We’ve been busy! 🐨
If you haven’t been following the @BarelyBearz journey so far, here’s your cheat sheet. 👇
Every Bear has a story. Every trait leaves a clue. 🐨
And around here, nothing is added without a reason.
Recently, the community unlocked several new traits, including four distinctly Aussie additions. The Zoo is evolving.
Curious what’s been uncovered? The website holds a few answers. For now.
But keep your eyes open, Bearz. More traits are waiting to be unlocked, and those who help reveal them will secure a GTD Spot for mint.
Consider this your warning. The Keeper doesn’t leave the door unlocked forever. 👀
Not Bearish
An all time favorite and challenge. That was not an easy portrait to paint on a sneaker

The Keeper is busy 🔨
I know you want the Zoo gates open. I hear you rattling them every night. But nothing opens until every enclosure is right.
Until then, the Bearz havent been idle. 1 month ago we let them loose on Giphy. 35 GIFs later...
Over 100 MILLION views 🐨
Working on my book atm, covering the first 20 years of my art career.
Thought I'd share just a couple of my favorite toy customs.
Enjoy!
As an artist, I’ve always believed there’s more to building a brand than just making something that looks good.
That’s how I’m approaching @BarelyBearz. Not just creating a cute pixelated PFP, but building a brand with its own identity, personality and culture.
Launching our Giphy 4 weeks ago was one small part of that.
35 GIFs. 100M+ views. 🤯
I knew we had something with our aesthetic and branding, but even I didn’t expect this.
Now we keep building. Keep creating. Keep pushing.
Are you following along yet? 🐨
Who wants early access?
There will be prizes, giveaways and GTD spots up for grabs 🐨
RUN!
If you see this, its time to give @BarelyBearz a follow!
Game out very soon 👀
A pre 7am welcome to Monday!
Going to be a huge week.
I'm jealous I'm not in Marfa, but next year after we launch @BarelyBearz let's revisit!
Let's get busy
Have the best time legends!
Enjoy @marka_eth @backseats_eth and of course I know you're going to be there @GTSewell
The Giphy strategy for @BarelyBearz was aggressive
Goal 1 - 500k week 1 ✅
Goal 2 - 2m week 2 ✅
Goal 3 - Most aggressive, 10m first month...
Then day 16 this GIF alone did 9.8m views.
We're cooking 🐨
After revoking all my contracts on Blur I had a stroll through my wallet and found some hitters I had forgotten about. Projects that no longer exist, I think, but whose art I still really enjoy. Who else has some of these?
