Right-click and Save As guy

Among the first artists to embark on SuperRare and set sail into the crypto art seas, XCOPY has maintained his bold, unmistakable style throughout his whole production, using the immediacy of glitch to critique contemporary issues and attitudes. "Right-click and Save As guy" makes no exception: thanks to the work's witty title, the roughly traced subject is seen as an item to be collected, the figure of a generic "guy" one will probably download and make nothing of in the future."Why would I buy it when I can right click and save as?" reads the artwork's caption, clarifying how the work reflects on the very nature of crypto art.
