Peaceful Groupies is a collection of 10,000 characters released on Ethereum in September 2021. YON drew every trait by hand, and code assembled them into ten thousand individual groupies, each built from nine layers: background, skin, eyes, mouth, clothes, chain, hat, strain and head space.
The idea was that a collection of ten thousand could be an artwork in itself, and that a groupie should be recognisable from its silhouette alone.
The collection is CC0 and was released under PEACEVOID, the studio and label YON built around it. The groupies became the cast of everything that followed: editions, generative works, animated portraits and paintings.
