The BizarreBeasts universe is leveling up in a majorly BIZARRE way. Last month, we were honored to take 1st Place in the DCP Award for Base Creators. That success proved the potential of BizarreBeasts art, our BIZARRE community, and our commitment to building onchain.
Now, we've taken the next major step in exploring growth and support opportunities available through Decentralized Pictures (DCP): We’ve officially applied for the A3 Startup Award!

This is the second annual award designed to fuel the most innovative decentralized media projects. I am seeking the $100K A3 Award to scale our IP into a notorious, onchain streaming brand.

This is a collaboration, not just an application. DCP provides the platform, and the BizarreBeasts community provides the power!
Winning this award would be a MAJOR advancement in the life of the BizarreBeasts project and for me, the builder and artist. The funding and support would allow me to pursue illustration and animation as a lifelong legacy endeavor and focus full-time on building the $BB project!
This award would give BizarreBeasts a launchpad to:
Create an all-original, multi-season animated series.
Empower the project's evolution into a sustainable streaming media brand, published on DCP+.
Expand the BizarreBeasts product offerings into children's books, games, coloring books, apparel, toys, merch, and more—all rooted in original IP.
This $100K doesn't just fund a project; it funds a BIZARRE movement! A commitment to proving that independent, artist-led, community-owned universes are an innovative part of the future of onchain entertainment.

The BizarreBeasts brand is built on a simple philosophy: Original, hand-illustrated art leads the way.

Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
Origin Story | 50+ canvas paintings and 300+ ink illustrations started the universe in 2021. The art came first. |
Community | 6,800+ $BB token holders and 1,800+ NFT collectors on Base. |
Engagement | 9 playable games (built by me as a solo artist) with over 152,000+ total plays. |
Web3 Presence | Top-100 Farcaster Miniapp (highest rank of #52) with 2,700+ users and daily engagement. |
Validation | $2,350 in competition wins, including 1st Place in DCP's Base Creators Award. |

Our 8-episode BizarreBeasts comedy series is currently in development and pre-production, slated to stream on DCP+ in 2026. This initial season establishes the foundation for our onchain transmedia brand.
The $100K A3 Award is crucial to securing the infrastructure and funding needed to develop Season 2 and the BizarreBeasts Learning Lab for childhood learning and educational content. Beyond the main series, the proof-of-concept "Zombiez" short is already being expanded into a full episode, and this funding would enable us to immediately roll out the IP into educational content ("BizarreBeasts Kids Learning") and physical products (the "BizarreBeasts: Zombiez" children's book).
The Vision: Web3 transforms the audience relationship. Our collectors aren't passive viewers; they are community members who participate, create, and share in the ownership of the BizarreBeasts universe.

Let's bring that $100K home to the BizarreBeasts!
The A3 Award funds the infrastructure for scaling beyond the initial series. The $100K grant will enable us to transform a pilot into a scalable, Web3 media studio.

The A3 Award will fund:
Season 2 development and educational content expansion
Marketing and community launch events
Physical product development (children's books, merchandise)
Production infrastructure and technology upgrades
Platform enhancements and community features

BizarreBeasts ($BB) is not just another applicant. We are a proven Web3 brand with an unparalleled track record of execution, creation, and community engagement.
Proven Track Record: We don't just promise, we deliver. Our initial DCP award was deployed immediately upon receipt to produce the "BizarreBeasts: Zombiez" animation.
Real Community: 9,000+ followers, 6,800+ token holders, and 152,000 game plays is a home base for daily engagement, contest participation, and active collectors.

Artist-Driven Mission: This is more than a startup; it's the culmination of a decade of original illustration and artistic pursuit, a lifelong goal of animation, and ready to scale with a pioneering launchpad.
Multi-Format IP: We're building a transmedia universe onchain (games, books, merch, streaming) that maximizes reach and collector value through innovative Web3 economies.
The BIZARRE commitment to building onchain has resulted in significant recognition for BizarreBeasts, including official features and a major award from DCP:
DCP Official Feature: "Inside the BizarreBeasts Universe"
Creator Behind-The-Scenes: "DCP Spotlights BizarreBeasts IP"

I'm the artist and builder behind BizarreBeasts ($BB), creating a universe where art and web3 technology converge. This is where everything I am intersects: an artist captivated by darkly humorous outsider art, a builder who creates games and miniapps, a musician performing original soundtracks, and a true BIZARRE believer in decentralized creativity.
This project was born from a vision of what's possible when an artist fully owns their creative universe: exploring the opportunities and economies that web3 enables to build a legacy of creativity and freedom for myself and the BizarreBeasts community. Learn more about me.

BizarreBeasts is an original, art-powered ecosystem featuring hand-illustrated characters, animations, NFTs, and web3 games. With 9 games played over 140,000 times—hitting #1 trending on both Remix and The Base App—I've built a notorious community of 5,600+ token holders going BIZARRE.
The $BB token fuels this creative universe: rewarding the community, unlocking exclusive perks, and providing access to the /bizarrebeasts Farcaster channel. As a holder, climb the Empire leaderboard, earn treasury rewards, and unlock premium features in our meme creator and contests.
