Hi pepe artists,
I’m Tom from roomemeta, a non-profit art space in Beijing’s 798 Art District . We’re presenting “Pepe: The Meme,” an exhibition tracing Pepe’s full cultural journey — with a dedicated wall celebrating the Rare Pepe movement.
Your works are featured in the exhibition, and we’ve printed physical trading cards of the pieces on display.
I apologize for reaching out after the exhibition was already planned. Finding contact info for Rare Pepe artists was incredibly difficult — the community is wonderfully decentralized but hard to reach. Thanks to some vibe-coding, we finally managed to track down social media for many artists.
Full transparency: if any revenue is generated, I will publicly disclose all income and expenses, and send your share via on-chain USDT transfer.
Rare Pepe is a truly great project. I’d love to connect with more artists — if you know others in the community, introductions would be deeply appreciated.
Thank you for your incredible contribution to this movement.
Best regards,
Tom

Dear @Matt_Furie ,
We recently organized a non-profit exhibition in Beijing centered on Pepe.
Although we understand that you most likely will not be able to come in person, we still wanted to share this invitation with you as a sincere gesture of respect.
The exhibition is fundamentally about Pepe and his many transformations. In it, we included selected excerpts from Boys Club, presented works related to Rare Pepe, and screened parts of Pepe Lore. Our intention has always been to approach this cultural history with seriousness, care, and respect.
We also want to sincerely apologize that we were unable to reach you in advance. It has been extremely difficult to find a way to contact you. Because of that, we could only move forward by first shaping the exhibition, while continuing to hope that we might eventually establish contact with you during the process.
If possible, we would be deeply grateful for your permission and understanding.
With our sincerest regards,
roomemeta

If anyone has contact information for John Villar’s family, please let me know. He truly was a great artist.

Hi Easy B,

Your style, inspired by action movies, cartoons, wrestling, and comics, brings a unique energy to the Rare Pepe collection. We’ve printed physical trading cards and dedicated a wall to this movement.
Apologies for the late outreach. Revenue will be publicly disclosed, shares sent via on-chain USDT.
Best,

Hi MrHansel,
I’m Tom from roomemeta in Beijing’s 798 Art District. We’re presenting “Pepe: The Meme,” celebrating Pepe’s cultural journey with a major section on the Rare Pepe movement.
With 31 Rare Pepe cards to your name — including the legendary PEPEBRICK — you’re one of the most prolific artists in the project’s history. Your work is featured in our exhibition, and we’ve printed physical trading cards of the pieces on display.
As a CounterParty and Bitcoin artist since 2015, you were there from the very beginning. We want to make sure your contributions are properly recognized and celebrated.
Apologies for reaching out after the fact — finding everyone in this beautifully decentralized community was a challenge. Revenue will be publicly disclosed, and your share sent via on-chain USDT.
Best from Beijing,

Hi DanDarkPill,
I’m Tom from roomemeta, a non-profit art space in Beijing’s 798 Art District. We’re presenting “Pepe: The Meme,” an exhibition exploring Pepe’s cultural journey — with a dedicated section celebrating the Rare Pepe movement.
Your works, including pieces from the History of Art Series and the Putin Series, are featured in the exhibition. We’ve printed physical trading cards of the Rare Pepe works on display. Your DARKPILLPEPE is one of the most iconic Series 1 cards, and we wanted to make sure it had its place in this story.
I apologize for the late outreach — finding contact info for Rare Pepe artists was incredibly difficult, and we had to organize the exhibition first before reaching out. If any revenue is generated, I’ll publicly disclose all income/expenses and send your share via on-chain USDT.
I’d love to connect further and hear from you. If you know other Rare Pepe artists I should reach out to, introductions would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Tom

Hi Scrilla,
I’m Tom from roomemeta, a non-profit art space in Beijing’s 798 Art District. We’re running an exhibition called “Pepe: The Meme” that traces Pepe’s journey from Matt Furie’s comic all the way to the Rare Pepe revolution on the blockchain.
As one of the most prolific Rare Pepe artists with 40+ cards — and a pioneer who helped bridge hip-hop, art, and crypto culture — your work is a key part of what we’re showcasing. We’ve printed physical trading cards of Rare Pepe works including yours, and dedicated an entire wall to the Rare Pepe movement.
I apologize for reaching out after the exhibition was already planned. Tracking down contact info for Rare Pepe artists across the decentralized web was a massive challenge — we finally managed it with the help of some vibe-coding. If the exhibition generates any revenue, I will publicly disclose all finances and send your share via on-chain USDT transfer.
As someone who’s been at the intersection of Rare Pepe and community building since 2016 (and host of Art on the Blockchain!), I’d love your help connecting with more artists from the community. This is a project that deserves to be celebrated.
Thank you for everything you’ve contributed to this movement.
Best,
Tom

Rarescrilla.com is live - view on mobile or desktop but desktop is better cuz it has two turntables to mix music - u can also increase/decrease speeds quite a bit to make some fun beat matching challenges
~ 1000 artworks on there - some of it u gotta dig thru and find children and subassets cuz digging in the blockchain is a way of life
Still need to add a bunch more physical and older music stuff but the core of my past ten years or so is on the site I think
It’s the only website that has all my blockchain shit and physicals in place tho
Limited edition PURPLEPEPE fine art prints dropped today on the site for the first time as well
Mint page goes live tomorrow for the DJPEPE vrm/glb

@bettidlomas @nathansonic Dear Hansel,
My name is Tom Sun, and I’m one of the curators of Roomemeta — a non-profit art space located in the 798 Art District of Beijing, China. Our space is dedicated to exploring how memes shape human behavior and collective imagination in the post-internet era.
English

In return, we will:
•Credit your name and work clearly on-site and across all publications, media, and catalogs.
•Share any profits from related printed materials or merchandise with contributing artists, or donate them back to the Rare Pepe community fund.
•Provide high-quality documentation of the exhibition and your displayed work afterward.
English

@bettidlomas @nathansonic I came across your work through the artist directory on pepe.wtf, and I would be honored to include your creation(s) in the exhibition. We kindly ask for your authorization to print and display your Rare Pepe artwork(s) within our space.
English

Alongside the Rare Pepe presentation, we’re also collaborating with the $PEPE community, who will contribute digital and real-time elements — including an installation featuring a Pepe statue holding a Rare Pepe card binder, with an LED screen in front displaying the live $PEPE token price.
Honestly, this idea feels super cool to me — it captures the spirit of how memes live, mutate, and breathe through people.
English

@bettidlomas @nathansonic We have invited Joe Looney as our co-curator and Rare Pepe Foundation as our co-producer of the show. Both Joe and Mike have already granted us permission to display their works, and we are now reaching out to more Rare Pepe artists to join this collective celebration.
English

In this exhibition, we see the Rare Pepe project as an essential chapter in the entire Pepe cultural narrative — a turning point that transformed Pepe from a symbol into a living, decentralized mythology. For that reason, we will dedicate a large part of our physical space to presenting the Rare Pepe project in full.
