Hello everyone. I'm Byron from Canada and I usually draw zombies. When I'm not drawing zombies I like to experiment and draw cats, pickles, derps, and just about anything else that strikes my fancy.

In winter I often draw Snow Goofs. They look a lot like the Snow Goons from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips, and I do admit that Watterson was a huge impact on me in the younger years. But they are all hand drawn original artwork by me.

See the PFP: https://nfthive.io/drop/nfthivedrops/7172

Over the years I have drawn a lot of snow goofs, but this year I went a bit further. I took as many snow goofs as I could find and created a new PFP out of them. I used a few holiday graphics from years gone by, created a few new background sky textures with the help of my wife Monica, and then put it all together in the NFTHive PFP contract.

Thank you NFTHive for making such a wonderfully fun toy to play with.

I've written previous articles on how to set up a PFP ... like this one https://www.publish0x.com/artistbyron/jack-o-lantern-pfp-with-more-xmjdqne

So for this article I just want to explain a little about how I am trying to market the Snow Goofs.

One of the first things I am doing is selling the Snow Goofs for different currencies. WAX allows other creators to create their own token. The Horde has DHC, AlienWorlds uses TLM a lot, NFTHive has Honey ... etc. I wanted to try to open up the options as much as possible, and it has helped a little to make it easier for people to buy.

The second thing is more of an experiment. I like to try new things. I like to give back to those that give so much to me. So I started a small contest to reward the person that holds the #1 ranked Snow Goof at the end of the year.

NFTHive has a ranking system that shows which Snow Goof is the most rare by the traits it has.Currently holding the #1 spot (as of this writing) is PVM. When he took that #1 ranking spot he was awarded with 1100 $DHC ... the next person that knocks him out and claims the top spot will also get 1100 $DHC

But that's not all.

For this PFP I am giving away up to 100,000 $DHC to people who collect and hold a Snow Goof.
See https://www.artistbyron.ca/snowgoofs for more details.

PRIZES

(still to be finalized)

1. • First account to mint gets a first to mint NFT for fun <- COMPLETED!
2. • Highest ranked after 24 hours gets a 6660 $DHC coin!  <- COMPLETED!
3. • first to mint #13 or #69 or #42 or #420 or #666 gets special Snow Goof NFT <- COMPLETED for 1,13,42,69 
4. • DHC prize for highest ranked after 48 hours and each 24 hours after that until the end of the drop or sell out.<- COMPLETED!
5. • Account with theTop Ranked Snow Goof at the end of 5000 minted will receive a 33,000 DHC prize sent directly to their wallet.

Currently the drop is set for 5000. Within 24 hours after the 5000th Snow Goof is minted, a craft utility will emerge for you to turn your duplicate unneeded lower ranked Snow Goofs into a MEGA SNOW GOOF!!

24 hours after that another 5000 Snow GOOFs will be available for minting with new prizes, like the old prizes, but also for the most rare MEGA SNOW GOOF!!!!

What else to say? 
I like to make little snowgoof rewards to give to those that get special mint #s 
The #69 prize was fun and kinda funny if you think about it.

I know I have high hopes of getting close to selling 5000 ... but a zombie artist can dream right?
I also have more plans to give away more IRL artwork ... maybe someone will win that ?

Currently 183 have sold - most of them bought with DHC.

I have more ideas for these once the year ends or a sell out happens. 
Think MEGA snow GOOF and also DHC farming ... it's a future thing.

Until then though, I keep working on everything I can.
