Hey collector family, new entry in the Archivador NFT!

Today I found a piece that took me back in time and uncovered one of the most important and forgotten projects on the Flow chain. @flow_blockchain

Hoodlums @HoodlumsNFT — the first generative PFP collection ever launched on Flow.

Why it’s special and why it belongs in the Archivador:

5,000 uniquely generated characters by artist Somehoodlum.

Launched in September 2021 and sold out in minutes (the very first true PFP on Flow).

It paved the way for everything that came after on this chain, before NBA Top Shot made Flow famous.

Today it’s almost forgotten by the market: very low volume, accessible price and little activity, but it remains a beautiful piece of early Flow history.

For me, Hoodlums is a beautiful fossil from Flow’s first wave, when the chain was still an experiment and creators were betting on real art without thinking about flips.

Never walk alone.

Hoodlums 🤝 Flunks

Deja Entendu

It's a French phrase that means already heard. The term itself captures a sense of excitement and familiarity, like something you've encountered before.

It also happens to be the name of Brand New's 2003 album that helped shape a generation of alt rock/emo kids like me.

I try to think back to the spark that ignited when the project initially launched. The HYPE that was built leading up to reveal and the immediate sell out was unlike anything I and many others had experienced...

Following the initial mint, we saw floor prices skyrocket. We, as Flunk holders, were actually kind of spoiled compared to other NFT projects. We had follow up NFT's airdropped (Backpacks) as well as the 2d Graduation artwork from Haaandy (🤌). There were other pending items that were under development ($GUM, JNRS, 3d, etc) that never saw the light of day, but were teased. We have been diligently working behind the scenes to acquire all of these in hopes of releasing them in the future.

But, transparency is key and not what was given initially. I try to put myself in the shoes of the founders. Banked $2.5 million, spent some on development and staff etc, but eventually kind of just gave up. Were they ahead of the curve with a dying NFT market and just wanted to wash their hands clean and step away? Was the juice just not worth the squeeze anymore with the changing market sentiment toward NFT's and they didn't see any future monetary gain in Flunks?

Regardless, here we are. But what is here?

The trajectory of what Flunks is and becomes is guided by us, the community, now. Sure, there are a few of us that are more financially or emotionally invested than others, but we welcome new ideas and new flunk holders into our lil slice of the web3 world.

So, what would it take to bring value back to Flunks and more importantly.... what is value? Is the only marker of success making back all the money we invested and lost? If so, sorry it might be a minute but personally, I refuse to let the IP die. I love what was created and I know we have some of the best art and potential for growth in web3.

Here's what it comes down to: The good vibes are still here, the embers are still smoldering and waiting to be rekindled. Let's embrace this opportunity to create something amazing together. More to come soon.
