Jungle Freaks is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection of 100% hand-drawn freaks by the Hustler magazine cartoonist George Trosley.  ^[1][9]

The collection was sold out in 5 minutes after the official release.

Overview

Jungle Freaks is a collection of 100% hand-drawn freaks on the Ethereum blockchain. Every Freak and trait has been 100% hand-drawn in Trosley's studio (with no assistance from artificial intelligence or computers). There are more than 200 traits featured in the collection.^[1]

Once sketched, the trait was inked and then colored with markers, color pencils, etc. The physical pieces were then scanned, white space removed, and formatting optimized.  ^[1]

10,000 Zombies and Gorillas in total were sold at 0.07 ETH. The price did not increase/decrease during the course of the sale to remain fair. There was a whitelist available for early supporters before the main sale.

The collection was released on October 16, 2021, and sold out in 5 minutes.

The Jungle Freaks Ecosystem's token is called $JUNGLE. When staked into the staking contract, the Genesis Jungle Freaks Collection and the JF Legendary Vault assets will generate $JUNGLE. Owning and staking a Genesis Jungle Freaks Collection NFT and/or JF Legendary Vault NFT is now the ONLY method to earn $JUNGLE.
