ON MARCH 4TH, 2022 I WOKE UP TO TRAGIC NEWS THAT OUR FELLOW CRYPTOART COLLEAGUE ALOTTA MONEY(PHILLIPE) PASSED AWAY DUE TO CANCER. HE WILL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS THE QUINTESSENTIAL CRYPTOART 'O.G.' CONSTANTLY AMAZING ALL OF US WITH HIS MULTI-FACETED CRYPTOART ABILITIES. I BEGAN TO SEE HIS PROWESS WHILST BEING IN THE PROTO METAVERSE KNOWN AS CRYPTOVOXELS, A VIRTUAL WORLD WHERE YOU COULD ACQUIRE PLOTS OF LAND AND BUILD WHATEVER YOU COULD DREAM OF IN MINECRAFT STYLE ENVIRONMENT. HE WAS BUILDING THE MOST EXTRAVAGANT PLOTS OF LAND AND WAS TESTING THE LIMITS OF IT'S BUILD CAPABILITIES, A BUSY BEE HE WAS AND I NOTICED IT IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN HE FINALLY ARRIVED ON SUPERRARE, THAT'S WHEN WE ALL BEGAN TO SEE HOW TALENTED HE TRULY WAS. HE RECONSTRUCTED AND REMIXED OLD ART CLASSICS WITH A ZEST OF COMEDY AND FUTURIST FLAIR WITH A TOUCH OF HIS MONTY PYTHON INFLUENCED ANIMATIONS. I USED TO THINK OF ALOTTA AS OUR PERSONAL MONTY PYTHON OF THE FUTURE AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO CRYPTOART WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. AS I TYPE THIS I WEEP BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH THE NFT SPACE HAS CHANGED THE WORLD, IT CAN BE TRACED TO INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS HIM AND HIS WELCOMING PERSONALITY TO BRING MORE TO THE NEW DIGITAL RENAISSANCE PARTY WE ALL KNEW WAS HAPPENING DURING THOSE CRUCIAL YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT.

THIS PIECE IS MADE IN HONOR OF HIS NOTORIOUS PROFILE PIC THAT HAS THE FOUR EYES INSTEAD OF TWO OF JOHN CLEESE'S CHARACTER 'MR. TEABAG, MINISTER OF SILLY WALKS' WITH A TOP HAT. ALOTTA MONEY, WE LOVE YOU MAN AND SAY HELLO TO JOHN MCAFEE FOR US SINCE WE KNOW YOU'RE ALREADY PARTYING UP THERE WITH HIM IN THE ASTRAL PLANE. WE'LL BE DOWN HERE HOLDING THE CRYPTOART TORCH AS BEST WE CAN FOR YA. TILL NEXT TIME MY GOOD FRIEND. AU REVOIR. XOXO
