About The Larry the Bird Collection

Larry the Bird is a collection made as a tribute to Twitter’s savage personality. Larry is a famous bird that is unapologetically honest and himself. The collection is therefore a visual presentation of Larry’s life. Every NFT is another scene of Larry’s important and famous life and are therefore always “videos”. Larry is also an advocate for eco-friendly and sustainable earth in which the planet is not destroyed by the existence of human life. Larry might wear different hats and different accessories in every NFT, but Larry will always be blue and he will always wear a hat. He often appears in the newspaper and is also often followed by the paparazzi. Larry often receives fan mail. But, of course, he does not always appreciate all the attention. But, that is not because he does not want to be in the spotlight all the time. Larry just wants to have more control over the pictures made of him. He wants the most handsome version of himself to be posted at ALL TIMES. Yes, this is the only thing that bothers Larry.

Larry is blue, made with the same color code as the original Twitter bird. The creator of the collection, Kimora Gold, got inspired to make the Larry T. Bird collection after Twitter tweeted “ You don’t need an edit button, you need to forgive yourself”. To see Twitter’s tweet click here. When Twitter launched its 140 Collection, Kimora Gold saw it as an opportunity to launch the collection. The above-mentioned tweet inspired the first three editions of the Larry T. Bird collection. The interesting part of the article starts now… lucky you.

First Edition: 1.0 Larry — You do not need an edit button

This NFT’s relation to the tweet is far more obvious than an Alinea of words can describe. But, I will discuss the things you cannot see in the above-added picture. First and final, the picture is a momentum of the last part of the NFT. The NFT starts with a visual of a Newspaper, launched by the news company “What’s Happening?!”. What’s Happening?! interviewed Larry to document that there is indeed no edit button coming. Check out the NFT by clicking here.

Second Edition: 2.0 Larry — On the Redcarpet

As we all know, Larry is famous. And after the release of that statement, Larry has consistently caught the eye of the paparazzi. Some people are “pro-Larry” and others are “why-Larry”. The paparazzi cares about both of these groups of people which is why Larry T. Bird was bombarded with cameras while he was on his way to speech. Larry’s hat was also found fashionable and he, therefore, received even more attention. The flashes from the paparazzi in the NFT can be checked out here.

Third Edition: 3.0 Larry — Larry in the Bathtub

“No matter where I am, no matter what I do. You won’t get an edit button.” — Larry

See the NFT on Rarible. Click here.

Larry just wants us all to know that it does not matter how often we see him, it does not matter where we see him, it does not matter what he does when we see him, we just won’t get an edit button. And we will always see him since he’s famous. So, here Larry is in his bathtub living the good, lavish & famous life while trolling on us. And, making sure that we know that he doesn’t care. Check out the full scene of the NFT here.

What’s Next?

Larry's life will continue to be shared. Every month 3 new editions of Larry will be launched on Rarible.

The next dates are :

4.0 Larry — Larry’s Global Warming Speech; Sept. 9, 2021.

5.0 Larry — Larry’s Acceptance of the “Best Personality” Award; Sept. 17, 2021.
