Winkles & Flam: Digital Collectibles for Web3 Space
Introducing the First Cartoon Duo
Canadian art collective Sphynx Ink Inc. is partnering with OpenSea’s exclusive “Drops” platform to launch Winkles & Flam, a ground-breaking Digital Collectibles project introducing the first cartoon duo of the web3 space. Created by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Adam Benzine and BAFTA®-winning illustrator Dele Nuga, Winkles & Flam are adorkable sibling Sphynx cats who dress up in homemade, video game-inspired outfits.
High Quality Hand Drawn Art
A year in the works and featuring original, hand-drawn art, the project differs radically from current NFT projects. It is not a PFP (Profile Picture). Nor does it use generative elements. Launching April 3 with weekly content drops rather than all at once, Winkles & Flam will run for five seasons with sets of high quality hand drawn images comprising a mix of free mints, fixed price and auctioned offerings. Each set draws inspiration from an iconic video game with an educational component – Winklepedia™ – focusing on the history of video games.
Mint Foundry Visual Metadata Editor
Winkles & Flam is also the first major project to use Mintplex Lab’s cutting edge visual metadata editor Mint Foundry which allows creators to edit and update information in real time without coding knowledge. This makes it easier for creators to manage their digital collectible projects without having to worry about complex coding processes or expensive software licenses.
Season Pass On Sale Now
A Season Pass goes on sale today (March 27) exclusively via OpenSea Drops limited to just 1,000 copies and guaranteeing buyers all 30 cards from Season 1.
“Phase 2” Of Digital Collectibles Space
Winkles & Flam Creator Adam Benzine says: “Winkles & Flam marks the start of ‘Phase 2’ of the Digital Collectibles space; focusing on original characters narrative quality and reliability led by doxxed creators with a proven track record.” He added that “the market has grown tired of low quality rug pull pump n dumps and vaguely conceived cash grab metaverses” so there is now an opportunity for something fresh – like Winkles & Flam!
