Cryptopop!
If you are part of the growing crypto community, chances are you’ve come across Cryptopop (aka Luis Buenaventura)’s artwork which transforms blockchain concepts and phenomenons into playful, amusing and educational depictions. His artworks combine his loves of all things pop and crypto-culture to create universal creations that anyone can relate to.
Cryptopop’s artwork often juxtaposes graceful, organic shapes against intricately designed, mechanical machinery. The overall messages and metaphors of Buenaventura’s creations may seem evident at first glance, but his artworks contain an abundance of intricate details and doses of visual humor, so be sure to look closely.
Cryptopop’s background is as layered and multi-faceted as his passion for crypto and the culture that surrounds it. When his interest in the crypto space began to blossom in 2014, he started creating Bitcoin themed cartoons for his friends and family to enjoy. He was shocked by the enthusiastic reaction of not only his loved ones, but of the internet community. The unexpected viral popularity his cartoons signaled to Buenaventura that these were stories that needed to be told (and understood), thus the Cryptopop art persona and movement was born. Today Buenaventura, combines his loves of pop and crypto-cultures to create universal creations that are accessible to all.

Bitcoin: A Visual History (Part 2)
Cryptopop’s latest artwork series is both a commemoration and education on the history of Bitcoin presented through the medium of visual art (something that has never been done, until now). It is part two of an interconnected three part story series consisting of 21 illustrations and cinemagraphs. Part one was released in September, and all 1/1s from the series quickly sold out.
Today, Cryptopop introduces Part Two of the series, which consists of seven animated artworks (1/1s) with seven static illustrated counterparts (10/10). A master cinemagraph (above) which ties together all legendary characters and historic crypto events depicted in the series will also be available for auction. Any collector who manages to snag a copy of all 7 static artworks will be gifted an exclusive static copy of the master edition.
