Tooniverse Cartel - Genesis Collection - 2022
Descriptión
Tooniverse Cartel is the limited Genesis collection of Tooniverse Club®. One hundred 1/1 characters created by Cae González, the Toons come from a screen print made ten years ago in Mexico City that, unplanned, constitutes the basis on which this significant web3 brand and studio project is built.
The artist has an extensive career in illustration, design, and digital arts. His work speaks with irony, humor, and pop culture. Latin American mysticism and the aesthetics of death worship have significantly influenced his last eleven years of life in Mexico.
This limited collection is Tooniverse's launch platform, and the first Tooners to join and show their support will always be the most rewarded. Stay tuned for the upcoming collections, merch, exhibitions, and all the fun coming our way.
This is not built overnight, so we are happy to have formed a solid team to achieve our goals while working hard and having fun.

We come from another time, 10 years ago, to be specific, and we are now embarking on a transcendental journey from print to our own Tooniverse in the blockchain. Our collection will have 100 unique and mischievous characters, each with a story.

First Generative Collection of Tooniverse Club.
Toonerz - First Generative Collection - 2023
Description
Toonerz is a collection of NFTs set to launch in 2023 as the new digital asset of Tooniverse Club®. It constitutes the first generative collection and comprises four unique and fascinating races: humans, undead, monkeys, and zombies, each possessing unique traits and characteristics that set them apart and add value to each piece. Each Toonerz race lives in its territory within a shared world of dreams and chaos known as Toon Valley, making its environment as crucial as its appearance. In summary, Toonerz is an NFT collection that distinguishes itself by focusing on the design and illustration of unusual traits. Each race, through its characteristics and attributes, ensures that each NFT is exclusive and valuable, making Toonerz an exciting and attractive proposition for collectors and fans of art.
Our holders will have benefits such as free NFT claims, access to future collections, discounts on purchases of merch collections, access to exclusive products, and the opportunity to acquire limited edition prints. These incentives make the display more attractive to lovers of digital art and pop culture.
Art
What makes Toonerz a unique collection is the countless hours our artist, supported by their team, has dedicated to conceptualizing and creating each race, ensuring each has its own personality and visual style. This attention to detail is reflected in the diversity and richness of the traits that make each character, making each NFT unique and desirable. Each race has its characteristics, which provide an additional dimension to the collection and encourage an emotional connection between collectors and their NFTs.
Storytelling
Imagine a valley surrounded by mountains and nature with the most advanced technology. Here live the Toonerz (hence the name)—four races with different lifestyles.
We start with the HumanZ. According to them, they are the most civilized (yeah). They are ecologists (obviously), and at the same time, they take advantage of all the benefits of technology. In their moments of enlightenment, they have tried to relate to the other races of Toon Valley, but without much success (tear).
We also have the MonkeyZ. They live the best and generate the most envy among races (just kidding, not kidding). They have the best view of the valley. Lush trees and vines surround them. And let's not forget "Disco Jungle": The place to dance and have fun, where all the ToonerZ wants to go. It is a too cool and exclusive jungle. It should be noted that only those with VIP invitations from a Monkey can enter here (we are still trying to hack this system).
In another part of the valley live the ZombieZ. They prefer to live on the beach because they like to chill and surf the sea waves. They are not like any fierce zombie. No. The beach atmosphere made them fun, playful, and a little clumsy. Besides vibrating high and sending sound energy to the universe, they enjoy surfing their waves with great enthusiasm and little success. But that's how they are happy.
Finally, there is the DeadZ. They live in the cemetery (duh), and the truth, though it hurts, is that they are the true sages of Toon Valley. They have a deep knowledge of life and death. They can generate connections to guide those in need but prefer to stay away (we can't blame them) from the other races and spend their time among the graves and the underworld.
How did they become friends?
We owe it all to the MonkeyZ. One day after much thinking, they organized a FiesTOON in "Disco Jungle" and invited all the races of Toon Valley. A night of unity, fun, art, creativity, and dance.
It was challenging. As expected, the HumanZ resisted going at first, but in the end, they were excited and even drew figures on the ground with fluorescent paint, creating an effect that glowed in the dark. The ZombieZ said yes right away. They were delighted to be able to socialize. They felt more included than ever. As for the DeadZ, they were quick for a second and, although disoriented by the music and lights, gave it their all on the dance floor.
