If you’ve been keeping a close eye on Buster’s antics, you’d know that Buster and his Bored Ape friends are pulling out an exclusive medal! You’ve seen the final product, but how did we get there in the first place? Let’s have a look!
Early sketches
Buster’s not known for his “artsy side” but you’d be surprised how good he can draw when he puts his mind to it. Especially with the added pressure from his fellow apes 🤣. You can see that the initial sketch started out COMPLETELY different than the final design. Saying that Buster was exhausted from the process would be an understatement. But he enjoyed every minute of it 😉
Buster wanted to go above and beyond though, so having a static background with no working mechanisms just didn’t clear his creative itch, so here’s what he came up with

Now it came to Buster’s favorite part, the coloring! He always likes the initial stages of coloring when he can go wild with color experimentation. As you can see, the colors are COMPLETELY different compared to the final design

Buster goes to NYC!
Fancy meeting Buster in real life? Well, the stars have finally aligned your way! We’ll be having a Bored Run running event during NFT NYC in 4th April. If you’re ready with your medal purchase before the event, you’ll not only get free shipping (hand delivered medal from Keith!) but you’ll also get to attend our running event for FREE! What’re you waiting for, Dustcaps 😉
For all you story heads
If you’re too far away from NYC, you can still join in on the fun by looking closely at both our twitter account (@the_dustland) and @BoredRunClub. If you’ve got a keen eye, you’ll see an intricate story of how Buster and his friends prepped the medal and the event! 👀
