Context

Dumb Jimmies are manifestations of myself in avatar form. There are 10 1/1s. No more Dumb Jimmies will ever be produced.

You can find them on Opensea here — where Dumb Jimmies will be auctioned off for the next three days (ends Tuesday 10am Pacific Time).

Dumb Jimmies have a variety of outfits, faces, and colors. All Jimmies are rare, and — most importantly — all Jimmies are Dumb.

Story Behind the Art

Pfp NFT projects have blown up this summer, and while I love them, I've always had a strong appreciation and affinity for my IRL identity. So I never really 'saw myself' in any of the projects; I treated them more like costumes or even little digital pets.

I'm proud of who my IRL self is. I didn't for a long time, so I'm grateful that I can see myself now and love me for all my flaws. I didn't want to lose that feeling of 'me' during NFT Summer.

So I created Dumb Jimmies as an expression of that feeling. A way for 'me' to be a part of this craziness, immortalized on the blockchain, so that I can look back fondly at this time and demonstrably say that I was a part of it.

I am not a professionally trained artist, nor do I intend to offend anyone with my rudimentary attempt at creating avatars. I just wanted to create something that I felt represented me — with my own hands, to the best of my ability.
