A Crypto Unicorn Is Born

Bitcoin + Unicorns + Crypto Comics = Instant Fun
For those not familiar with Southern California, I present a typical scene of our culture. Notice the colorful yet untamed creatures scheming for market domination. Marvel at the entrepreneurial ingenuity of these beautiful, sun-baked minds. Among the breathtaking backdrop of the rolling hills, catch that wild start-up spirit of boldness and natural ingenuity... or not.

But seriously, this crypto-art comic strip pokes fun at some of the sillier t...

The Bombastic Bat Pop

With comics, candy, and superheroes, how can anyone go wrong? Popping colorfully off the pages of a comic book universe near you, the flavorful super-hero known only as Bat Pop is sure to sweeten up the streets with crime-busting hard punches as well as colorful hard candy for the law-abiding citizens!

You can buy this rare digital art on MakersPlace using Ethereum or a Credit Card. It is issued in a limited edition of only 10 copies.

I might have set my own personal record for how many diffe...

Crypto Fly-By-Night Alliance

We can all strike a scenic pose and look good with the right props. Some creatures look poised to fly high at any moment. Meanwhile many claim to have the answers--to be filled with light. Yet with both of these scenarios, all too many folks never really get off the ground. And even more are full of only darkness.

I drew this crypto-art animation as social commentary. Am I taking an easy jab at the current state of cryptocurrency regulations and market volatility? Or is this comic about even d...

Low Flying Dream

I have a recurring dream about flying. It is an incredibly fun process and these dreams come at the most random, unpredictable times. This dream is so enjoyable that I look at it as a gift from God. Mind you, I can't fly fast in these dreams, like Superman. But I fly slow, low to the ground, and peacefully. I hope to experience this also in real life some day.

The landscape I am flying over in these dreams is always very hilly. That is a bit ironic because I started having these dreams for man...

Palate for Pong

I created this animated digital art as a way to illustrate my latest joke. It features an obsessive video game player who is captivated by Pong. As pop culture puns go, this one is sure to tickle your appetite.
What is it called when gamers get so engrossed all day and night in playing online that they forget to eat?

Using Ethereum, you can buy (or bid on) this limited-edition piece of rare digital art at the SuperRare marketplace.

Brother and Friend

"I get angry with a lot of people," said Ed to Abe. "But I never get angry with you. Why is that?"

Abe smiled a bit, on the inside. He thanked God for this moment. Then he replied, "Because I am not just your brother. I'm also your friend!"
- - -The above super-short story about trust and relationships, as well as its animated illustration, were both created by me to portray the importance of having consistent brotherly kindness and compassion toward one another. It is a trait that is often too...

Seek And Ye Shall Find Purity

"Rarity of Purity" is an animation I created, and my wife Denise colored, as a way to visualize the concept of purity. It is artwork that is available as a limited edition of only one on the SuperRare market for rare digital art. As a needed attribute for humankind, purity has become more and more scarce these days. Therefore it seemed only fitting to issue this rare artwork about purity on an art platform called SuperRare. Yet regardless of how scarce purity is thought of by the rest of the...

Blockhead Gear - Cinematic Edition

This crypto comic strip presents oddly extreme measures to tap our minds for more resources. It is rare digital art that takes a comical turn to poke fun at crypto-technology as well as human relationships. While the theme of this comic is satirical, I do believe that there will soon come a technology that people will flock to because it claims to enhance us. Yet that same technology will end up destroying many people. So be on your guard.

On a stylistic level, this cinematic edition of Blockh...

Crypto-Lawyer in the Half Shell

Often--and perhaps even too often--I will draw a scene in my mind or a scene from California life and it will turn out to be a decent drawing, in and of itself. Yet because I have created so many cartoons throughout my career, I usually then ask myself the following question; "How can I turn this drawing into a good comic?"
Such is the case with this crypto-art comic featuring a turtle and a woman enjoying some time upon their Southern California balcony. The drawing started out as a quick and...

Crypto Risky Business

I drew this comic to poke fun at the riskiness of not just crypto-businesses, but any business venture. I drew this cartoon in black and white using an ink brush at the Ethereal Summit in New York City in summer 2018. Then I colored it on my touch-screen computer and am now issuing it as a limited edition piece of rare digital art. You can bid on and perhaps buy this crypto-collectible using Ethereum at the SuperRare marketplace: https://superrare.co/JoeChiappetta

Some might even say that then...
