I’ve built two pixel worlds from scratch -@basedminis and @peekcellOdyssey. No team. No funding. Just me, a tablet, and a love for storytelling. This thread is my love letter to both projects - and to you for believing in what I create 🧵👇

What an honour! I still can not believe this happened! I have been placing this pixels in a trance like state :D !

Been canning some apes this morning 🍌 Drop your ape below and RT and I will pick some more to can! @BoredApeYC 💚

I have little something coming on Ape Chain for you all 👀 Put your notis on not to miss it!

I just did craziest thing in a while... I got myself an @Azuki Elemental Bean, and I’m about to crack it open. The emotions are off the charts- send me all the hugs for luck! 🤍

I have finished another Genesis @ChimpersNFT story! This time it was the amazing Roketto commissioned by @nizoeth ! It was quite an adventure! So happy to see Roketto on a good mission 🌱 !CHIMP #pixelart #pixelartist #chimpers

GM! Peekcell Minis are spreading the love and uniting web3! Comment bellow what communities should get on the mini craze 🔻 Like & RT = 📷💙

Hey, just wanted to let you all get to know me a little better. Thanks to @0xcryptomoments, I had the chance to stand in front of the camera and say a few words about myself. Seeing and hearing myself recorded was a challenge, but I'm glad I conquered it! Enjoy the show :D

GM Friends! I wanted to introduce to you @BasedMinis my solo venture into the enchanting world of @base pixel art. Many of you know or have at least one Mini! To those that have minted a mini I have a guaranteed WL! As Peekcell, I've poured my heart and soul into crafting this collection from start to finish. It's an art project born out of pure love for pixels and the vibrant communities of Web3. BASED MINIS is a celebration of fun, creativity, and the joy of pixel art. With no roadmap or utility, each character and trait is a labor of love, bringing together familiar faces in a playful twist. This is the first collection of its size ever undertaken by me, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. I would REALLY appreciate a shoutout and a RT.

Wheeew that was an intense project. Here is my entry for the dojo themed contest! I have tried something different this time. Wanted to give up few times but decided to keep going - !chimp Would you play it? 👀🕹 #chimpersaf @ChimpersNFT @TimpersHD @NFT1nsight @PunkHot10

Hey @Deadfellaz I just did a thing. My first ever fella 🧟‍♂️ @betty_nft how did I do?

👀 I’ve heard ApeChain is a blast! Seeing so many of you reignite the NFT collecting vibes has been amazing. Link below 👇 As a BAYC club member for 2 years and after experiencing the mind-blowing energy of Ape Fest for the first time, I can confirm—apes are all about fun! I know a thing or two about bringing the good vibes too, so I’m dropping an Open Edition that goes live for just 24 hours! Crafted with love and countless hours of pixel placing since I got back from Lisbon. Make sure you have the sound on for the full experience. Minis and I are here to spread positive energy across collections and chains. Let’s keep the vibes rolling, Apes!

Proof of work Peekcell Minis never sleep! Share your mini below! 🔽

GM! I survived 😵‍💫

Exciting News! Our Peekcell Mini Apes project is now live! 🎉 I've been working closely with the team at @apetech_ to bring this idea to life, and I'm thrilled to finally share it with all of you. It's been a journey of hard work and creativity, and seeing it come together is truly rewarding. Now, BAYC owners can skip the DM queue and see their Apes transformed into the unique Peekcell Mini style! In a fun twist, these Apes have gathered around Neo Tokyo and started their own colony right next door. What's more, they're showing-off their new pixel personas in an exclusive collection on OpenSea! Big thanks for the incredible support and enthusiasm you've all shown. This project is a testament to our amazing community. Can't wait for you to check it out and bring your Apes into the world of pixels! Also COMING SOON: Got an OG Peekcell Mini Ape? You can move it to the new contract at no extra cost – just the gas. To kick things off, we're running a raffle! 🎟️ Retweet for a chance to get your mint cost refunded. One lucky Ape owner will win! mini-apes.peekcell.art/

Omg, did this actually happen?! Woke up in the middle of the night, checked my phone, and saw this! 🤯 Love you Apes! @BoredApeYC

“My Neighbour Chimporo” I was supposed to travel to London to see the Totoro on stage couple days ago with my wife, but unfortunately I had to stay in bed with covid 😅 Had a little fomo so decided to created some pixel art inspired by one of the most iconic scenes 👀 🔗⬇️

GM! Starting day of the Peekcell Mini craze! So many legends have joined, more waiting for their minis and still more left waiting in the DMs! (sorry to those) I am going through my notifications as fas as humanly possible maintaining the balance between replying and creating 😂👾 Please bear with me and thanks again for the love🙏

New edition: The Fellowship of the Chimp is now live! Follow the link in my bio to get one 🐸 Thank you to all the edition holders who submitted their @ChimpersNFT for this adventure! Music was created by my talented wife @ArtPreposterous , SFX by me Love and !Chimp

2 hours to go.... @apecoin APECHAIN are you ready? Wait for an official announcement from me and be careful out there! 👀

Are we there yet? Art made for @InscribedPepe 👾🐸

Alright, it’s official- I finally got myself an @Azuki, and of course, I had to turn her into a Mini! ⛩️ Here you go, Azuki fam—this is how we do it at @BasedMinis! 🎉 P.S. The animation will be available today on my rodeo 👀 IKZ @Zagabond

Hey Friends! About yesterday... I'm still processing the mix of emotions that overcame me. I'm both happy and shocked with the sell-out of @BasedMinis. Standing by the desk yesterday, feeling completely overwhelmed, was one of the most stressful moments of my life. I felt physically ill when things didn't go as planned and I had to wait for third parties to resolve issues beyond my control. Maybe it was my own doing since I chose to handle everything solo. As you know, I'm an artist, not a developer; I learned as I went, experimenting on testnets. I thought I was ready. But, as we've seen, a safe environment can't test you like the real world does. The overwhelming number of requests caused the platform to freeze and crash. Additionally, I had issues with MM; transactions were clogged and not going through. Thankfully, the support from some of you and the official MM support team helped. I also want to thank those of you who offered advice along the way (Looking at you @EJR_NFT). Your insights were invaluable as I navigated this new territory. I am deeply grateful to every single one of you. I wouldn’t have had the courage to launch a project this big on my own. Thank you all for your help, support, kind words, and encouragement. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the community and the friendships I’ve built along the way. I hope you will enjoy the revealed art as much as I enjoyed creating it. Let’s keep having fun and enjoying the good vibes like we always do! Stay Mini!

Just realized… it’s been 20 years with Mrs. Peekcell 💫 I fell in love the moment I saw her- and I’ve loved her ever since. Through everything, she’s been my constant, my calm, my chaos, my home. I’m so lucky to have found my soulmate. Here’s to us and the next 20 ❤️

So grateful to have you all here 🫶 Have a great and stay Mini! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Welcome to the vibrant world of Neo-Tokyo! This Peekcell Mini character is a vital resident of our pixelated metropolis, holding a special passport that symbolizes their unique place in this ever-evolving city. As a bearer of Neo-Tokyo's spirit, they add color and charm to our digital cosmos, enriching the @PeekcellOdyssey universe with their presence.

I... don't know what happened. I just want to thank you all... I am shaking and laughing and am speechless right now! I do want to announce what next but I will leave it for the morning :D ! It's after 1 am here and I need to shake it off. I do have a plan for whats next 🔥👀

I am currently collaborating with HeyMint and MetaMask support. Earlier today, I met with top advisors and discussed several options considering various factors, with my primary goal always focused on benefiting our supporters first. I propose extending the whitelist mint phase by one hour, followed by a quick one-hour public phase. After that, I plan to swiftly adjust the supply based on market conditions to preserve and increase value for our early supporters, minters, and holders. I'm currently addressing a potential challenging situation, but I am actively working with HeyMint support to resolve it. Rest assured, I will provide updates shortly and ensure that our holders receive the best outcome possible.

While I am at it I made a @pacmoon_ mask/hat for a Chimper friend of mine!

What a night🫶 @ChimpersNFT London meet up by one and only @TravisTheApe (check out his tattoo 👀) !chimp

Merry Chimpmas everyone from me and the fellowship of the chimp! Love you all and thanks for being here for me and for each other!

Ooof! I’ve got to say, this is one of the most aesthetic Azuki Elemental girls I’ve seen! The matching lighting, kimono, katana, and hair clip are just chef’s kiss 😻 @Zagabond @MINHxDYNASTY @Azuki How’d I do?

🚨The new edition is now live. 🚨 Link below ⏬ "Together" Minis are uniting web3 communities, spreading love wherever they appear. Show some love and join us—after all, we are all in this together. Due to the ETH gas fees going crazy I opted for SOL. I hope my eth fam will take some time to swap for sol and pick one.

