He gained widespread recognition in the crypto and NFT communities for selling a digital artwork NFT for a record-breaking $69 million at a Christie\u2019s auction in March 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s take a look at \u201cEverydays.\u201d Essentially, \u201cEverydays\u201d is a project where Beeple creates and shares a new digital artwork every day. Beeple started this project on May 1, 2007, and has continued it ever since. Each artwork is created using digital tools such as 3D modeling software, motion graphics, and digital drawing. The artwork often features surreal, sci-fi, and dystopian themes. The \u201cEverydays\u201d project has gained Beeple a large following and has been instrumental in establishing him as a prominent digital artist in the industry.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"The_Long_Road_Puzzle_and_the_Mystery_of_Artifact_51\">The Long Road Puzzle and the Mystery of #Artifact 51<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Beeple and Christie\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/beeple-studios-grand-opening-held-on-anniversary-of-everydays-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hosted the grand opening<\/a> of Beeple Studios in Charleston, South Carolina on March 11, 2023. At the event, Beeple performed a Live Everyday Performance. He also created 50 Everyday Artifacts and one of his famous \u201cEverydays\u201d, named Long Road. Additionally, attendees were in for a treat as each completed artwork was \u2018airdropped\u2019 via printers hidden in the gallery ceiling. Over 900 prints were produced, each containing a unique printout with a valuable red dot that could be exchanged for an <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/what-is-nft-art-and-how-do-i-get-involved\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFT<\/a> in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Beeple added the Long Road NFT to his \u201cEverydays\u201d collection. He updated metadata for all NFTs in the Everyday Artifacts collection. Interestingly, this also included a mysterious all-black PNG titled \u201c???\u201d as the #51 Artifact. The new addition sparked a frenzy among puzzle enthusiasts trying to decipher its meaning. Interestingly, the Long Road NFT has not been claimed, leading to rampant speculation in the NFT community.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-text__subscribe\">\n<div id=\"mlb2-5802138\" class=\"ml-form-embedContainer ml-subscribe-form ml-subscribe-form-5802138\">\n<div class=\"ml-form-align-center\">\n<div class=\"ml-form-embedWrapper embedForm\">\n<div class=\"ml-form-embedBody ml-form-embedBodyHorizontal row-form\">\n<div class=\"ml-form-embedContent\" style=\"\">\n<h4><span id=\"Join_Our_New_To_The_Moon_daily_Newsletter\">Join Our New &#8220;To The Moon&#8221; daily Newsletter<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Get our free, 5 minutes daily newsletter.
