This monograph brings together Beeple’s first 5,000 images, created and posted daily by the artist since May 2007, and also features an interview with the author wherein he reflects on his career and newfound celebrity.

In doing that, he built an incredible community of fans, becoming one the biggest visual artists on social media, with 1.7 million followers on Instagram and more than 500,000 on Facebook, and establishing an important presence on other platforms.Mixing classic sci-fi themes, pop culture characters, and political satire, Winkelmann’s daily posts are liked and shared by thousands of people. Beeple: Everydays, the First 5000 Images is his debut monograph and features the 5,000 images he has created from the debut of his career through the first days of 2021. This is the book his fans have been asking him to create for years. |