GM if you are GMing! @artblocks_io 💕

Hey friends! My piece "The Hangover" is now available on the foundation, it is open for offers ❤️‍🔥 It is my first 1 of 1 👀👾 This is the only time that Chimp Peekcell has let the guard down, this allowed the Li'l Odyssey to leave his backpack foundation.app/@peekcell/pee…

GM! Is Monday a good day for pizza? 👀 asking for a friend 😅 @Herb_Castillo @ChimpersNFT @BoredApeYC #pixelart

Oh waaaait I am 4 minutes late for my first #mutantmonday hi frens 🍌 @BoredApeYC #bayc #mayc

GN Frens, throwback to when I animated all of the @ChimpersNFT genesis and legendary for the dojo battles! 🫶🔥🔥

Sad news this morning. Commemorating the day 1st March 2024 I have decided to pay tribute by offering 1324 free pieces of mini Goku. Growing up in the 90s, "Dragon Ball" was one of the first anime series I watched on TV; it was a cornerstone of my childhood, shaping the adult I am today. I remember skipping school at times just to make it home in time for the episodes being aired. Learning about the passing of Akira Toriyama, its brilliant creator, fills me with deep sadness, as his work left an indelible mark on my life. See you in the Other World.

I think I am hooked on the art!

@ChimpersNFT CHIIIIMPERS! It is time to reveal the animation that I was working on for @adamalamode and his chimp 👀 I am so proud of this! Let me know what you think!! !CHIMP #chimpersart #chimpers #pixelart #pixelartnft #NFTCommumity

Yoooo just got this insane Chimp! @ChimpersNFT

Super stressed right now haha, been shaking the whole day! First time dropping something of that calibre. The @BasedMinis WL mint phase will be live for 17 hours starting in 2 hours then we go into Public. I hope to see you all there :) Grab a mini if you can :D

I made it! First day in and already the legend @ZAGABOND gave me a follow and welcomed me in! 🤯 Thanks everyone for the warm welcome into the @Azuki garden! IKZ ⛩️

GM! Here's my @ChimpersAF submission for the "Chimpers Nightlife" competition - I decided to go with the day-after vibes. Inspired by the "Hangover" movie and the recent @ChimpersNFT trip to Vegas 😁 @dirtybuns @cypheristikal @lamine_abriche

Here I am! Say hello to my @savagenationnft Yamato! Had to pick him because of this amazing background, heart on the hat and similar facial expression to my @ChimpersNFT pfp! Thanks @Elite_Sylph @NFTCrazyKRC @JPEGreg @BTCp1rate @nft_kashi and the rest!

Gm to you all and a happy birthday to me 🎂! The person hiding behind this little monkey (me 😅) is turning 35 today 🫶 I do not remember having this much fun creating as this year after joining the @ChimpersNFT community ❤️

So far only Chimpers and Apes have been receiving the @pacmoon_ treatment! Let me know which other communities should be @pacmoon_ -ed!

A short by me starting @JPEGreg‘s #bayc and #bakc with the chimpified version of his ape too! Sound on 🔊 @BoredApeYC @yugalabs @ChimpersNFT

Had to pull another 10 and just look at that @GM_DFZ 🥳

GM frens! Hi to my new friends from @Nakamigos that joined me recently!

I know I’m late to the party, but I’ve been exposed to Huntr/x K-pop Demon Hunters recently and decided to present the three main heroines in Mini form! Did you see it? Do you vibe with it? Will they close the Honmoon?! #huntrix #pixelart #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS

GM! How about a mini train 🚋🚋? Drop you mini below 👇 I will go first!

Embarking on a New Chapter in Peekcell Odyssey! 🎨 As the creator of @PeekcellOdyssey , I'm delving deeper into the neon-lit streets of Neo-Tokyo, bringing to life more pixel art magic. With 65 unique characters, each with their own lore, our journey is just getting more thrilling! In the heart of this cosmic city lies the Peekcell Store, where adventures unfold and tales are told.

GM! I am so proud of bringing some life into the @ChimpersNFT It was so much fun seeing what the Chimps are up to! I wonder what they all do now in the DOJO! Do you think they have time for some fun activities or is it only hard work? Time for some " in training" animations 👀?

Peekcell Editions - a thread! 🚨 Are you aware of my limited edition pieces? Three of them have been released in editions of 100. But why only 100, you ask?
