Toter Tots #29 (Ciggy Crypto)

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 American Artist Ziggy Crypto, best known for being most closely associated with Trash Art, possibly the only truly new movement to come out of the Crypto/NFT Art space, and therefore the most significant. Inspired by a passion for Bitcoin and Bowie, fuelled by cigarettes and sarcasm, he is considered one of the lesser celebrated in this genre yet perhaps one of the earliest adopters with his uninhibited mash ups of the mystical and memetic, kitschy and cartoonish, trashy and technological.
