24 HOURS OF ART: Friday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 12/12 - 12/13
The Ink Dries
The dust has settled on ‘Latent Ink’ by Eko33 with Fellowship and ARTXCODE, and as of last night Fellowship estimates the final result at 370 ETH or $1.44M. That makes it the highest primary art sale of the calendar year.
18 additional secondary sales are in for 24.23 ETH, with collection list now at 1.75 ETH.
Via Fellowship:
“Slow, paced and with beautiful energy, we’re grateful to share that all Latent Ink artworks have found a collector.
Thank you to everyone who engaged with this project, whether by collecting, sharing, or simply exploring the works. This collection of 500 pieces—a blend of AI-driven techniques, generative algorithms, and hand-crafted refinement—was a deeply thoughtful collaboration between human intuition and machine precision…
Most importantly, we want to say congratulations to EKO on doing a project that pushed your artistic concepts to a new place.”
Punk X Micro
Micro-Uniform Scale ‘Fidenza #803’ is now in the collection of Punk4945 via a trade brokered by Eli Scheinman.

Anchor Heartbreak
The wallet of Anchor Drops is victim to a heartbreaking hack, with two ‘Skulls of Luci’ and a 1/1 artwork by Sam Spratt, among many other artworks and BTC, transferred out. Each Skull subsequently sells for 25 WETH.
No pictures or extra words are necessary here. Our heart goes out to Anchor, and we are rooting for some form of resolution as time passes. Stay safe.
