Ripcache Firsts
‘justice’ by ripcache is acquired for 2.6 BTC (~$166k USD) by Rat G. It is the genesis inscription in the artist’s new Ordinal collection ‘hyperscalers’.
Via ripcache:
“[justice] represents a series of significant firsts in my artistic practice:
- a composition that unites all of my past and present subject matter - drones, swarm bots and security cams
- first true 1/1 on bitcoin in my signature style (and first of '24)
- a canvas resolution of 1024x1024 pixels (the equivalent pixel count of 4 of my previous 1/1s in a single composition)”
New Meat Manager
‘after the ethanol stopped burning’ 1/1 artwork by Die With The Most Likes sells for 10 ETH to Etherean007 via AOTM Gallery.
Via Etherean007:
“Been sleeping on [DWTML] for too long. Between the meat, tech, climate change, dystopian vibe his work gives off… I needed a piece before these become hard to come by.”
“a tepid welcome to the birth of a new decaying meat manager. taking their rightful place on a severely soiled seat of a mega bus with no destination. thank you for finding something in this carrion world. this perpetual plummet.”