The night they were continued with music, dance, and laughter. The ToonerZ came together as one community, sharing their love for creativity and fun. Finally, the party ended, and the friends said goodbye, promising to make FiesTOON an annual tradition and continue to be more united in Toon Valley to make it a (much) cooler and more fun place.
Races
Humanz
In Toon Valley, there is a race known as HumanZ, who consider themselves the most cultured and refined of all the valley's inhabitants. They are a mix of hipsters and futurists, lovers of nature but not content with just enjoying it, as they also want to control and dominate it with their advanced technology. Their passion for urban art sets them apart from the other races in Toon Valley. Every wall in the suburbs where they live is a work of art, a canvas for artists to express their creativity. And, although they can be a bit pretentious at times, their passion for art and technology makes them a fun and unique community in the valley. You never know what new work of art they might surprise you with!
Although HumanZ is known for being "the most sociable,” they did not accept being associated with the other races in the valley, which we believe was due to fear. One day, while somebody gathered for their usual urban art session, a group of MonkeyZ stormed into the square and started causing trouble. The HumanZ, who had never interacted with other races before, didn't know what to do. One of them decided to call the police, but no one answered (typical). In desperation, a brave HumanZ confronted the MonkeyZ and used their urban art as a weapon. To everyone's surprise, the MonkeyZ were amazed and stopped causing problems.
From that day on, the HumanZ realized that, despite their differences, all the valley's inhabitants had something unique to offer. They and they began to mix with the other races of the valley and discovered that diversity is what makes Toon Valley so unique.
Deadz
The DeadZ race is among the oldest and most mysterious in Toon Valley. These skeletons passed on to another life and have returned to Earth as guardians of the cemetery. The DeadZ have a deep wisdom of life and death and have learned to accept the passage of time and the transition into the unknown. They are wise and reserved beings who prefer to stay away from other races, living underground in the cemetery they guard. They have a particular appetite for tacos and take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy this delicacy when it presents itself.
The DeadZ can communicate with spirits and beings from beyond. Many consider them intermediaries between the world of the living and the dead. In addition to their wisdom, the DeadZ are known for their ability to play musical instruments and their love for the arts, especially poetry, and prose.
Despite their solitary nature, the DeadZ often come out on the Day of the Dead to share their knowledge with the other races of Toon Valley. On this holiday, the DeadZ share their experiences about life and death. One day, a HumanZ approached them seeking advice on the afterlife. The DeadZ replied, "We can't tell you much about that, friend. After all, we're dead and still here."
Monkeyz
The kings of the jungle in Toon Valley, MonkeyZ, are a unique and fun race. Their love for partying, dancing, and jokes is contagious. No one doesn’t enjoy their company, but. be careful! If you ever have the opportunity to visit their territory, you must be prepared for some severe pranks. No one is safe from their wit. They are also experts in parkour, which means they can easily escape any tricky situation.
Despite their playful attitude, MonkeyZ is very intelligent. They know how to build tools and create solutions for any problem. They are very territorial, protecting their home and not liking visitors. They are a truly unique and fun race! Their ability to think outside the box and their brilliance are admirable.
One night, the MonkeyZ decided to play a prank on the ZombieZ. They dressed as zombies and crawled along the beach, making strange noises. The ZombieZ were so scared that several of them passed out, and the MonkeyZ couldn't stop laughing and had to run to avoid being caught, leaving invitations to the FiesTOON, the BIG event, in their wake.
If you ever come across an invitation to "Disco Jungle,” don't hesitate to accept it. It’s sure to be great!
Zombiez
On the outskirts of Toon Valley, Toon Beach is home to the most relaxed and vibrant race, the ZombieZ! These clumsy and slow beings live by the sea, next to the jungle, enjoying the sea breeze and perfect waves for surfing. Their lifestyle is relatively peaceful, but there's something they can't help: their strange smell. Don't worry, their energy will make you forget any unpleasant odor.
If you ever come across a ZombieZ on the beach, don't be surprised if they vibrate with such a high frequency that you feel like you're at a Toon Marley concert. These beings are always in tune with nature, making them the best surfing companions. It's hard to imagine they can ride waves with their decomposing limbs, but they do it with the same grace and style. They can be clumsy and fall off the board sometimes, but their free spirit and love for the sea make them incomparable.
Warning! Stay close to a ZombieZ if you want to avoid becoming part of their menu because although their lifestyle is hippie (peace & love), the smell of fresh brains also makes them vibrate, but their stomachs!
