WORK

OUTLINE

Start of NFT activities

Mr. GIMO started his activities in January 2021, when he purchased a work from NFT. In the same month, he released a collection called “PAXXX”. PAXXX” is a cute character with a motif of a headdress. The first collection was difficult to sell because NFT was not yet widespread, but many people purchased it, and the attractiveness of gimo’s illustrations became well known to the world.

In May 2021, NFT activities will begin in earnest with the launch of the GIMO collection. The collection is characterized by the “three eyes in a horizontal line. The character is refined by using thick lines, leaving only the necessary elements, so that the motif is recognizable in its minimal form. It is truly a collection of subtraction. This character has a strong impact due to its simplicity and leaves a strong impression. This is a very popular collection with a total volume of 19 ETH since its release.

I’m so interested in various things that I found myself with three eyes! This is a collection of gimo, residents of TONARI TOWN, a town said to be located deep in the forest. Please try to find your favorite gimo.

Diverse collaborations.

The gimo collection is characterized by its very simple design, making it a motif that is easy to harmonize with any kind of art and easy to collaborate with. For this reason, we have collaborated with many creators.
In addition, I think that the good attitude and personality of Mr. gimo toward his artwork creation from his X postings, such as “I genuinely enjoy it as if I were in elementary school,” is also a factor that leads to collaborations.

He has collaborated with YUO(@YUO_8888), famous for his cute character BALLOON RABBIT with balloons, with Oto(@otograf_jp) for the 100 works commemorative giveaway, and with sloth, of which Kensuu(@kensuu) is the founder, for costume collaboration, and many others to make the NFT industry more exciting.

He has also been active in exhibition activities, and held the [EDGEoff x gimo] gimo exhibition on September 30, 2023. gimo was his first solo exhibition, and he enjoyed communicating with visitors during his stay at the gallery. He is also actively involved in real activities, exhibiting at three-person shows, Design Festa, and other events.

Furthermore, in order to spread the appeal of the GIMO collection, they are also developing a variety of goods. He also said that he is not neglecting his quest for quality and pays attention to details such as chains for acrylic key chains, and that he prepares items that will please people even if the cost is high. I would definitely like to get one if I attend the event.

A new collection has also entered the Bitcoin NFT (Ordinals), a spin-off collection of gimo’s “nyals” 333 animals are also available.
The world of “nyals” is “a paradise for kittens said to be near TONARI TOWN,” and the Ordinals pieces are said to be designed to display beautifully even when the images are enlarged. This is also a collection of great interest.
