You may not have heard of Beeple, but as Ron Burgundy would say, he’s kind of a big deal right now.
Mike Winkelmann is a digital artist known as Beeple. His works are hitting record prices at auctions, due to a new technology called NFTs (or non-fungible tokens). NFTs are basically a way for people to agree that a digital image is owned by someone.
Beeple has been making headlines because of the prices he is getting for his art and because he’s riding the NFT wave. But I want to highlight another fact I find even more incredible.
Beeple has created a unique piece of digital art every day since 1 May 2007.
Every.
Single.
Day.
The funny thing is he can’t point to other routines in his life of this magnitude.
But he committed to making art every day to perfect his craft, and the guy who has created over 5,000 pieces is now an overnight success.
