Beeple Shares His Creative Process

Are you interested in NFT art: making it or collecting it? Or, are you an artist seeking artist career advice?

Digital artist Beeple, who became the first NFT artist to have work sold at Christie’s – for $69 million – is here to inspire you!

Beeple is Mike Winkelmann, a graphic designer from Charleston, SC, USA who does a variety of digital artwork including short films, Creative Commons VJ loops, everydays and VR / AR work.

One of the originators of the current "everyday" movement in 3D graphics, Beeple has been creating a picture everyday from start to finish and posting it online for over ten years without missing a single day. He became one of the most expensive living artists in the world when he sold Everydays: The First 5,000 Days (2021) at Christie’s for $69 million. The sale was groundbreaking: Not only had the work fetched such a price, the piece also effectively induced NFT fever within the art world.

In this quick career talk, Beeple talks about:

- Where he finds inspiration;
- The aspect of his creativity as a political cartoonist;
- His creative process and motivation;
- Dealing with self-criticism;
- How deadlines drive his efficiency and self-management;
- And why everyday day and the discipline of daily art is a great motivator.
