[Chopa.eth @ChopaYC]

I’m always a little taken aback when people remember my work and take the time to give me a shoutout.

Part of my journey has always been wondering whether people would recognize me for who I am as an artist, or whether the apes would be the only thing people associated me with.

I’ve never been one to post often, nor am I someone who publicly goes around claiming or bragging about being the artist behind the work. I’ve always preferred to let the art speak for itself.

Since my last showcase at HK Art Basel, my work has been going through a period of transformation. Almost an unraveling of everything I thought I knew, followed by a deeper realization of my true self in the middle of all the chaos.

I’ve been quietly incubating, exploring and evolving. Some of you may have already noticed.

There’s a lot more to this journey than what I’ve shared publicly.

Thank you for the kind words @osoo ❤️

The Artist Behind Bored Ape Yacht Club’s Illustrations: Chopa (@ChopaYC)

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) is one of the most recognizable NFT collections in crypto, known for its unique artwork, massive community, and influence on NFT culture.

While BAYC originally launched in April 2021 with 10,000 unique apes, the artwork surrounding the collection has continued to grow over the years. One artist contributing to that creative scene is Chopa (@ChopaYC), known for his Bored Ape illustrations.

Chopa has helped keep the Bored Ape aesthetic alive through his illustrations, bringing new ideas and creative takes to characters that have become iconic throughout the NFT space.

What makes his work stand out is his ability to capture the familiar Bored Ape look while adding his own touch. His illustrations give the community fresh artwork to enjoy and share, even years after the original collection launched.

BAYC has always been about more than just owning an NFT. The artwork, characters, and community are a big part of what made it successful in the first place.

Artists like Chopa (@ChopaYC) are part of what keeps that culture going, showing that even years later, there’s still plenty of room for creativity within the Bored Ape universe.

I’m genuinely happy to see how far Bored Ape Yacht Club has come.

Being an artist behind
@BoredApeYC
has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. What started as a passion for creating unique characters turned into something much bigger than I ever imagined.

Seeing the community embrace the artwork and continue supporting BAYC after all these years means a lot to me.

I still love what I do, I’m still creating, and I have so many ideas I want to bring to life.

Forever grateful to be part of this journey. Much love to everyone who’s been here

From Tokyo to the Club.

Uchi sees design as a way to bring people together, inspired by the places he calls home, the pieces he collects, and the communities he's part of.

That vision comes to life in his BAYC collection.

Hear from Uchi on the process behind it.

Joining OpenSea's Flagship Collection..

Did We Winners yet by @lm_netwebs: a work by pioneering digital artist Lorna Mills, whose animated GIF collages turn the internet’s strange and absurd imagery into art.

More below 👇

[OpenSea @opensea]

Lorna Mills finds her material in the internet’s strangest corners. She turns found clips, animals, and awkward gestures into looping GIF collages, giving familiar online imagery a strange new life.

The Canadian artist has exhibited since the early 1990s and helped establish the GIF as an artistic medium. In 2016, “Mountain Light/Time” brought an animated sunrise to Times Square’s billboards. Her collaborative project “Ways of Something” reimagined John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing” with more than 100 artists and became part of the Whitney Museum’s collection.

“Did We Winners yet” joins our Flagship Collection, celebrating an artist who continues to change how we look at the internet and what we find there.
