Strangers HQ is a generative PFP project created by Collective Strangers and artist Nick Kuchar. Inspired by adventure, modern design, and the early days of surf culture; this whimsical collection of characters is an ode to exploration and finding meaning in shared experiences.

Collective Strangers began as a web3 focused photography collective with a love for travel and sharing photos. We inspired the first community sourced NFT photography collection. Now we're expanding beyond photography to become a travel hub for all of web3. 

Co-founder: Eric Rubens is a southern California based photographer. He’s built an audience of over 500,000 followers across his social channels by sharing a love for vibrant colors, beautiful landscapes, and connecting with others. He is currently signed to long-term partnerships with Sony and United Airlines. Other clients include Disney, AMEX, Four Seasons, BMW, Adidas, Adobe, Mercedes-Benz, and many other brands across the world. He was selected as 1 of 12 artists in the world to be a launch partner for Instagram’s Digital Collectibles premiere.

Co-Founder: Known as Passion by the NFT community, Noah has a background in corporate finance, operations, and consulting. He found his true calling NFTs in 2020 and has been involved as a collector, operator, and founder. He currently leads strategy and operations at Unblocked, which builds newly imagined NFT applications enabling music and entertainment brands (Billboard, Pepsi, Intel, Penske Media Corp) to build meaningful value for their communities. His previous experience includes Deloitte, Rarible Protocol, and several venture backed hospitality-tech startups.

Artist: Nick Kuchar creates vintage inspired surf and travel art featuring his favorite locations of this ‘āina he calls home. His creative process takes him throughout the islands where he looks for inspiration paddling out at surf breaks and going on hikes. He takes onsite sketches and photographs into his studio where he uses a mix of acrylic washes and digital illustration to bring his vision of these locales to life. His artwork is featured with numerous travel and consumer brands such as Hurley, Patagonia, JuneShine, Four Seasons, Hawaii Airlines, and more!

Have questions?

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions. Did we miss something? DM us on Twitter to ask anything else.

Yes. ~50 million list registrations have happened on PREMINT without issue. When you sign in with PREMINT, you only are validating ownership of the wallet address. PREMINT does not get any permissions to perform transactions and does not have any way of withdrawing anything from your wallet.
Premint has been used by some of the top artists and collections in the NFT ecosystem, including XCOPY, Coldie, DeekayMotion, Cool Cats, Known Origin, Async Art, Shaq, and over 25,000 more.
Signing is the only way we can truly know that you are the owner of the wallet you are connecting. Signing is a safe, gas-less transaction that does not in any way give PREMINT permission to perform any transactions with your wallet.
PREMINT saves your wallet and social info as a part of the registration step, so you can disconnect everything afterwards and your entry is still valid.
As far as PREMINT is concerned, yes, but the project owner might check that you still own the token before finalizing the list.
If you fully registered, the only way your wallet wouldn’t be on the list of registered wallets is if the project removed it. PREMINT never deletes wallets from the list for any reason.
If you don’t know what wallet your Discord or Twitter are connected to, just go to https://premint.xyz/disconnect and you can force-disconnect them.
While creators are welcome to name their PREMINT projects whatever they like, we choose to use the term "allow list" or "access list" vs "whitelist." "Whitelist" could be considered exclusionary language, and the spirit of web3 is about inclusion.
