Steve Aoki is no stranger to the Metaverse. From his genesis NFT collection \u2018Dream Catcher\u2019<\/em> in 2021 to launching his NFT membership community A0K1VERSE shortly after, and now collaborating with Neon Future and Heavy Metal, Aoki is one of the most imaginative voices in the metaverse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing to break boundaries and merge the physical and digital worlds, Aoki is bringing the physical to the digital. Back in May 2022, the NFT creative graced the cover of fantasy and science fiction magazine Heavy Metal<\/em>. You can now own this iconic artwork for yourself, with 777 cover-art-inspired NFTs launching as an NFT collection.\u00a0<\/span>You do not want to miss this drop. The collection brings together art by the iconic Greg Hildebrandt and characters from the critically acclaimed Neon Future<\/em> comic book, published by Tom Bilyeu\u2019s \u2018Impact Theory\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allowlist for the NFTs will open up on August 29th at 9AM \u2013 2PM PST for 1 SOL<\/strong> to the Oddkey, A0K1VERSE, Heavy Metal and Impact Theory communities. Public sale begins on August 29th at 2PM PST for 1.5 SOL.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Neon Future x Heavy Metal NFT by Greg Hildebrandt<\/span><\/h2>\n
This much anticipated NFT is Steve Aoki\u2019s first collection to launch on Oddkey. Featuring a limited edition version of Heavy Metal Magazine\u2019s May 2022 cover, the NFTs are illustrated by Greg Hildebrandt. You likely know Hildebrandt for his legendary 1977 Star Wars poster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking on the collaboration, Matthew Medney \u2013 CEO of Heavy Metal Magazine \u2013 had this to say:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
\u201cThe blend of Heavy Metal & Neon Future through the lens of Greg Hildebrandt is nothing short of spectacular. Sprinkle in the iconic Todd McFarlane and his vision of art and we have something memorable for the fans. This collaboration touches on over 70 years of science fiction, fantasy & horror moments.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This collection is not Hildrebrandt\u2019s first NFT. The legendary poster artist has previously created in Web3, with his project *Rule the Mob.<\/em> Hildebrandt\u2019s NFT project is a blockchain trading card game created in collaboration with Artist Fund and Heavy Metal Magazine.<\/span><\/p>\n*
Signed NFTs by Steve Aoki, Greg Hildebrandt, and Tom Bilyeu<\/span><\/h2>\n
Amongst the 777-piece NFT collection there will be hand-drawn one-of-one digital signatures \u2013 43 with Aoki\u2019s signature, 43 with Greg Hildebrandt\u2019s signature, and 43 with Impact Theory founder Tom Bilyeu. If you are extremely lucky you could mint one of the 7 which contain signatures from all three men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
However, whether you have an NFT with or without a signature will remain a mystery until post-mint. Dropping in a \u2018blind-box\u2019 fashion, you mint without knowing what you will receive, and only after this process will you discover if you have been lucky enough to mint a signed NFT. By dropping the NFTs in this way this also allows the community to determine which piece is the most valuable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
