The Flannel Donut Studio Cafe is not an idea or dream waiting to be validated. It is a project already underway. With early infrastructure support in place, this NFT fundraise exists for a different reason: to widen the circle.
We wanted a way for individuals to participate meaningfully—and a small number of founders to materially support the build—without turning the process into speculation or hype.
The result is a limited 1/1 NFT release designed as a chance to stand close to the beginning of a physical and creative space opening in the heart of Downtown Portland, Oregon.
These NFTs are a one-of-one collection of original character designs created for All You Need Is One, the stop-motion animated spot produced to announce the launch of the Base App. Each handmade 1/1 comes directly from the production process—designs that helped define the visual language of the short film itself.
Discover the collection here: https://opensea.io/collection/flanneldonut100
Purchasing one of these pieces is not about access, perks, or future promises. It represents visible support for a real build in progress—and public participation in its origin.
The funds from this collection contribute directly to establishing the Studio Café as a place for community gathering and long-term creative work.
This collection is not designed to attract everyone. It is not meant for casual trend-chasers or people who need convincing. It is designed for a small number of people who like being early to a serious project led by industry professionals in the heart of the stop motion capital of the world: Downtown Portland. Plus, this place was supported by mf Base, so technically the article should end here, but we want to explain what this is all about so it's clear. And clarity is a magnet ️.
We at Flannel Donut are not asking for belief in a hypothetical future. We've got the big awards and accolades that already validate that corner of our minds. What we are asking for is participation in something already in motion—because launching without community involvement feels disconnected, incomplete, and misses the chance to build something together from the start.
The Studio Café sits at the intersection of physical space and cultural production: a real-world, public environment built by Emmy and Oscar winning talent who work in film, animation, and beyond. It is designed to support creative web3 endeavors and community in a city where that work already thrives.
Because the Studio Café is already in motion, this NFT fundraise is not about proof. It is about proximity. Proximity to the build, to the people and to the moment something real takes shape.
We are opening a limited number of NFTs that represent positions of proximity to the build.
The structure is intentionally simple:
90 Supporter NFTs at .333 ETH
10 Founder NFTs at 7.77 ETH
And each exists for a specific reason.
The 90 Supporter NFTs exist so individuals can participate in the foundation of the Studio Café.
This tier is about accessible participation. It is for people who believe in physical spaces, building in public, and community-backed creation—and who want to be recognized as part of how something came into existence.
Of course we'll airdrop our studio token $StopMo to all 1/1 NFT holders, and invite you to the opening party, too.
The 10 Founder NFTs exist because certain builds require a small number of people willing to stand underneath them early and carry weight so the rest of the structure can rise.
This tier is for operators, founders, angels, and high-trust patrons who understand long-term builds. People who recognize momentum, have excellent taste, and are serious about associating with exceptional builders with lengthy professional careers.
What these NFTs represent are anchor-level contributors, named as part of the foundation.
With early infrastructure support already in place, this raise expands the circle and allows individuals to participate meaningfully, while creating space for a small number of anchors to materially support the foundation.
The 90 Support NFTs tighten community.
The 10 Founder NFTs provide structural foundation.
Together, they reflect how real things are actually built. Built to make a difference. And built to last.
Success for us does not require a perfect launch, universal enthusiasm, or instant sell-through. It requires enough aligned support to take the next step. We are animators and filmmakers with deep roots in the industry and are made up of the DNA that pivots, adjusts and troubleshoots naturally. We do not know failure, we only know how to find another way.
There is nothing experimental about our team’s ability to direct, produce, manage complexity, or ship creative work under constraint. That capability has been proven over decades of real output.
Therefore, The Studio Cafe is not speculative. It is built on proof. We are not a vibe. We are world renowned institutional validation rooted in execution. We have a clear vision connecting art, space and community all on Base rails with real momentum that can only come from us.
Witnessing stories come to life frame by frame is magical. It's interesting to be around. We anticipate being a hub of creative inspiration and enjoyment for locals and tourists alike. And with a recorded footprint seeing 250,000 visitors a year from the previous business, we look forward to increasing that.
Flannel Donut is a blockchain animation studio on Base and consists of Emmy winning director Rob Shaw, and 2x Webby nominated filmmakers Kristen Kingsbury and Pippin Beard of Pattern Integrity Films. We launched in Feb 2025 with a six part series starring Fred Armisen called You Play Too Much, followed by an animated pilot for Yaboy Nancy, then a few stop motion animated short films, a spot for Clanker announcing our studio token $StopMo, and a spot for Base. It's been a pretty great year for us and we can't wait to knock your socks off Q1 2026.
To be close enough to watch a real place take shape.
To support work that happens in public, frame by frame, cup by cup.
To help bring a physical and cultural space into the world—and be named as part of how it began.
The Studio Café will exist with or without broad consensus. The build is already underway. What this moment offers is the chance to stand near the origin rather than arrive after the fact.
For those who recognize serious work, real momentum, and builders who finish things, no explanation is required.
You’re either already leaning in—or you’re not.
And for the right people, that’s enough for us.
See you on opening day...
