The Monsters collection will consist of 100 unique 1 of 1 hand-drawn 3 frame Monsters. At the occasion of this auction you’ll be able to discover a new Monster, The Specter. Number 52 of the to be 100.


This series has the particularity of providing an interactive and evolutive collection the collector can fully be part of! The collector of Des Lucréce’s work also gets to be part of the artistic process using the systems of evolution the collection offers through the use of The Fusion Chamber, enabling its holder to fuse 2 DesMonster NFT. The collector can request specific attributes from each monster to influence the outcome. The artist will, of course, use his artistic judgment to guide you to the best potential outcome.


Evolutions will work a bit differently. Random Evolution Stone drops will occur at the end of the series. These stones will have elemental properties that change the background and monster to fit the corresponding elemental property such as Fire, Electric, Psychic, Water, and Air.

Those innovative mechanisms offer an interesting long term perspective to this project and imbricate within the artistic universe of Des Lucréce smoothly while leveraging creative ideas about the artist to collector relationship.

Young emerging Norwegian-born Vietnamese artist living and working in the US, Des Lucréce uses a combination of procreate, photoshop, and after effects to produce his 3 frame Gif animation reminding us of a flip book full of sketches featuring his signature intertwining lines, which remind us of the various inspiration he taps into like other artists like Basquiat, Keith Haring, Maki Haku, Futura 2000, and Saul Bass as well as reference from his personal life.


The artist, originally native to the Tezos ecosystem, has gained an exponential popularity in just the span of a few years. This success draws from his mastery of the code of the ecosystem, leveraging innovatively notion of game theory, and tokenomics to put his collector in constant philosophical dilemma. He then branched out to other chains and started minting with great success on the ethereum blockchain. Among his collectors we can find figures of the space well known for their taste such as Cozomo de Medici, Kevin Rose, Mike Shinoda and Mooncat2878 to name only a few.
