24 HOURS OF ART: Wednesday Highlights
Digital Art Headlines, Market Highlights, and Analysis from 7/9 - 7/10
All-Time High Pebbles
‘Pebbles’ 1/1/1k by Zeblocks with NextGen 6529 has a new all-time high as ‘Pebbles #11’ sells for 18.9 WETH to punksladsmemes.eth from Poseidonnftfund.
The artwork has a Magma Mambo Palette trait. This marks the Palette’s first ever sale (after mint) and with only 5 total, it is tied for rarest in the collection.
Via punk6529:
“Buyer appears to be on a mission for a complete vertical set of pebbles. Impressive. Only 5 are possible.”
Handmade Machines
‘nullMachines’ by Kerim Safa & loackme concludes its sale with Verse. Ultimately it becomes as a 1/1/257 with each selling for $100 and the collection totaling $25,700.
Today collectors are airdropped a unique 1/1/64 ‘nullMachines++, 2024’ for every 3 ‘nullMachines’ acquired.
Quote from loackme via Dr Mimi Nguyen:
“The way the machines are built is by stitching together hand-drawn tiles that Kerim Safa made by placing pixels by hand. We have 30 by 30 px tiles that we stitch together with an algorithm called Wave Function Collapse.”

Closing Thoughts
The difference a single collector can make in a collection is astonishing. Right now there are few better examples than punksladsmemes.eth within Pebbles. At least 39 Pebbles are held across 2 wallets, including (seemingly) a quest for all Palettes, which has set multiple all-time highs. Singular conviction is a beautiful thing to behold.
