Who are the "BFD" crew?
Where NYC's Concrete Canvas - Meets Crypto.
Forget your fancy Lambos and moon trips, this NFT ain't about that. This is about the grimy underbelly, the pulse of the city through plastic veins. I mean, "It's Just a Bag", and it's the first of many collections to come, straight outta the shadows of the legendary BFD Gang – NYC's street art enigma that's been sprayin' its soul across the five boroughs for three decades.
Think hundreds of anonymous artists, each one a whisper in the concrete jungle, their stories scrawled on bodega walls and subway tunnels. Think late-night raids, adrenaline-pumpin' drops, and canvases that vanish in the blink of a cop's flashlight. This ain't no curated gallery, this is raw, unfiltered New York, bottled in plastic and dipped in crypto.
Why, "It's Just A Bag" you ask?
Why the bag? It's an icon of NYC. It's the unsung canvas, the universal symbol of struggle and hope. Everyone uses one, from Wall Street wolves to bodega dreamers. It's a temporary companion, always there, yet easily discarded, forgotten, replaced. In this impermanence, CIKA finds beauty. They celebrates the forgotten corners, the fleeting moments of humanity that blossom even in the cracks of concrete.
Meet CIKA, the enigmatic street artist behind the 'It's Just A Bag" collection. A member of the iconic street art group BFD, CIKA is a true urban storyteller. CIKA doesn't crave spotlights or gallery walls. Instead, think of them as a chameleon, blending into the shadows while their art shouts from rooftops and freight trains. CIKA may be anonymous, but the message is clear. So, if you find yourself clutching one of these plastic prayers, owning a piece of CIKA's art, remember they aren't just pixels on a screen. It's a promise to keep the city's soul from fading into monochrome, a silent oath whispered on subways to create, and to keep it moving.
