The primary goal of the project is to provide stakeholders with unique Tokens. Which possess features and characteristics that help the Tokens retain their value. In conclusion, create NFTs, which not only had extrinsic value through the rarity of their traits but also possessed the ability to generate intrinsic value with their unique characteristics and features. This is why the scope of the artwork contained within the project is so wide and why the layout of the token is set up the way that it is. 
 
The personal goal behind all of this was to wrap it all up in an artistic style and to be able to create something fun, new, and unique. Which blended all the things we know and love about Collectibles.


A Method to the Madness. 


All Of The Things, All Of The Time. 

Using a generator on the project created far too many challenges. There was just too much overlapping, bleaching, and insane levels of contrast taking place. Meaning the only workaround was to lay each Token by hand. Once all the Tokens in the project were handset. A sweep was carried out to rebalance the layers, followed by a walk-through that focused heavily on QC. To ensure that every Token fits the portfolio aesthetically.

Bespoke Tokens.


The project itself consists of 486 layers. Spread out - between 10 traits. Within the project - you will find a wide assortment of curated content. Spanning out - across the entire floor space of the NFTs. 

One of the many goals of the project was to ensure that it contained a wide assortment of content. So that it would be able to resonate with the largest audience possible. 

Blast Off. 


Enter the Block.

Message from the Artist. 

Block Junkies was a fun project to work on. Not only did it provide me with a creative outlet, but it also granted me the ability. To try new concepts and ideas within the digital floorspace. 

While the project itself has a certain level of intensity built into it. There is a method to the madness. Everything contained within the project was carefully selected and curated. To ensure that when the catalyst took place between the concepts and components within the artwork. It would convey a meaningful message. 

At the end of the day, though. You may take the project however you like. All I can say is that it’s been a fun journey, and I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Block Junkies - Enter The Madness


To get a sense of the scope of content - contained within the project. 
A breakdown of the Traits is below. 

Boarders (Around the Token) - 14
Backgrounds - 14
Pets - 61
Carrying (Item/Totem Float) - 103
Eyes - 99
Expression - 61
Tentacles - 28

To get a sense of some of the styling contained within the Artwork. Some of the layers in the project are stand-alone. Meaning they only appear "as is". While other layers may possess "Alts". Meaning they have counterparts of themselves, which are more/less rare. These counterparts may be done in a different artistic style or they may be done with a more classical approach. Such as Stone, Gold, Glass, etc. 

Laid Out. 

Etherscan


Block Junkies is a Massive Eclectic Amalgamation. Containing 10,000 unique collectible NFTs. The tokens contained within the project - are a blend of visually intense emoji-like PFPs, surrounded by external concepts. Each NFT within the portfolio - is a standalone work of Art.

Enter the Madness... 

Block Junkies took a little over a year and a half to produce. Yes, this is an insane amount of time to spend on a project. 

However, it was worth every minute spent. To ensure the vision for the project. Unfolded, just as intended. 

Clock Work. 


More Junk Than All The Trunks.

More Layers Than All The Cakes.
