phneep
Artist of Cards 1β10, 14β16, and 20
As graphic as crypto gets.
Phneep is the artiste of β02 photoshop. His level of manipulation is timeless β a treat, and a joke β itβs that good.
Mostly, he makes Bitcoin propaganda; WWI and WWII posters turned to bold Bitcoin originals. Humorous subversions teaching us βwhyβ Bitcoin β and how. Taking aim at βbankstersβ who ruin the world through a dirty fiat system.
Pranksters like phneep need a butt to their jokes. Satire is second-nature. Itβs how you draw eyes. By now, so is shitposting.
By now, so is being Canadian. We know that much aboot him. Even if his art's made it all the way to the beaches and street-poles of Brighton, in the UK. (Phneep does enjoys a good beach, and a good book, too.)
Heβs mastered mashups, crossing the Canadian Maple leaf with every other flag. Hockey teams, too. Logos. GIFs. Bitcoin in horror movie posters. And then there was Mad Bitcoins.
And then: Mad Bitcoins in movie posters.
But despite picturing what he wants, how he wants, phneepβs name is a sound: onomatopoeia for βcensorship.β
It's all in the Cards.
Phneepβs Apples is the first art on Ethereum. His numbering sets the tone for the entire set. Guided by Mad Bitcoins, the first ten cards tell the story of the evolution of mankind into art creators. 14β16 are Bitcoin-rebrands of Coca Cola, Wendyβs and Heineken β crisp, classic photoshop hijinks. And then thereβs the official MadBitcoins trading Card (20), the first portrait on Ethereum.
As phneep might say: thatβs aboot it. For more phneep: See his site.
