Beeple<\/a> (aka Mike Winkleman) broke worldwide digital art records with his collage entitled \u201cEverydays: The First 5,000 Days.\u201d The NFT was sold to Vignesh Sundaresan\u2014aka @Metakovan\u2014for $69 million<\/em> on March 11, 2021. The following week, in a down-to-the-wire bidding war, Beeple sold another piece of his artwork. This time Justin Sun, founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency platform, Tron<\/a>, paid $6 million. 100% of Beeple’s profits are being donated to help offset NFT\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our host, Cirina Catania<\/a>, has been a Beeple fan for years and was very pleased when he agreed, at NAB 2019, to take a break from his presentations in the Cinema 4D booth to speak with her. They had an interesting and very candid conversation about his life as a creator, family man, and \u2026 well\u2026 a bit of a rebel behind his prolific Cinema4D art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
