Creation
The crypto artist decided to accept the challenge posed by British artist Tom Judd because he was bored and tired of his profession as a web designer. This artist made the decision to finish a kind of creative notebook in which he would draw something fresh on each page each day.
Following this rigid regimen, he eventually produced "Everydays: the First 5000 Days," an entirely digital NFT piece that is composed of a mosaic of his first 5000 vector pictures and gifs (animated images).
Concept
This collection of digital photos spans his older works to his most recent ones and is arranged in chronological order.
