Erasme Legacy NFTs: Redefining the fatness

Our story

You may ask yourself: How did they manage to create so nice-looking characters using so few pixels?

It's a long story from 18 years ago... it begins when we were in high school

It all started with a bad black and white photocopy of an Erasme painting that a teacher gave to the class. It was a really bad copy. The contrast was awful and it had dirty photocopier lines. We found it really funny, it looked like his arms where directly attached to his big belly! With very bad drawing skills, we reproduced it everywhere: on our notebook's margins, on our backpacks, on the chalk board when the teacher wasn't looking. Everyone in the class loved it as it was so funny and friendly looking. They started to draw Erasme everywhere!

A few weeks later, the same teacher gave the class another very bad photocopy of a painting! This time it was a Voltaire painting. Voltaire was born, with the same minimalist badly hand-drawn style! It was so fun to draw them than everyone did it! Voltaire and Erasme quickly became a meme in our class, then in our school, before the word was invented.

We used them everywhere: in our paintings in art class, in our essays in English class, as the main characters in personal writing projects, as our avatar in MSN messenger!

Each time we came across a philosopher's or scholar's painting, we imagine how it would look like as a bad photocopy, and created new characters: Thomas More, Guillaume Budé, Descartes, and more!

Naturally, when we learned to code a few years later, we used them as characters in a small videogame! That's when they were designed as you know them!

Since then, they were still used now and then in various projects, and kept fond memory about them. We knew that one day Erasme, Voltaire and friends will be part of something bigger!

The story would have ended here, but an unexpected event changed everything!

Fast forward to 2021: We discovered the wonderful world of the NFTs. We immediately thought about Erasme and Voltaire, and how nice would it be to let live forever in the blockchain!

We learned, learned, and learned more about the cryptocurrencies, the NFTs and the blockchains! And we created the Erasme Legacy NFTs to share our love of Erasme and Voltaire with the whole world! We are so grateful that a lot of people love them!

During all this time, the BULO was there, but we can't tell anything about it for now.

Is there a game ?

Not for now, unfortunately!

We have lots of ideas to create a game involving these rare Erasme and Voltaire NFTs.But there is no game for now, and no planning to actually develop a game. I know, it's sad. Here are more Erasme NFT to ease the pain!
