SMOKINCAT - MENTAL HEALTH MEME COIN
SMOKINCAT began as a character—a feral, grinning feline spitting smoke and attitude onto the walls of Leake Street. At first glance, it was playful, chaotic, a kind of absurdist mascot. But as the project grew, it began to carry something deeper. SMOKINCAT became a container for contradiction: humour and pain, detachment and depth, a trickster figure dancing at the edge of a breakdown.
Created by Marc Craig, SMOKINCAT is now evolving into something far more layered: a street art project, a meme coin experiment, and a mental health initiative rolled into one. It’s messy on purpose—because so is life, especially when you live with the kind of inner noise and emotional intensity Marc works with. At the heart of it is a question: what happens when you turn personal chaos into collective currency?
Through limited edition prints, community murals, and a transparently governed meme coin ($SMCT), the project explores what it means to make public art from private struggle. The VOID WALLET model redistributes value—funding new murals, supporting artists with lived experience, and making the act of creation something that can be shared, not just observed.
There’s no corporate polish here. SMOKINCAT runs on instinct, humour, self-awareness, and an underlying sense of urgency. It’s not trying to save the world—but it is trying to build something real from the parts of ourselves we’re usually told to hide.
