Meet the artist behind WaruPan

Don't be disarmed by his cute looks; WaruPan is meaner than your average bear. He believes in instant karma and pet peeves include stupidity and being annoyed. More so he is a representation of our inner most desires which we wish we could act out as he doesn't abide by societies  standards and rules.

That's how the artists describes his main character which is available on Opensea but we are here to chat about Buu who is created on WAX .

Hey

Hi

So let get into it how did you get discover NFTs?

A Family member and a friend brought it to my attention in August 2021

Why did you choose WAX for your project ?

Wanted to have different entry points for Pabanda. Everything on Eth seems to be tied to WaruPan, Wax allows Buu the character to build away and apart from WaruPan.

What is the idea behind your project?

Pabanda(Buu, WaruPan) is actually not a project, it is a Brand. Pabanda is a Brand that sells NFTs. The Brand has clothing, comics, music and coming very soon an animated series on eth/wax and a game on wax.

When did launch?

Launched on Wax in January 2022

How many NFTs have you dropped so far?

8 on wax.

What was the first one you dropped?

The Original Buu.

How did the community react?

The wax community is probably the best at receiving new artist. It felt like an album launch party.

What is the process of making your NFTs?

The process of making our NFTs starts with a conceptualizing a mental image of Waru mixed with something that has inspired or had an impact on our lives. Then from a sketch using different visual ideas and combining them to create a finalized product. So each piece is very special to us in an unique way.

What programs you use for creation?

The programs used vary depending on what we are trying to achieve . Procreate , illustrator , Final Cut pro/Premiere pro.

How long this each NFT take to create?

What is your favorite NFT you have made? Why ?

This is hard. I feel the music Video/Movie I have on OS is probably my favorite. It was a complete team effort using all talents from Music to Art.

Have you done any collabs?

Quite a few.

Who would be your dream collab?

Kaws and Nike

Are you a collector of NFTs?

Yes. I might have collected too much.

Who is your favorite NFT artist?

Hmmm I do not have one. I cannot separate the artist from the art anymore since joining and I love so many people in the space.

What has been the best part of doing your project?

The relationships I have developed across the globe.

What has been the hardest part?

Staying your course and not rushing. The mind goes crazy with Ideas and seeing people execute what you thought of sometimes forces your hand.

What does your family think of your project?

They love the brand, They do not know what to think of NFTs.

Have you introduced anyone to WAX?

Quite a few.

Do you land on uplift? If so where is it

I do but I do not know where it is lol.

What you like to do to unwind?

Make music and play Basketball.

Tell us something random about you?

I get anxiety speaking about my own Brand.

Where is the best place to keep up with the project?
