From the moment we started building the ideas that would become
@goblintown
, we knew that we wanted this to be a world that was built with the input, cooperation, and inspiration of the NFT community. It has been an incredible experience so far. (Low effart thred) 🧵👇
Filled with gratitude for the entire
@truth
community. The melding of
@goblintownwtf
and
@secretsociety
has been a truly potent combination! Collaborating with all of you has been a dream and I can’t wait to do more.
A couple weeks ago I was invited to create a piece of work for the 2nd season of
@Proof_xyz
's Grails. In 4 days, the conceptual drawings and the final piece were completed. Those drawings will be released as my personal genesis on Sunday. A 🧵 ⬇️
Good things take time. We want to embody the change we want to see in this space. If you want us to follow the precedent set by the projects that failed you before …you may have joined the wrong community. For the rest of you, gob morning! Welcome to
@goblintownwtf
@goblintown
has always been about community, and we see grumpls as a way to celebrate some of the creators that make this space special.
(my favorite 🧵 ever 👇)
Coffee sketch/coffee thought:
What if…Grumpls don’t take their final form, until they have had their first meal?
(Anyone wanna color this? *hint- create a new layer, set to “multiply”)

@goblintownwtf
“Roadmaps” have become a low-lift method of tricking people into believing a project has “fundamentals”
We need start to build trust through actions. DYOR needs to be based on more than a pictured drawn by a freelancer.
This space deserves more.
Happy Friday
@goblintown
- wanted to share the concept design that was just shipped over to development.
and yeah- as our gobs start to merge into various family friendly properties- they might have to throw on a pair of undies.
Made this print for the
@kingkong45_eth
to give out exclusively at the IRL meetups he is hosting. It is the balance of moving my team’s plans forward while adjusting and leaving room to continually echo the spirit of the community that is making this project so special to me.
Weird to have to say this…but the next
@truth
project…will not look like an unoriginal, unthoughtful
@goblintownwtf
derivative. Back that nonsense at your own risk.
Wish we inspired originality instead of cheap knock-offs…
Stay safe.
Its been a year since the
@secretsociety
began, but for the better part of the prior year I was already drafting the concepts and traits that would become the illuminati nft.
These were the first sketches I showed my cofounders
@ajt
and
@CesarKuriyama
🧵👇
uhm....tears ...my kids are next to me...Im really not sure what just happened- but thank you all! This is overwhelming...thank you
We are about to do an on-chain , random number selection to assign the two 1of1s. The reveal will happen in the next few hours. 👇
We feel so privileged that so many incredible talents joined us for this season of Grumpls. To properly showcase the project and the artists involved we created .
Thank you again to all the creators who joined me on this adventure!
I want to do a little shout out to
@KampKilmer
(Val Kilmer!)— Not only was Val an early supporter of
@goblintown
(yup, bought himself a gob, made a burger, and set a trap!)- but he and the Kamp Kilmer team are doing something really lovely with the cc0 of
@goblintown
.
I was too anxious to watch the reveal most of last night. Woke up this morning to an outpouring of support that has me truly humbled.
Thank you for the trust and beginning this journey with me.
@truth
For anyone interested in participating in my genesis drop on Sunday night:
huge thank you to
@OnlyScottEver
(web),
@NiftyLabs
(contract) , and
@nullsignal
(ambient music- *hint- click the flower)!
Been working through a number of projects in parallel:
-New
@the187
(and the lore that backs them)
-Big
@truth
…other things
-incredible partnerships
-and these community gifts.
Just decided to call it a day on these - a few are going to my team members as a small personal…
Some new
@goblintown
painted gobs-
I have a bunch to giveaway , and I might hold one or two for an auction.
Looking like I’ll mint all painted gobs to a dedicated collection to accompany the physical works.
Also spent a lot of time on the
@knightsofdegen
Degenesis cover…which…
It has been a pleasure master-baitin' with all of you.
Some of you clearly follow directions better than others.
🧵 for those not keepin' up. Don't worry it has pictures, since i now know, most of you gobs don't read.
The next collection (Grumpls!) that we’re building now is merely the next step in this conversation. It is dynamic. It is being created, adjusted, and altered in response to the actions of the community members who are setting their traps right now.
Sorry to pause my drawing for this PSA---Goblintown is a place to let loose…even push boundaries. We joke and are sometimes gross, but there are lines we don’t cross. It is never okay to harass or threaten community members or the team in any way. Ever.
Almost done using up all my canvases- boxes and packing materials just arrived.
I’ll be raffling off quite a few paintings to folks hanging around.
