Eye of Providence: Surveillance, Control, and the Fight for Privacy

Eyes on pyramids, eyes on drones, eyes in every direction, and a few figures standing above the watched. Eye of Providence depicts the panopticon. Bitcoin is the exit. Released as a 1/1 on SuperRare.

Super Satoshi: A Bitcoin Superhero Origin Story

Faster than a run on the banks. Super Satoshi is my masked hero fighting The Ruling Hand, built from 1940s Superman cartoons, Dragon Ball Z, and crypto culture.

IN BITCOIN WE TRUST: A Global Sticker Campaign

Every dollar says 'IN GOD WE TRUST.' I printed thousands of stickers that answer back: IN BITCOIN WE TRUST. They landed on streets across the US, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East.

Chronicles - 2008

2008: the year a toxic debt bubble broke the global economy and a cypherpunk dream became code. My most complex animation to date puts the cypherpunks in the sky and the bankers in a toxic debt swamp.

Novus Moneta Seclorum

Novus Moneta Seclorum: a new money for the ages. Dollar iconography rebuilt around Bitcoin, released on Nifty Gateway in November 2020 in an edition of 21.

AudioVisual Bitcoin Art: Three story-telling animated artworks

Three animated pieces, six NFTs, one message: Bitcoin is better money. The 2020 collection that turned my still propaganda into full audiovisual storytelling.

Freedom Money (AudioVisual Bitcoin Art)

Freedom Money closed the AudioVisual trilogy in September 2020: speech, press, religion, and money. Bitcoin makes the fourth freedom real. This piece set the formula I still work from.

Gold With Wings (AudioVisual Bitcoin Art)

'Bitcoin is gold 2.0 with wings.' I took Tyler Winklevoss at his word and animated the case: more verifiable, more portable, more divisible, more scarce than gold.

Quantitative Hardening (AudioVisual Bitcoin Art)

Quantitative Hardening is the opposite of what the Fed does. Bitcoin cuts its inflation rate 50% every four years, and I animated that monetary policy halving by halving, from the genesis block forward.

Rarible: Expanding the Reach of Bitcoin Art

Rarible meant permissionless minting, no gatekeepers, which is the Bitcoin ethos anyway. Things That Give the Dollar Value asked what actually backs the dollar. It hasn't been gold since 1971.

Virus en Numeros: Animated Bitcoin art inspired by Alex Grey, COVID, & They Live

'Virus en Numeros' twists 'Vires in Numeris', strength in numbers. Alex Grey's godheads, the They Live banker mask, and a COVID cell collide in an animation about bitcoin spreading node by node.

A ₿etter Future (Satoshi´s Citadel v2)

The bitcoin time traveler post painted a bleak future. I painted a better one. Satoshi's Citadel became a fully animated piece, tokenized as a single-edition NFT on SuperRare in March 2020.

The Creation and Destruction of Global Money Systems

Using a combination of bank note and digital painting styles, this art piece presents a new take on the proliferation of Bitcoin and its inherent duality, representing both the creation and destruction of global money systems.

This piece packs a visual punch with references to bitcoin and eastern mythology. The piece uses analogies to highlight the importance of bitcoin as a money system and the implications of bitcoin's mass adoption on the central banking system.

Let AI do the Job - The singularity is here

I stumbled onto the singularity concept in 2011 and it never let go. This piece asks what happens when AI runs its own networks and its own money. I'm still torn.

Currency of Resistance - Bitcoin for Argentina

I based this piece on Argentina's 100 peso note featuring Eva Perón. The peso gets devalued by corruption, debt, and runaway inflation. The people of Argentina need Bitcoin.

JFK Artwork - Dissenters & Elect the Dead

JFK was the last US president I believe truly fought the Federal Reserve and the shadow government. Dissenters and Elect the Dead are built from the speech that proves it.

Illusion of choice

Two political parties. Six information centers. There's a difference between selecting options from a list and choosing what you think is right. That's the illusion of choice.

Dr. Satoshi's Orange Pill: Cure What Ails You

Before 'orange pill' was common crypto vernacular, I drew Dr. Satoshi, a vintage patent-medicine ad reworked for Bitcoin. The old tonics were fraudulent. This cure actually works.

People for Freedom for People - Bitcoin art piece

Isis in an anonymous mask, standing on the Bank of International Settlements as it burns. People who value freedom created Bitcoin. This piece shows why they venerate it.

Day of the Dead "Dia de Muertos" new Bitcoin art piece

A crypto sugar skull born from living Día de Muertos in Mexico. This 2018 piece is a time capsule from the HODLCRYPTO days. The art holds up. Some of the coins don't.

KnownOrigin: Where My NFT Journey Took Flight (2019-2020)

KnownOrigin let me mint editions instead of 1/1s. I released 27 works there between September 2019 and April 2021, including Dr. Satoshi's Orange Pill translated into Chinese, Italian, Polish, and Turkish.
