Who is Beeple?

One of the originators of the current "everyday" movement in 3D graphics, he has been creating a picture everyday from start to finish and posting it online for over thirteen years without missing a single day.

Let's start with the $ 1 piece titled

“POLITICS IS BULLSHIT”

This is a really dope artwork! But the move to offer it at 1$ is next-level genius! Adds to the lore and the story behind it. Now if you combine this amazing description by the artist:

“ok first off it's a fucking dollar, if you need extra convincing from some BS artist's notes whether you want to spend a dollar on this i will punch you in the god damn face. smash the buy button ya jabroni.”

Spoken like a true degen, no wonder the NFT space loves him so much. The secondary market on this is already going insane!

Absolutely Brilliant!

Now moving into the main course:

“CROSSROAD”

&

“CRYPTO IS BULLSHIT”

... both being 1/1 editions in auction reached the price of 66.666 $ each. Very nice Halloween inspired amount and record breaking for NiftyGateway, the previous placeholder was Trevor Jones with 55.555$. Winner of the auction was Pablofr so he broke his own record because he is also the owner of ‘Picasso’s Bull’. Our crystal ball is predicting that the next amount to break this record will be 77.777$ or maybe 69.420$

What is revolutionary behind CROSSROAD is that the final artwork will change depending on the outcome of the U.S. election. So the owner doesn't really know which version he will end up getting.

Initial state:

So if Trump wins the artwork will be this:

If Biden wins:

And it all comes packaged with another absolutely wonderful description:
