or sound of that unique NFT.

The NFTs are safe, certified and verified, as each NFT is built on its own exclusive, trademarked GoldHandle that anyone can check on UrMask.com. Each NFT includes its own unique 3D GoldHandle that can be used in any metaverse and virtual gallery.

In addition, as a strong, extra layer of protection for NFT collectors, Vatican Dolls and UrMask are among the first in the world to sign and verify all their JPEG-based NFTs with Adobe's new Content Credentials that launched on October 26.
