The "Conecept"
The vision for CryptoCones comes from Creative Director, a branding and graphic design pro with more than 25 years of experience. The inaugural project of RetrosphereLabs is based on a character Dom created when he was just a GenX latchkey kid growing up in the North SF Bay Area. This little drawing helped him through some tough times....
"This is primarily about creating a fun set of NFT collectables that remind us of our youth. That makes people smile. That keep us grounded in that magical time when computers and arcade games were new, MTV launched, Star Wars happened, and it felt like the future was ours. So we wore it proudly on our tee shirts."
