  • no time, no place

  • memories but fractionalized, framed and distorted.

  • a lone eyeball, a doorway and an entrance to the night sky.

  • a goddess but not as we remember her.

  • nostalgia, of course, but trapped in a window...

FAQs

  • Season One of avril15 is 150 NFT’s and is sold out. If we can maintain the quality, we are looking to increase the total amount per season but only if there is no loss of quality!

  • All of the art is hand drawn the old fashioned way using brush and ink. It’s scanned, coloured and minted. Each season of avril15 will have a strong theme as part of an overarching journey. We hope that you will be able to see an avril15.eth piece and know which season it belongs to just by the visual identity! We consider avril15.eth to be generative although leaning a lot more into the 1:1 space. Assets will be reused sparingly, not just recoloured and reused. There will be a generative element to this, but nothing like a 10k PFP collection.

  • Tim is an illustrator living in Brighton and has been professionally creating for over 10 years. Having worked with clients such as Nike, Penguin, Apple, New York Times, HMV, Lucasfilm, Red Bull amongst a variety of other huge names, Tim is hoping to bring real high level quality to a crowded NFT space. Personally Tim is a lover of electronic, IDM, lo-fi beats, house, running, podcasts, plants, trying to keep his two toddlers alive. Twitter / Website

  • Despite having zero art ability, Nathan has a long history of squinting at code and creating communities. If Tim is the brains, Nathan is the spine. He’s been best friends with Tim for over twenty years through adolescence, World of Warcraft and plenty of time in the pub. Personally Nathan loves his wife, his daughter and his dog Pete. Listens to a lot of music, watches a lot of films and dies a lot in Dark Souls. Personal Links

  • Well, for the art. We think that's where the value lies and that we're making a collection that looks awesome, we're trying to make an awesome community to go with it too that hopefully you enjoy being a part of. As we grow we hope to introduce more value and other benefits but for now that's what we can offer you.

  • Season Two will launch at 0.15 ETH with a higher price point for the 1:1 pieces. Prices are planned to slowly increase as each season launches.

  • We will be launching Season Two before the leaves fall from the trees 2022 on the Ethereum blockchain on Opensea. There will be a week long preallocation process to be detailed nearer the time.

  • We are not using a whitelist for this project. We are adults with commitments and we want there to be no grind, no overhyping and no urgency. We will be giving away 1 x pre allocation slot every day until launch on Discord, alongside a handful on Twitter. When the time comes, if you choose not to use your preallocation it will release an avril15 to the general public sale.

  • You have our word we are in this for the long haul. We aren't rushing or overpromising. We've already planned S3. We want this project to grow organically. We want avril15 to stand tall in a space with a real lack of quality.
