Owning aBored Ape Yacht Club NFTputs a target on your back for scammers and hackers, especially if you're high profile. Steven Galanis, the co-founder and CEO of the Cameo app, was victim to a crypto hack on Saturday, according to Gelanis, resulting in the loss of several NFTs, including a Bored Ape, and over $70,000-worth of cryptocurrency.

All up, over $200,000-worth of crypto assets were taken. Gelanis' Bored Ape, which records show hebought for $319,000 in January, was stolen andimmediately sold for $130,000. In addition to several other NFTs, including a fewOtherdeed land NFTs for Yuga Labs' upcoming Bored Ape Yacht Club metaverse game. Gelanis was also robbed of$69,000-worthof the Ape Coin cryptocurrency and just under $4,000 in ether.

Cameo is an app that allows you to buy personalized video messages from thousands of celebrities, such as Caitlyn Jenner, Lindsay Lohan and Ice T. Cameo was a hit during the first year of COVID,generating over $100 million in 2020, though itcut 25% of its workforce back in May.

Gelanis said on Twitter that his crypto wallet was hacked through his Apple iCloud account. He offered no more details, but itwouldn't be the first time. In April, it was discovered that using the MetaMask wallet on an iPhone automatically leads to your seed phrase, the 12-word password required to log into a crypto wallet, to be backed up on the attached iCloud account. Accessing someone's iCloud can mean accessing their seed phrase, which gives complete control of the related crypto wallet account. In April, a man lost $650,000-worth of crypto and NFTs due to having his iCloud compromised.

"Already $650,000 stolen from a single individual and it's going to happen to a lot more people,"a blockchain investigator wrote at the time.

José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.
