I had already published my first Jimmy Song portrait when the man himself messaged me to ask if I could do a cowboy-themed commission. On hindsight, a Wild West-inspired portrait of Jimmy was probably the most appropriate given where he was from (and the general state of the crypto industry). For the uninitiated, this cartoon […]

Dominique has been working with the Bitcoin Association of Hong Kong for as long as I can remember. Not only is she an all-around awesome person, but she’s devoted all of her free time to evangelizing Bitcoin to people around the region. We wanted something fantasy-inspired with Dominique’s portrait, and ended up using Galadriel from […]

Ordinarily I dislike having to explain my work, but in the case of this Beatles parody, a little bit of explanation is in order. While doing research for this piece, I discovered that the original HELP! album cover photo that everyone is familiar with does not, in fact, spell “HELP.” It actually nonsensically spells “NUJV,” […]

If you like the stuff that you see here, please share it with your […]

I’ve been trying really hard to render my Star Wars cartoons in the proper sequence (the first one was a reference to a scene in Episode III, and I’ve been slowly working my way up to Episode VI), but this particular gag was just too good to pass up. Over the past week, a “clone” […]

When I was a kid, I adored Spider-man and collected as many of the comics as my high school allowance could afford. Long-time fans will instantly recognize the homage above, as it references the most iconic Spider-man comic book cover ever printed. The new Spider-man Homecoming trailer that broke the other day reminded me how grateful […]

My new Bitcoin shirt is out and for sale at CryptoWhaleClothing as of today. Like my Litecoin: Ignite the Fire design, it combines elements of the community and fandom.

With less than 24 hours to go before August 1st 12:00 GMT, the whole community waits for the potential Bitcoin network split.
