The first Source creatures you'll find in the Voss Field Archive — the Strays, the Source Renders, the pixel art on every Signal Card — are drawn from CC0mon, a digital art collection of 260 monster species living permanently on the Ethereum blockchain.

CC0mon was built on a simple and radical idea: that art can belong to everyone. Every creature in the collection is CC0 — public domain, permanently and legally. No permission needed. No gatekeepers. The pixels are etched into the blockchain and will outlast every server, every company, and every copyright. They were created to last forever and released to the world to carry forward in any direction anyone chooses.

Fields & Fables chose to carry them into a snail-mail adventure story about creatures crossing from a digital dimension into our analog world. It felt right.

About the Artist

We are deeply grateful to the artist, known as Satoshi's Mom on X, building something this open and this generous. Satoshi's Mom is a well-known digital artist and the founder of The Digital Asset Museum, a first-of-its-kind nonprofit institution in St. Petersburg, Florida dedicated to preserving the history of Web3, its cultural evolution, and the artists who shaped it.

CC0mon is one of the most interesting things happening at the intersection of digital art and public creativity and we are honored to be part of its story.

A Word on Screens

Fields & Fables is not anti-screen. We love and support digital art and artists. We love the creativity and community that exists online. We love that something as extraordinary as CC0mon — 260 species, permanently preserved, freely given to the world — could only exist because of the technology that built it.

What we believe is that screens work best when they exist alongside physical things, especially for kids — in our case, real letters, real paper, real objects that arrive in a mailbox and sit on a desk and get carried to school. The world is chaotic and fast and relentless. Fields & Fables is our attempt to offer something that moves at a different speed. Not instead of screens. Alongside them.

The creatures started as pixels on a blockchain. They arrive at your door as cards you can hold.

We think that's a pretty good journey.

What Creatures Are Coming?

That's the mystery.
We don't know which Strays will cross next, or when, or where Loop will point. The creatures arrive when the story brings them — and the story goes wherever the signal leads.
The only way to find out is to come along.
