Beeple, the digital artist responsible for several high-profile sales of NFT crypto art, continues his dominance of the market with a massive sale at Christie's auction house in New York. Earlier today, Beeple, whose real name is Mike Winkelmann, sold his work "Everydays: The First 5,000 Days" for $69,346,250. Nice.

After the sale, Beeple had two words for Twitter.


NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, have rocked the art world over the past few months, with some high-profile collaborations between digital artists and celebrities. Yesterday, Azaelia Banks and Ryder Rips, the artist who takes credit for popularizing the Deal With It glasses as a meme, sold an audio sex tape of the two of them as an NFT for $18,000.

Beeple, however, emerged as the leader of the art movement last year, grabbing headlines with massive sales for works of art that can only be viewed through a screen. In December, he sold an animated digital piece of a bloated infantilized Donald Trump covered in garbage and graffiti for $6.6 million.


Beeple's work, "Everydays," is 13-and-a-half years in the making. Beginning on May 1st, 2007, the artist posted a new piece of digital art online every day for more than a decade. "Everdays" is a digital collage of those efforts, which include at least one digital rendering of Kim Jong Un addressing troops while wearing thong underwear, a Buzz Lightyear chest plate (complete with large female breasts) and a Pickachu mask with the mouth cut out to reveal the North Korean leader's face.

He published his final entry for "Everydays" on January 7th, 2021.
