Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd’s partner Dapper Labs Inc. has launched the CryptoKitties Artist Series with four epic CryptoKitties designed by Momo Wang, a multiple award-winning and internationally recognised illustrator based in Beijing.
CryptoKitties is one of the first and largest games on the Ethereum network and offers digital cat crypto-collectibles secured via blockchain technology.
Animoca has been a key partner of CryptoKitties since January 2018 and brokered the collaboration between CryptoKitties and Momo Wang.
Momo Wang is the creator of the highly popular Tuzki character, a black and white line drawing of a bunny that is one of the most recognized characters in China and used widely across various instant messaging platforms.

The Momo Wang collection features four avant-garde cats inspired by DADA ballet costumes that each possess an authentic take on the genetic makeup of a CryptoKitty.
Two of these Kitties will be reserved for upcoming Fancy Chases and two Kitties will be sold on Nifty Gateway.
Momo’s first CryptoKitty, Catterina, is a Special Edition in a limited run of 100 priced at US$100 each.
Catterina is exclusively available on Nifty Gateway, the platform for collectors and artists that allows the exhibition and trading of rare artworks.
