Who is Fido Dido?
Fido is the living embodiment of a philosophy believed but not necessarily exemplified by his vaguely neurotic creators, Joanna Ferrone, and Sue Rose. Everyone seems to think that he was born when he was doodled on a cocktail napkin. But the truth is Fido existed before he was drawn. He just needed somebody to put the pen to the paper and get him going. Once that happened (big deal right?) the creators ceased to have any control over his actions. Let’s face it, Joanna’s dogs won’t even do what she says, much less Fido. So even though she’s bigger than him and a bit less black and white, she doesn’t have a say in what he says or does. Joanna doesn’t really mind this lack of control because she knows that no person, living or drawn, should be controlled. Which leaves her free to sit back and enjoy watching Fido’s journey.
Fido is all about trusting and his career reflects his “Fidosophy”. With the universe conspiring to support him and his indestructible innocence taking him seamlessly through the vicissitudes of changing fashions, cultural trends, and mindsets, it seems clear that Fido is here to stay.
Where did Fido Dido first appear?
Sue Rose first doodled the character in 1985 on a napkin in a restaurant. Ferrone came up with the character’s name on her way to work the next day. The two later stenciled Fido on T-shirts. These T-shirts became very popular in New York, and featured the character's official mantra: "Fido is for Fido. Fido is against no one. Fido is youth. Fido has no age. Fido sees everything. Fido judges nothing. Fido is innocent. Fido is powerful. Fido comes from the past. Fido is the future."
What is the dimension of each PFP?
55 x 55 cm
What is the image resolution of each PFP?
Each image is a 1560 x 1560px.
Are there additional 1/1s in the collection?
Yes. 11 1/1s.
How many Cards are reserved for the team (mint partners & developers) & future activations (giveaways, collabs, & partnerships)?
57 (around 1% of the collection)
What is the royalty?
7%
