Crypto Crimz is an NFT universe that uncovers the secrets of a global crime family. From art forgers to activists, tax hacks to dealers, Mark Chu’s hand-drawn characters challenge stereotypes around crime by revealing a global network of ideologies both familiar and surprising. Each crim shares their own backstory, and doubles as an entry in a splintered crime theory dictionary. Blending portraiture with fiction and sociology, Crypto Crimz boldly takes NFT collectibles into a new critical realm. 

Through unique backstories, get to know the worldviews of each crim, whose beliefs have unexpected connections. What do an American loanshark, a Chinese activist and an Australian graffiti artist have in common? Is there admiration between hackers, ponzi schemers and whistleblowers? What vices are shared between the moneyed elite and weathered jailbirds? And what power structures control them all?
