This cartoon was commissioned by Coindesk for their year-end Most Influential People in Crypto 2017 feature. Check out their writeup on Eric Voorhees here. No scifi geek grows up in the 80s and 90s without a deep affection for Robert Zemeckis’ classic time travel trilogy. I’ve referenced it once before as part of my $10,000 […]

Official poster for the second Bitcoin Rodeo, which was held in Edmonton last week. After the event, they auctioned off a copy of the poster signed by all of the crypto speakers, which was pretty cool. I think I’m getting pretty good at drawing bulls. As always, your donations help me to keep creating this […]

Here’s a fun piece I made as a commission for Reddit user Rehrar a week ago for the Monero Revuo magazine he’s just started publishing. The idea was to make a cartoon that represented the six people that make up Monero’s core dev team, and what we ended up with was the psychedelic fever dream […]

Maxine Ryan has been a friend and collaborator for years now, and I’m really happy to finally be able to publish this portrait of her. Back in 2014, she and George Harrap started Bitspark out of Hong Kong, a bitcoin remittances startup that has since become a partner of my own startup Bloom. They continue […]

It’s the Cryptopop Halloween Special, featuring Pinhead! Lines by Luis Buenaventura, paints by my sister (a.k.a., the real comic professional) Lizz Buenaventura. Check out a decade’s worth of her published work here. I’ll be posting daily horror through til October 31st, check them all out here. If you liked this image or any of my […]

The idea for this piece came from a video of Andreas Antonopoulos talking about how the biggest threat for Bitcoin were trolls on Reddit. I had recently been watching some of Guillermo del Toro’s TrollHunters series on Netflix and this felt like an obvious visualization. Granted, the trolls from the cartoon weren’t powered by ASICs, Budweiser, and […]

I got to meet Vortex, the host of the Bitcoin News Show, at the Bitcoin Rodeo in Calgary a couple weeks ago and we immediately connected on subjects like digital art and programming. The movie Tron from 1982 is one of those rare bits of pop culture that really merges both interests, and this piece […]
