Pop Booty’s Statement
A Roadmap is not enough for us.

Abstract. Pop Booty by Pop Studios emerges as a response to the vision that treats NFTs’ art as a satire without any creativity, inspired by Pop Art, since we believe its ideals can help us overcome this criticism. We want to build an art community, able to grow through art contests, grants and educational content. The voice of our hodlers will be a guide for us, rewarded by airdrops and whitelist of future collections by our studio. We are going to expand our business horizons by incorporating new techniques and inspirations but without abandoning the versatility that allows us to move from the virtual to the analog world, through street art, physical posters and also by working on Pop Studios’ merchandise.

Pop Studios emerges as a response, a response to the vision that treats current digital art as a satire without any creativity. For us, generative art is the maximum expression of serial art, which the Pop Art movement spread. Since Pop Art was able to make it through similar criticism, we are interested in bringing the past back to the future on Solana NFTs.
From Pop Studios we want to bring to the community an artistic and educational proposal, rooted in the principles and historical values of the Pop Art movement, and bringing our vision of it closer to people who are willing to understand it.
Our intention is to criticize today’s popular culture from a perspective that understands us not apart from it, but instead, as part of it, providing our interpretation from a historical, artistic and commercial point of view.
Just as Pop Art was inspired by the culture, advertising and icons of its time, our intention is to represent an iconic element of our culture. We thought about the idols, but in this time, like Warhol said, everyone is world-famous for fifteen minutes, so we decided to go with an abstraction of what an icon of our culture is.
Booty is a representation of the sexualization that the media uses in order to sell products in our time. Its figure has a lead role in our society, it fills pockets and that is why it is such an exploited resource. Inspired by the criticisms made by Pop Art, from Pop Studios, we want to highlight the almost divine role that is given to it, not only represent it as one more of the everyday elements used in advertising, but also become aware of our role as participants in this Pop Booty society.
We will build a community in which whoever is interested can be part of it, finding on Pop Booty a good balance between supply and price, being both affordable and scarce. We want Pop Booty to be a link between a group of people with the same ideas about NFTs and art, and build together something bigger, through different means like:


ENCOURAGE
What would be the use of bringing people together with the same ideas if at the end of the day we don’t jump into action? We want to encourage an artistic movement, for example, there will be art contests for the whole Solana community and some exclusive for our hodlers, with different prizes such as NFTs, crypto, art supplies, drawing tablets and more. In this way we want to approach artists who are just starting and cannot exploit all their potential due to the lack of tools.
ART GRANTS
One of our goals is to give hodlers tools to fight against the unfair view digital art and NFTs have. We want to create a community able to show in public the beautiful things this movement has to offer. We will provide grants to our hodlers to give them the possibility to grow as artists. More details coming soon.
SPREAD ART INFORMATION
We can’t bring people together with our ideas if we don’t first explain where they come from, the informative work about art is both a distinctive and necessary aspect of Pop Booty. To do this we have written Medium articles and will continue to do so in the future, talking about art and the impact it has on our daily lives. We also explain the cultural meaning that we attribute to some of our traits and which relationship they have with Pop Art.

Revisiting the famous Marilyn Diptychs, it was impossible not to notice the aesthetic and conceptual similarity with the NFT collections that we see everyday in the ecosystem.
The repetition of the same character, with slight changes in its composition through a large work divided into individual paintings, immediately resonates with the digital art movement present in our culture in ways that are both fascinating and controversial.
Since its birth around the 50s, Pop Art was transgressive and avant-garde as well as simple and popular, without neglecting an impressive narrative hidden behind its colorful designs. Richard Hamilton defines Pop Art as “Popular, transient, expendable, low-cost, mass-produced, young, witty, sexy, gimmicky, glamorous, and big business”.
Pop Art is inspired by the daily life of families immersed in a consumer culture, by advertising graphic design, magazines and comics and takes as its main figure the elements that people can find in their own homes, like a bottle of Coca-Cola, a can of Campbell’s soup or a rockstar. An art “ready to sell” that reflected the reality of that time, striking and controversial at first sight, but with a very complex narrative behind it, that talks about consumer culture and its superficiality from the perspective of artists who are also immersed and take part of it.
Inspired by the world of Andy Warhol, Marjorie Strider and other referents of the Pop Art movement, our intention it’s to wrap femininity, beauty, history and mathematics in our canvases.

OUR IDENTITY
Through a familiar aesthetic to everyone such as Pop Art, we want to incorporate into today’s debate the values that this movement raised in its time. It is our idea to continue with this line of action towards future projects of a similar character, easily recognizable and identifiable to Pop Studios.
NEW INSPIRATIONS
Despite being inspired by Andy Warhol’s Pop Art, our idea is not to only stay in this controversial and iconic phase. After a future collection inspired by Marjorie Strider and Roy Lichtenstein, we will incorporate new work techniques and inspirations, such as photography and collage for another NFT collection inspired by Richard Hamilton and artworks such as “Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?”.


