GrumBeast is a new, limited-edition collection of NFTs that fuses the haunting minimalism of Grum Reapur with the bold style of hand-illustrated BizarreBeasts. It's a unique collection of NFTs from two distinct yet complementary artistic worlds (and Glanker Empires).

This artistic collaboration blends the cynical nature of my hand-illustrated BizarreBeasts creations with the dark and haunting aesthetic of @rumbl.eth’s Grum Reapur art toy universe. This original, hand-illustrated BizarreBeasts ($BB) artwork was created exclusively for this one-of-a-kind collaboration with Grum Reapur ($REAPS).

It all began when @rumbl.eth cast this prompt to the Grum Reapur ($REAPS) Empire community:

Grum is evolving and you’re the architect. Drop your weirdest, wildest character or creature idea to be reborn in Grum form. Pop culture? Folklore? Total fever dream? All fair game.

I was instantly inspired and created a custom BizarreBeasts illustration to capture the concept—something that paid homage to the quiet intensity of the Grum Reapur form while channeling the expressive style that defines my work.

@rumbl.eth and I loved the result so much that we decided to make it an official, mintable collaboration. The BIZARRE GrumBeast artwork is now available as a limited-edition NFT collection on Rodeo.club and Highlight.

The collection includes 14 pieces:

• GrumBeast #1-#4 are available on Highlight NOW!

• GrumBeast #5-#13 will be dropped on Rodeo - the most BIZARRE collectors will collect them all! Dropping between May 12th and 31st.

• Collectors of all 13 GrumBeasts will receive a very rare and limited edition GrumBeast #14 for FREE to complete their collection! (No spoilers!)

Two Worlds, One Creature

@rumbl.eth’s Grum Reapur began as a haunting handmade art toy—a hooded figure representing grief, mental health, and transformation. It’s since become an icon in the art toy scene and web3 culture alike.

My project, BizarreBeasts, is a hand-illustrated onchain art world where BIZARRE characters explore themes of dark absurdity through comics, games, and NFTs.

GrumBeast is what happens when these two visions collide: a character that is darkly haunting and humorously BIZARRE.

About Me

As the artist and creator behind BizarreBeasts, I'm continually exploring the exciting intersection of my lifelong passion for illustration and the darkly humorous world of outsider art with the innovative possibilities of web3. I'm drawn to the space where the comical and unsettling coexist, which influences the unique characters and narratives I create within the BizarreBeasts universe.

For me, BizarreBeasts is more than just digital collectibles; it's a fusion of my artistic vision and the potential of decentralized technology to build a community and foster new economic forms. This article reflects my hands-on exploration of blockchain technology as a tool to weave together community, culture, and cryptocurrency within the BizarreBeasts ecosystem.
