Unshelved Elves is a collection of randomly generated NFT artwork that imagines the ubiquitous elves off-the-clock and living their best elf-lives out in the real world.
The images (20K in total) were generated via carefully positioned Photoshop layers randomly combined with a Python script which output the art and the associated metadata for each image.
The web frontend for the project was my first React app development, and I used the project as a learning experience, figuring out URL routing, IPFS (Inter-Planetary File System) deployment, and continuous integration through GitHub and Heroku.
