The Chaos
February 2022, when NFTs were pretty hot and generative art was going strong, our artist played around with the idea "How hard would it be for a human to think up and hand-draw a few hundred, non-generated, unique doodle characters?" Come to find out-
Really hard
But after a while she got into stride, and the goal went from a few hundred, to a couple of thousand. End of July 2022 it was official. No satisfaction with any less than a genuine, "toddle-along-after-the-big-boys" collection of 10,000 doodle characters, and all of them had to be finished within 12 months. So, did she make it? Did she meet her self-imposed deadline? Yup! Success! With a few days, and couple hundred extra creatures to spare. And then, into a box all of the notebooks full of critters went.
The end
Just kidding. These guys are way too cute to keep in a box. So, the NFT collection is available on Rarible (The whole gang, plus the "reverse" version of each), and we'll be rotating through some favorite characters on merch here. The artist wanted to share some of the fun she had in drawing the originals, so we have a tracing page available to print for free that we'll update periodically too (top menu).
Shopping
For Shopping— Each Character has three Designs:
- The Original with a white backdrop
- The Original with a white outline so it looks good "On Black"
- Reverse contrast and orientation - Because it looks pretty great too
You can shop by Character on our "Hangout" page (Our Favorite way to hunt), or by Product (T-shirt, hoodie, mug etc.) all available from the Homepage.
Good luck. Have fun.
