THE_PAWNIES

Inspired by chess, Lego bricks, anticipation movies & novels like "1984" , "They Live", or the works of Shepard Fairey and Jim Phillips... The_Pawnies is a graphic dystopic universe, an NFT collection, a designer's craze and a tribute to graffiti and street artists from the 90's.

 

This generative design project is based on the concepts of personalisation, of standardisation, duplication, reproduction, overproduction and oversupply of visual elements.

Thus, the use of iterations, graphic random combinations known to create NFTs, allows to generate an infinity of different characters, all built from a standard base, but all uniques.

Moreover, the use of an isometric perspective allows to place those elements & characters anywhere on the plan and at any size, offering the possibility of creating a vast variety of "small worlds" and an infinity of posters & visuals.

Follow the rules, respect authority, enter the world of The_Pawnies ...
