Meet Wolfsmile

Wolfsmile’s formal debut was as a one-of-one NFT in the Hedz collection – one of 1,000 unique hand-drawn PFP characters by Matt Furie. In design he likely boasts Furie’s signature bold outlines and bright palette: imagine a grinning wolf’s snout with pointy ears and big white fangs, surrounded by spiky fur rendered in neon hues. That perpetual grin suggests a dual nature – part friendly puppy, part cunning wild creature – embodying the mischievous innocence often found in Furie’s work. While his exact personality isn’t described in words, fans infer Wolfsmile is playful and loyal, perhaps a trickster at heart. Importantly, Wolfsmile has been reintroduced as “Wolfie” in Furie’s new illustration book *Cortex Vortex*: official announcements call Wolfie “Matt Furie’s newest character, featured in his latest illustration book.” His prominent placement (even appearing on the book cover) implies Wolfsmile/Wolfie will have a significant role alongside the other oddball creatures of *Cortex Vortex*.
