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 renowned anonymous OG Artist XCOPY, one of the historically highest-selling creators in the Crypto/NFT Art space. He is known for his frenetic and energetic, yet minimalist illustration style. Heavily inspired by the simple shapes and jarring colours on dark grounds, his work is often reminiscent of retro video game screens. The glitchy, crackling animations and stills utilize great use of almost painterly strokes and textures that take them from basic gifs to the next level. Steeped in dystopian dark comedy, his work is like staring into end of transmission or white noise, forced to contemplate our existence and reflect on the actions and meaning of our lives.
