Prop 7 - Nouns x Noir
the proposer is still waiting for the “right energy” to start working on the sculptures, has been busy with auctions at Sothebys etc …, but it has been a year and a half since the prop passed with a proposed timeline of 3 months
money hasn’t moved from the original address (5 eth)
Prop 11 - Nouns Comic

final 4 teams are:

the team is now working on it without any extra funding and will try to get it played at film festivals & seek New Zealand gov funding
