730 Days after the first, MrY drops his 100th artwork on SuperRare

Artwork Number 1 was minted at 10:10 AM and back then I had no idea what was going on. I heard from a co-worker that there is this new thing called “CryptoArt” and SuperRare is the number one platform for that.

Well, two years in the crypto space or even on the Internet in general are like two years in real life. Everything here is fast. But I don’t feel old yet, being an artist on SuperRare for exactly 2 years on March 31st 2021.

Artwork Number 1 was minted at 10:10 AM and back then I had no idea what was going on. I heard from a co-worker that there is this new thing called “CryptoArt” and SuperRare is the number one platform for that.

There were around 100 Artists max. In those days an X-Copy art cost like 90 USD.

When I started I created fractals, 3D fractals with the data of ETH Blocks and named the artworks after the blocks. So “BLOCK 7839556” was my first minted artwork – and got sold for 0.35 ETH (93 USD).

Since then, many things happened. SuperRare got bigger and way more popular, I minted close to 100 artworks and learned a lot of new things. I built a community and friends. Great.

Now it is time for the next step: Artwork Number 100

This artwork was minted exactly 2 years or 730 days after my first artwork and it represents the past.

It will be auctioned off and all proceeds will go towards a gift for my wife for our 10th wedding anniversary – happening on June 11th.

So basically you, the collectors, are deciding what the present will look like: a box of chocolate or a rolex 🙂
