Smell the (May) Flowers

Hi collectors,

We wanted to thank everyone for an amazing April. We have broken our all-time record of editions collected!!! We are so excited to follow up after with a very special 11th edition. Our edition for May is made in dedication to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. An organization that has been leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases since 1962.

🎗️ St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Highlight

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is an institution dedicated to understanding, treating, and defeating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Every patient and their family never receive any bill, allowing them focus solely on the healing process. Since 1962, their researchers and doctors have worked to turn laboratory breakthroughs into lifesaving treatments for children. We’re honored to bring awareness to St. Jude and their mission: Finding cures. Saving children.®

In 2020, they joined the onchain community and started accepting crypto donations, raising over $6,500,000 so far—enough to fund more than 400 major surgical procedures or provide over 12,000 hours of physical therapy. They'll also feature artwork from their talented patient artists as digital collectibles in an upcoming release in 2025—offering the community a heartfelt way to support and connect.

🎌 Hiroko Highlight

Hiroko is an illustrator based in Tokyo, Japan, known for her dreamy, pastel-hued artwork that blends nostalgic retro motifs with delicate floral elements. After graduating from Tokyo Zokei University with a degree in design, she began her career as an original artist at a game company. Though she paused her illustration work to raise her child, Hiroko rekindled her passion in 2019 and has since built a vibrant career spanning commercial illustration, game art, and music video visuals. 

Heavily influenced by anime, manga, and artists like Meyoco, Hiroko’s unique style continues to captivate audiences across creative industries. Her recent work includes projects like the OPA 2025 New Life campaign, Charm Stick Gel’s 2025 Spring/Summer line, Hololive TCG, and illustrations for the magazine Petit Nurse. She’s also contributed to Adobe’s official content and created artwork for many Vtubers and musicians!
