Meet the 268 VeeFriends Characters

Hey guys. Now that my NFT launch has dropped, it is my pleasure to introduce and get my community properly acquainted with all 268 VeeFriends! These characters represent the human traits that I most admire and that I believe will lead to happiness and success, both personally and professionally. I also drew inspiration from popular culture references and some of the beloved characters and entertainment figures of my childhood.

Why “friends?” I called them friends because I believe that business with friends can be fun and that you can build a community around common interests and support one another through friendship, kindness, and empathy. That is what VeeFriends represents. These drawings come straight from my soul, and I’m excited to continue to build out their stories and bigger meanings in culture for the rest of my life and career.

People often ask me why NFTs? To me, the smart contract underneath NFTs is what excites me. It provides a new lens on utility, access, and collaborations. The first ever collaboration of VeeFriends was a capsule collection between VeeFriends’ “Perspective Pigeon” and the world-renowned streetwear brand STAPLE. My great hope is that people look back at this in two or three years and say, “wow, that was one of the early indications of how we could do things creatively with NFTs and collaborations.” And this is just the beginning!

In my eyes, each and every VeeFriends character is intellectual property and represents the opportunity for more dope projects and launches to come. That being said, allow me to introduce the VeeFriends family!
