About HairyLabs
Two school friends from Essex in the 90s—where dance music thrived—bonded over art and games. One went on to study IT & cyber security, the other to art school. Now we’re dads, still creating, and still having fun.
What we do
We make original, hand-crafted on-chain art and games. Every collection is drawn or built by us. No copy-paste. No templates. Just fresh ideas.
Our Story
Spunks originated during a quick game of FIFA. A colleague pointed us to PulseChain and we moved fast. D hand-illustrated every trait—our original, playful take on punks. The drop landed and took off: 10,000 minted in 24 hours. Now live on PulseChain and Base.
We kept the momentum with Pirates—10,000 hand-drawn characters. A Python generator assembles layered art with weighted traits, keeping rare features genuinely scarce. Free mint. Rave reviews. Sold out. Released on PulseChain and Base.
Next, we stepped into 3D with Ponks—Blender-built characters with crafted traits and a crisp, modern finish. While D supported CopeVille with weapons and map design for their FPS game, we also built Anaglyphpunks—our stereoscopic twist on classic punk art. More free mints, multi-chain drops—still 100% made by us.
Free mint is still live on PulseChain and Ethereum.Ponks are live on PulseChain, Base, and Camp.
Over time I learnt how to build full-stack Web3 toolkits: Solidity for EVM contracts (ERC-721/1155) with tests/CI; frontend in React/Next.js; Python for art generators; ops for nodes & indexing. I often deploy with Remix or Hardhat → contract → frontend → mainnet.
What’s Next
PonkBall — our fast-paced paintball FPS in Unreal Engine. Sharp movement. Big colour. Skill-first gameplay. Watch Ponks become playable characters. See progress and updates on the Ponkball page.
We’re also planning Ponk Coin, earned through gameplay. Holders of Ponks on PLS, Base, and Camp will be eligible for an airdrop closer to launch. You can still mint Ponks on Base and PulseChain. Camp Ponks have already minted out.
Why HairyLabs
Original art. Playful worlds. Real build energy. We’ll keep shipping until something clicks—and then we’ll push it further.
