Toter Tots #28 (Olive Yellin’)

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 Russo-American Artist Olive Allen aka OA, considered an OG in the Crypto/NFT Art space and probably best known for her ‘Hypebird’ and ‘Unbearable’ characters, utilized in bold works that are unapologetically kitsch. OA takes a deep dive into a retro aesthetic and conjures a vision of longing for consumer-driven Western life. Current affairs and frenetic capitalism collide in a fantasy world of all-you-can-buy Toys “R” Us stores spurred by endless fountains of currency. A defiant and vocal proponent of all things human rights and equality on social media, she parlays her voice into real life activism; OA recently made headlines for burning her passport outside New York’s Russian Embassy in protest of the Ukraine war.
