As a 3D Designer and Generative Artist, I collaborated with King Saladeen to bring his iconic character “JP the Money Bear” into a large-scale digital collection titled “The JP Effect.” The project extended Saladeen’s artistic legacy into the Web3 space through a collection of over 1,300 generative PFPs, blending fine art and technology to celebrate creativity, individuality, and cultural influence.

Following the same 3D modeling, texturing, and generative production workflow developed for the Gift Goat project, I recreated Saladeen’s hand-painted aesthetic in a fully digital environment. Each piece was designed in Blender 3D and refined through the Adobe Creative Suite, ensuring consistency, color fidelity, and variation across all editions.

In addition to the main collection, I produced a series of “honorary” 1-of-1 artworks celebrating notable figures including Kenya Barris, Arut, DJ Skee, Jalen Hurts, Micah Parsons, Poo Bear, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Styles P — expanding the cultural reach of the project and reinforcing its message of empowerment through art.

This collaboration merged traditional creativity, digital innovation, and community-driven storytelling, marking a milestone in King Saladeen’s evolution within the NFT and generative art space.
