Inspired by Beeple

You've probably heard about the record-breaking sale of a digital artwork in 2021 for $69 million… But do you know the artist behind the work that shook up the entire art market? Mike Winkelmann is a South Carolina resident, living in the heart of suburbia, father of two children, and husband to a school teacher. At first glance, Winkelmann lives a quintessential, white-picket-fence life and yet there's much more to Winkelmann than meets the eye. Put two and two together and you find out he lives a double life under the alias Beeple as a digital artist extraordinaire. 

One of the earliest adopters of the NFT, Beeple began his most famous project, the digital art series “Everydays" in 2007. The title is to be interpreted literally as a compilation of images from everyday of Beeple's life over the span of several years. Emblematic moments in his life such as his own wedding, or the births of his two children can be seen in Beeple's most committed digital art project. The amassing of memories is brought together as a pixelated digital NFT.

Beeple's success story holds a powerful message. Ordinary people have the right to achieve the extraordinary and possess the ability to alter traditional industries. Now it's time for you to dive even deeper into the emerging world of NFTs. Artsper has curated a collection of artworks inspired by the burgeoning world of NFT art and the explosive career of digital artist Mike Winkelmann for you to glance at at your own convenience.
