FAQ

Why Hippos?

I’ve been working as a teacher, and illustrating in my spare time. As I was finishing teaching the children about WILD animals, the idea struck me about Hippos. I read a story about a hippo with an aversion to bathing. Well that stinky little hippo caught my attention and I thought why not a collection of Hippos. After A LOT of trials and sketching I found the well of inspiration and so ‘the Hippos’ was born. A collection of  10k algorithmically generated attitude filled hippos. This collection has been minted as NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain.

WHAT DO I GET?

With purchase of your Hippos you will unlock the full body view and the following files:
