Toter Tots #16 (Scary Cartlidge)

This collection parodies well known memes, creators and personalities of the Crypto/NFT Art space. It riffs off retro cartoon references of the 1970s-1980s; Topps trading cards like Garbage Pail Kids and Weird Wheels, satirical Art of publications like MAD, Beano and Whizzer & Chips. This one is based on UK-based digital Artist Gary Cartlidge, considered an ‘OG’ in the Crypto/NFT Art space, and is inspired by his day job as a janitor - which he’s managed to make part of his brand.
Well known for wearing his wildly beating heart on his boiler suit sleeve, his sometimes intimidating statements are notorious for causing controversy. His colourful, frenetic painterly works take equal amounts of inspiration from pop culture, antiquity and street Art; mixing elements of all, and often accompanied by his signature drippy halo.
