LIL PUP CHRONICLES THE LIVED REALITIES OF MARTYRS AND OUTCASTS. 

THIS SERIES—HIS FIRST—WILL BE MADE UP OF 36 COLLECTIBLE PAINTINGS.

ON PEOPLE WHO LOVE LIFE, HOLD FAITH, AND SEEK TRUTH WITH CONVICTION, BUT FIND THEMSELVES CENSORED, SLANDERED, OR WORSE—IN MODERN BABYLON.

INSPIRED BY THE GNOSTIC WRITINGS OF PHILIP K. DICK AND NOAM CHOMSKY’S PROPAGANDA MODEL, LIL PUP USES A BRIGHT CARTOON STYLE TO BRING A SENSATION OF LEVITY AND HOPE TO ORWELLIAN THEMES SUCH AS SUPPRESSION OF SPEECH, PERSECUTION OF THOUGHTS, AND DENIAL OF REALITY.

AS CORPORATE MEDIA, TECH MONOPOLIES, AND AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENTS ACCELERATE THE SPEED AT WHICH THEY MANUFACTURE CONSENT—THIS DARK BUT TRIUMPHANT SERIES SYMBOLIZES THE PARTICIPATORY JOURNEY ONE MUST TAKE TO BREAK FREE FROM THE MATRIX.

As the global web3 community rallied to bid on a copy of the United States Constitution, this original piece represents the surprising universality of an enduring idea.

People from all walks of life—young and old, noob and maxi, American and not—came together to support a historic moment in community action.

And while ConstitutionDAO did not succeed in winning the Sotheby's auction, the idea lives on in the minds and hearts of the community's members.
