Feature Artist Charity Auction

What does this mean? This means that we brought together seven premier artists to each create their own Killer GF derivative! All of these 7 1/1s have been auctioned as the KILLER GF GENESIS collection on Foundation. We also wanted to use this as an opportunity to give back to the community. To be fully transparent, below we’ve provided a breakdown for the funds we have raised.

33% of the proceeds will go to the charity of the artist’s choice.
33% of the proceeds will go to the respective artist.
33% of the proceeds will go to the KGF team.

We are incredibly excited to present this to everyone! All seven artists have been personally chosen by both Zeronis and Kiwi. We’re hoping that everyone is just as excited about this as we are…