And I’ll throw 1 or two up for auction.
@goblintown
Very excited to announce that
@iPlusQooo
is now officially working with me on
@goblintown
. He has been a staple of amazing talent within the community and working with him on Grumpls has been incredible. I cannot wait for you all to see what he has helped me cook up next week!
We do not hype. We deliver on things that we believe in, when they are ready.
We might not move at the pace you want, but please remember, sometimes- we are just waiting on you (to set a trap).
(illuminary for
@cozomomedici
)
Thanks for joining me!! The demo (by community request ) was a very weird and very
@goblintown
cabbage and naughty faewie. Join me this Tuesday for the next fart class installment.
At night, all grumpls take on a darker, more savage form. Their farts crystalize in the cool night air, imbued with temperamental magic to create a sentient huntin’ twin that can only exist for but a moment. A 🧵 on what
@goblintown
trapped with 2
@McGoblinBurger
's. 👇
Weird few months…
There might be a multiverse living in my head…
If you are into watching an artist potentially come apart at the seams, you have come to the right place, folks!
Had an amazing time with
@fewocious
- letting the paint flow, making new friends and creating some magical derpy characters. Thank you for having the entire
@truth
(
@McGoblinBurger
) team at the event, and allowing my kids to share in this experience with us. Truly magical.
Some
@goblintown
grumpl iterations over the last bunch of months. One on the right was a 16” one..rough print- but wanted to see it at that scale.
The little grey one in front is 4”.
Yeah…that might be a night grumpl photobombing …
What size do you like best? Colors?
This is how
@goblintown
is going to continue to work. We started the conversation, but it’s not a monologue. The community does things - has ideas, asks questions, nudges the gas, or the brakes, or the wheel… and I respond. This is the expectation we’ve set since the beginning.
I’ve always loved designer vinyl- part nostalgic toy, part art object . I aim to make
@goblintown
a household brand- and I think the grumpl is a fun entry point for a wider audience to access the world we are building . Tiny🧵👇
The prosthetics shop. There isn’t much in the way of
@goblintown
fashion, but when Gromblar the ogre and Janis the orc get bored and rip off everyone’s ears, applying ornamental substitutes has become a lucrative business.
If only the goblins didn’t pay in cabbage…
And the…
Happy (gob)Fog Friday- This fella was the result of a brainstorm session with my fog family yesterday. So much fun to work with this little group of passionate collectors to shape a future drop that I find exciting and they find value in.
I arrived in Singapore for the
@goblintown
event, feeling very tired after an absolutely crazy 5 or 6 years - years filled with some of the best moments, but also some of the most difficult in my life.
During the last few days, my family, the
@truth
team, and I have been…
Next drop Today!
Giving away 2 Amuck burn tokens to one person today- (enough to redeem one of today's art drops)
Like, RT, Tag some people, shoulder rub, jazz hands, walk in a circle, call your mom and say "I can rollerblade backwards now"---
Some teams would work hard to bring unity between their communities.
We
@truth
believe it’s better to write those tensions into our lore and make the most of every situation.
Was feeling down (anxious Sunday vibes) and thought others could use a little pick-me-up.
5 of these little guys painted and given away to new homes.
Thx for all the interest! Until next time. GN
All artists involved will receive royalties on the entire project - not just on their own work. Each artist has also been gifted a goblin, to officially bring them into the
@goblintown
family.
Working with
@iPlusQooo
to create the craziness revealing tonight was insane fun- but has anyone seen the 1:1 brought to 3D life by
@nickydooodles2
?!?! A little glimpse into something bigger…
I am humbled & inspired by the projects & artists in the web3 space. Had to share this incredible piece that
@process_grey
created to honor me. Love the goblins so much that I adopted the most mischievous one for
@KampKilmer
& he’s an artist too!
@goblintown
#collaboration
Bad news
@goblintown
- I sent my goblin paintings to miami for art Basel, but they never got there.
@ajt
just got an empty box with this note in it. WTF…
I rarely love things I make...but I continue to love this character design . It's me, the team and community that helped make this project special , on a plate.
If
@goblintown
ever becomes a movie or a series , I would hope it could be this epic, colorful and irreverent.
Long…
I want to post something thoughtful...but right now...just no words.
Thank you all so much.
Whoever now owns "Age"- please drop me a dm so I can thank you in person.
This Friday I will open a claim for the piece Amuck in my new Ink (editions) collection.
Amuck will be the “currency” for this collection.
Holders of Fog will be able to claim some tokens for free. Wallet snapshot tomorrow night.
Please review the graphic for details.
