Every fine art mfer is layered with Easter eggs, visual references, and ironic nods to internet culture, fashion, and high art. From subtle nods to pop icons to meta-commentary on Web3 itself, each piece rewards a closer look.

With every brushstroke, the collection affirms that NFTs aren’t just about tech or speculation—they’re a new kind of folk art, born onchain, rich with attitude, and always evolving with the communities that shape them.
