I was the artist and creator behind Pudgy Penguins, and I helped turn a simple penguin character from a crypto art project to a cultural phenomenon. Eventually, $PENGU itself reached a multi-billion-dollar market cap. I got to watch something I drew grow from essentially nothing into a character millions of people recognize. That experience taught me a lot about what makes a character stick. Nowadays, there is no passion in art projects and characters are created for quick pump and dumps. Now that Pudgy has become a self sustaining legend and I have more free time, I wanted to go back to the roots and create something new again. Something that represents the one thing everyone in this market is here to see - GROWTH. So I created Gro. 🌱 Gro is a little green leaf who does exactly what his name says. Markets change. Seasons change. People sell, people buy. Gro doesn’t care... Plant him in the dirt and he’ll find the sunlight. Cut him back and he’ll sprout again. Give him time and those tiny leaves become something much bigger. I’ve already watched one character I created grow from a drawing into a global brand. Now I get to plant something new and watch it happen all over again. Except this time, growing is the entire point. From a seed comes a sprout. From a sprout comes a leaf. And from a leaf comes Gro. It's time for all of us to $GRO into the biggest community in crypto and kickstart the next bullrun!
