THE CREAM LEAGUE 2021
STRAWBERRIES & CREEM FESTIVAL NFT COLLECTION
OFFICIAL PRESS STATEMENT
Over the last year I’ve been fascinated with NFTs and the sudden explosion of this new crypto art phenomenon so when I was contacted by Sogaworld to help them and Strawberries & Creem Festival create their first-ever NFT collection I knew this was something I had to be a part of.
It was important to all of us involved that we created something more than just a standard festival ticket. We wanted every single person that purchased one of our NFTs to have that special feeling only a true card collector understands, that feeling of owning something rare that belongs to just you.
As a real nerd at heart I’ve always been a huge fan of comic books and collectors cards so naturally I was sold on the idea of creating a series of our own unique collector’s items that would be combined with real-life festival perks using the NFT and blockchain technology so working closely with Sogaworld and Strawberries & Creem created “The Creem League 2021”, 8 of our own limited edition collectors cards for this years 2021 Strawberries & Creem Festival.
In creating the artwork for this project it was really important that each one of our NFTs felt special and memorable enough that collectors would cherish them forever so it was only right that we created the entire collection as a series of superhero characters inspired by the main artists performing at Strawberries & Creem festival this year. From Burna Boy to Pa Salieu, Koffee, PartyNextDoor, and many others we had so much fun brainstorming cool superhero names, alter egos, special skills, and looks inspired by these incredible artists, ensuring we created the absolute coolest characters and artwork possible.
Being able to collaborate and work so closely with the festival founders Preye and Chris aswell as the team at Sogawork on such an involved project is really what made this collection so special. We truly put our love and passion into this series and this one of a kind project is a piece of history I’m really proud to be a part of, very possibly the first festival in the world to do anything like this.
The premiering of this years S&C cards begins a series of limited edition collectors items that will be continued and added onto for years to come. This years cards will be the first ever edition publicly released and therefore hold the most value and in celebration of this we’ve decided to offer one lucky winner of the lottery prizes the opportunity to have their very own custom NFT card made by yours truly, a true one of a kind collectors item unlike any before.
