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 social media influencer ‘Art Chick.’ Positing as a great collector/promoter of Crypto/NFT Art, she is really equally as well known for shilling dodgy tokens to her followers. Regardless she’s amassed a huge audience on Twitter alone; over 150,000 followers. Rumours swirled early on AC was really Crypto influencer with a long, dodgy past; Charles Moscoe known as Beanie. This was only fueled when an old Tweet was dug up of Beanie claiming to be AC. He later backtracked.
Allegedly AC has volunteered information on her background; she trained on Beanie’s business team and has been mentored to success by him.
However it has more recently transpired via some online detective work that AC is really a man, true identity being a tech writer/blogger Tanner Golden.
In Nov 2021 AC posted a video, alleged to be of herself, yet her face hidden by a green bandana. In it she admonished digital sleuth ZachXBT for exposing ‘her’ true identity.
