Bordalo II Animated Project
A. L. Crego posted animations of Bordalo II’s street works — the project covers over 200 pieces animated with the artist’s permission and returns 51% of sales to the creators. (x.com) The post itself showed light engagement (around 3 likes) but the scale and revenue‑share model are designed to funnel cash back to street artists. (x.com)
A.L. Crego’s own Tumblr describes a planned collection of 300 one‑of‑one GIF artworks designed to be minted directly to the Ethereum blockchain under a custom ERC‑721 contract. (alcrego.tumblr.com)) Crego’s GIPHY channel lists roughly 478 uploads and shows total views in the hundreds of millions, with the profile reporting about 684.4 million GIF views. (giphy.com)) Major arts outlets covered Crego’s practice as early as 2015, when ArchDaily documented a project that converted 20 physical murals into animated GIFs, demonstrating his long track record of animating street art. (archdaily.com)) NFT listings and drop trackers record Crego’s move into Web3; NFTCalendar notes he launched a “Digital Public Space” collection on MakersPlace in spring 2021 that included collaborations with street artists such as Aryz, Phlegm, Sokram and Faith47. (nftcalendar.io)) The artist whose works were animated, Bordalo II (Artur Bordalo), is documented as having created roughly 200 trash‑made animal sculptures and to have repurposed tens to hundreds of tons of waste across projects between 2012 and 2022. (en.wikipedia.org)) Auction records and market listings show Bordalo II’s commercial presence: Invaluable lists auction estimates and sales for his works, including listings dated March 31, 2025 with estimates in the mid‑five figures in euros.
