“And with that, the Rare Pepe Directory is complete,” Looney said in a tweet.įurie got into NFTs after a years long legal battle to liberate his cartoon frog from the alt-right and regain some control over his creation. It looks like a Magic: The Gathering card, but Furie has signed his name in the space where the card description would be. In October, Chain/Saw announced that FEELSGOODMAN had been retrofitted with bespoke art from Furie, wrapped on Ethereum, and one token would be auctioned in a collaboration between Chain/Saw, Furie, and Looney.įEELSGOODMAN depicts a chilled out Pepe resting in a pond and bearing his big green ass.
Now, years later, Rare Pepes have found a second life by being “wrapped” for trade on the Ethereum blockchain and platforms like OpenSea. In 2016, Rare Pepe Wallet creator Joe Looney minted 500 tokens of an NFT called FEELSGOODMAN on the Bitcoin blockchain with art reserved for Furie to backfill himself one day. Rare Pepes have long been part of the blockchain art scene. The lawsuit, filed by the person who won the auction, alleges that Furie and Chain/Saw (the company behind PegzDAO) falsely advertised the rare nature of the NFT and released identical editions of it, tanking its resale value. As a one-off promotion and fundraiser for PegzDAO, the group auctioned off a Rare Pepe NFT featuring art from Furie himself. Furie has done all the artwork for PegzDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization selling NFTs in his signature style.
