The Blind Cartographer Marks Another Altar

'Skulls of Luci' and 'Masks of Luci' move in tandem as 'The Blind Cartographer' diptych sells for 100 ETH ($194,000 USD) to yappenheimer.eth from OtherWorld.

Here is a fun deep cut. Just prior to unveiling The Monument Game in August, 2023, Sam Spratt hosted a late night Q&A. Jessica Cardelucci posed this question: "Favorite Luci Skull and why". Spratt's reply: "I hesitated on picking and almost copped out on choosing my wifes', but goin to go with: The Blind Cartographer. It is a central unseen character in Luci, and is an operating force in my life."

The character is referred to in the psalm of 1/1 artwork 'V. Map to Wander':

"When right light hits the prints left beyond the glass
The Blind Cartographer marks another altar"

The Doomed (black & red) by XCOPY

RD Report

Art is moving.

Secondary "grail" acquisitions are in full swing as Autoglyphs, Skulls, Fidenzas, and XCOPY have all seen ample attention this past week. Nod to CryptoPunks too, of course.

How about the primary Ordinal effort of artist Rupture, who looks poised to push towards 5 BTC when all is said and done.

Also on primary Infinite Garden looks qualitatively exceptional and is worth digging into. ARTXCODE and Fellowship are on the way next two days.


Today Reported:
Sales thresholds of 3 ETH+ Collection, 0.25 ETH+ 1/1, 0.69 ETH+ 1/1/X, and 0.25 ETH+ Edition
