Beeple Pooh Times Two

'WOKE POOH' by Beeple is privately acquired by collectors forcethehabit and NickW. Twice!

The artwork is the first collected as both a still 'Beeple: Everydays' as well as an 'Everydays in Motion'.

'WOKE POOH' was originally created on July 20, 2018 as Everyday #4098.

Via Beeple:
"one of the first pieces I did about AI getting out of control, a theme that has only become more relevant in the six years since it was first made"

The collectors called the work "quintessentially Beeple" and from their desired era of creation.

Here is yesterday's full story thread with a few extra details.

Player by Sam Spratt

RD Report

An exciting 24 hours across digital art.

Private acquisitions, primary releases, several top Art Blocks, two Grifters, and a Player.

Productive discussion has been sparked around this Pablo Fraile post on the role and structure of platforms, as well as this announcement of the 2025 alliance between Fellowship and ARTXCODE. The latter is one of the few results producing examples the current art market has to lean on when it comes to artist support and distribution. Worth thinking about.
