Eruption 17: “Clouds & Dirt” JAS-Exclusive Scene Swap by Camila Nogueira
Eruption 17 invites all JAS (Just Art Surprise) BOOK GAMES token holders to transform a VeeFriends Series 2 token scene of their choice by entering “Clouds & Dirt.” Visionary artist Camila Nogueira has created this unique scene, and vividly portrays the mindset coined by VeeFriends CEO Gary Vaynerchuk. “Clouds & Dirt” is the ability to focus only on the clouds (understanding the “why”) and the dirt (daily execution of the “how”) while disregarding everything in between to achieve your dreams. Camilla showcases the beauty of embracing both aspects of the journey to success through vibrant surreal visuals and sound design.
Introducing Eruption 17
Eruption 17 is an exciting opportunity exclusively for JAS BOOK GAMES token holders to transform their Series 2 tokens into fresh works of art! Open to all holders of JAS BOOK GAMES tokens, this Eruption will run from Thursday, March 28th at 3 PM ET to Thursday April 4th at 3 PM ET. To participate, holders must burn ANY (1) JAS BOOK GAMES tokens, and in return, they’ll upgrade their Series 2 token with an exclusive scene created by artist Camila Nogueira! This Eruption marks the 3rd and final JAS exclusive Scene Swap.

The Scene: “Clouds & Dirt”
The Scene titled “Clouds & Dirt” delves into the intricate balance that GaryVee often speaks about, between the visionary mindset represented by the clouds and the diligent execution embodied by the dirt. The concept, which currently exists as two existing scenes within Series 2, The Clouds, and The Dirt, revolves around seamlessly transitioning between these two states: from ideation and strategic thinking in the clouds to the gritty determination and hard work required in the dirt. Through vibrant visuals and a joyful tone, the piece showcases the beauty and significance of embracing both aspects of the process. It emphasizes that while the dirt may symbolize the challenges and hard labor involved, it is essential to realizing lofty ideas.
The dynamic Scene Swap is a two-for-one artistic experience that transports the VeeFriends Series 2 character from a dark neon underground with goo and glows to an exciting candy-colored surreal sky scene. Accompanied by immersive sound design for each environment, this artwork underscores that without execution, ideas remain stagnant, and without ideas, hard work yields little progress, making the mastery of this balance a crucial skill to cultivate over time.

What is a Scene Swap?
Scene Swaps are a unique way to transform your VeeFriends Series 2 token(s) artwork by changing the background scene through Burn Island. VeeFriends will collaborate with various artists and brands to create exclusive Series 2 Scenes, allowing Eruption participants to alter the appearance and metadata of their tokens permanently.
*It’s important to note that your Series 2 NFT will NOT be burned. You will, at times, be required to burn a different VeeFriends token such as BOOK GAMES, or other eligibility requirements, while some swaps may not require a burn to change your existing Series 2 NFT Scene and related metadata properties information. The choice of change falls within your hands, you choose your own destiny. If you do not participate in Burn Island “Scene Swaps,” no metadata altering will happen, and your Series 2 NFT will remain in its original state.