Pop Booty is Pop Studios’ first NFT project. We took inspiration from the well known Andy Warhol’s work and reinterpreted it in the current technological context. We believe in the abilities of any person to be an artist, that is why we want Pop Booty to be the beginning not of a collection, but of a movement that invites whoever feels free to be part of it.
LETS BUILD THIS TOGETHER
We want to build the Pop community with you. We will use different tools to provide decision power. For example, design-a-trait art contests, polls, letting you decide and propose who we collab with, and so on, apart from taking into consideration any criticism.
Our most active users, those profiles that we always see on our chat, those people with whom we manage to have a deeper relationship than with most users and those who show us their support by boosting our Discord server, will be rewarded with the OG role. Such role will grant you access to an exclusive Discord channel where you can talk to us more directly and help us with certain decisions in the course of Pop Booty. To reward your effort, we will make exclusive giveaways and your word will be taken more seriously by us.
Being part of the Pop Booty community means being part of something bigger. Pop Studios will continue working on different NFT projects that embrace our vision, as well as working on different areas to expand our business horizons, where hodlers’ voice will be heard and will be reflected in our work. You are our guiding light.

8BIT BOOTY AIRDROP
Something left on Pop Booty is the incorporation of elements related to video games, since their influence is really important in our current Pop culture. That’s how we decided to created a spin-off collection of Pop Booty, “8Bit Booty”, a way to reward all of our active members, but not only through roles and recognition. Those users with enthusiasm and desire to have fun in our community can be part of our games, and anyone who wins one of our mini-games will get an 8Bit Booty airdropped.



LOLLIPOPS AIRDROP
Every Pop Booty Hodler will get airdropped one NFT from our future collection, “Lollipops”, inspired by Marjorie Strider and Roy Lichtenstein. With this collection, we’re looking forward to broad our community horizons and position it as one of the leading communities in the Solana NFT space.



In our goal of vindicating the world of NFTs among art communities we see the need to add real-world elements that show how cool the digital world is to people who are not entirely familiar with the subject.
Pop Studios’ projects are very versatile, we want them to be reflected on the walls of cities and homes. Paintings, street art, raffles of tools to make art, supporting artists who are just starting their career and possible real life events, are part of the ideas that we will carry out to attract people who do not have a clear idea about why they would buy a NFT to Pop Studios projects, we want to become the first NFT for many people who previously had no contact with this technology, to be a bridge to future NFT collectors through the art and values of our group.
We want to transcend the barrier of the NFT community and attract through physical art new people interested in the idea behind Pop Studios to the world of NFTs, so they can enjoy the privileges of being a Pop Booty hodler.
We will generate visibility of Pop Booty by making street art on walls around the world. With the help of our community, artists who want to take off in their career and some already recognized artists, we will consecrate our iconography in the collective imaginary.



STREET ART
Street art is heavily inspired by Pop Art, born from the fight against the status quo and rebelling against it by taking over a space that previously did not correspond to the artists: the walls, not of a museum, the walls of the city.
Our approach to street art allows anyone with access to a spray can or a printer to be an artist and help spread symbolism on walls around the world, as well as helping young street artists to spread their art. We want to become for them a platform where they can catapult their talent so that it can be recognized by more people.
1/1 BOOTY POSTERS
Among our 500 canvases, there are 10 of them of unique character, with no traits repeated in the rest of the work, designed exclusively to be part of a small group. Any owner of one of these 1/1's will receive a physical version of it from NFT Poster Store, courtesy of Pop Studios, claimable 15 days after mint, to make sure real diamond hands receive it.



IRL EVENTS
We would like to have presence in events of various kinds and reflect Pop Studios’ projects on the walls of cities and homes, since we appreciate both urban and classic art.
This is a very ambitious idea from Pop Studios, but we are going to work hard so that at some point it stops being a dream and becomes a reality, we want our hodlers to have benefits in both cultural and leisure sites, where they can enjoy being part of our community.

Pop Studios’ projects are very versatile, our iconography and aesthetic is both provocative and memorable, and Pop Art still has many elements that inspire us and will guide our future. Pop Booty is going to be the pillar of Pop Studios, but not its limit. Pop Booty holders will be considered for future collections in which our studio is already working on, and with them, we want to build a recognizable brand, both NFT collections and merchandising, that can be detached from the virtual world to bring our ideas to the general public.
Pop Studios as a brand aims to unite, to erase limits and build bridges between two worlds that can be mutually beneficial but have few connections. To transgress prejudices and bring together people who would not otherwise meet. To create and remember stories through our art and reclaim the space that artists deserve but are not given.
We are looking to achieve this by having presence in events of various kinds, to become a valued platform for emerging artists who want to take off and to unite all those who feel represented by our ideas through clothing, accessories, physical art and any mean of expression born over the time of this journey.
1/1 GOLDEN BOOTY
With the intention of continuing to expand our brand, on Pop Booty we always had the idea that hodlers should have access to the rest of our collections. However, among all the hodlers, there will be a lucky one who will mint the Golden Booty, part of the 10 unique booties, with the benefit that is not only a NFT but also a Golden Ticket for the rest of our projects: who has the Golden Booty will get for free a NFT from all future collections of Pop Studios.

MERCHANDISE
Pop Booty merchandise will help to expand our brand outside the virtual world, we will create a catalog for both Pop Booty fans and more reserved users who still want to support the project. Striking, minimalist and pop are three words that define it.


EXPAND OUR TEAM
Our team is sometimes too small for our ambitious ideas, and despite being able to successfully solve all the crazy things we are working on, we put aside many hours of our private lives in order to offer on our collection the highest quality content as possible.
That’s why in order to expand our horizons we are also going to expand our work team, incorporating people to help us in all kinds of tasks and who are as enthusiastic as we are to offer the highest possible quality at every stage of all our projects.
WEBSITE
Looking to sum up everything on Pop Studios in one place to give a best experience for the user, our team is already working on a website, where with just a glance is enough for anyone to understand our goal and be informed in depth of our projects and ideals.
