\u201cWith anything, you have people that maybe go a little bit too far.\u201d This is how artist Musketon (aka Bert Dries) begins to describe his latest project, CryptoBro, \u201csomebody that\u2019s really into crypto, and it\u2019s like a religion almost.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a devoted satirist who left high-end brand work only to find his creative output mocking similar (if not the same) brands that had once been his clients, it seems inevitable that Musketon would set his sights poking fun at the most outspoken and visible set in all of web3: CryptoBros, highlighting the stereotypes as he saw them \u2014 Red Bull,\u00a0 Xanax, Bitcoin baseball cap, and cold wallet close at hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the illustration of Musketon\u2019s fictional toy made its rounds on social media (\u201cI think the crypto bro illustration is being reposted by actual crypto bros. I think they actually think it\u2019s funny.\u201d), an independent toy maker based in France reached out with a proposition to create a real CryptoBro toy. And so, a larger vision of the CryptoBro project was born.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m an artist, and I can make people happy with actual physical stuff. If you have a webshop and people buy prints, they start sending you messages like how grateful they are to have the print actually in their living room, for instance. So I always really enjoyed making those physical pieces and then actually sending them out to people.\u201d \u2014 Musketon<\/p>\n
