VeeFriends Presents the VeeCon 2022 NFT Artwork

To pass through the gates of U.S. Bank Stadium and enter into the world of VeeCon you need a VeeCon 2022 Ticket NFT. For this inaugural NFT ticket art, who better to collaborate with than a true Web3 pioneer who has seen the unrealized and generated his own path?


We are thrilled to present the token art for VeeCon 2022 - a collaboration between generative art NFT trailblazer, Snowfro, and Gary Vaynerchuk, the creator and visionary behind VeeFriends.

Erick 'Snowfro' Calderon, one of the most well-known creators in the NFT community, is the founder of Art Blocks (Art on Blockchain) - the first and foremost platform for artists to create generative art on the blockchain. Snowfro is also the creator of the Chromie Squiggle, the first series to go up on Art Blocks. We are excited to team up with Snowfro for his only collection since the creation of his historic chrome squiggles and the launch of art blocks.

To create the VeeCon 2022 token art, Gary drew dozens of unique variations on the letters spelling VEECON. With these letters as his canvas, Snowfro created over 900+ individually crafted letters containing various sections of the color spectrum based upon his famous Chromie Squiggle to fit within the letters. Adding to that, there are over 100 different iconic Snowfro backgrounds. In combination, these variables create over 100 to the 7th (1e+14) possible permutations - over 1 trillion possibilities - ensuring each ticket its own unique piece of art.

It seems overwhelming the amount of individual letters and colors created, but for Snowfro it was actually therapeutic! Per his last text message with the VeeFriends team:

"One of the reasons I took this on was from a mental health perspective. I had been looking for something to help me relax a bit, and this really forced me to slow down and just doodle for hours. It was nice that I could still be productive in the process 😊 " - @Snowfro

Backgrounds

There are 100 different backgrounds inspired and derived from VeeFriends characteristics, colliding the two worlds of VeeFriends and Snowfro.

Borderless Letters

Adding another layer of rarity, there are borderless letters with each letter having an 8% chance of achieving.

Postcards

Shuffled amongst the collection are 30 unique 1 of 1 'Postcards' featuring unique watercolor paintings created by Snowfro, with VeeCon spelled in black letters.

The ticket variables are full of innumerable opportunities of combination, a perfect metaphor for the boundless opportunities for connection, education, and innovation that VeeCon will bring.
