'First Impressions' by mendezmendez closes in auction for 46.27 ETH total with SuperRare.
'Eternal Sunset' is high mark in the 20 artwork collection, merging Impressionism with digital animation. It sells for 5 ETH to overflowing as 1 of 5 artworks acquired by the collector.
One secondary sale is in for 2.2 ETH to overflowing, and there is a standing 2 ETH collection offer.
Via mendezmendez:
"i’m incredibly grateful for the energy and support, never felt anything like this before... i can only make one guarantee and that is to continue showing up every single day with a new piece of art in my quest to explore and discover novel ways of expression through my art practice."
What a day for mendezmendez. It might sound silly, but sometimes you can feel kinetic energy of the social hivemind rallying around someone or something. A leap for an artist relentlessly focused on his craft. A sight to behold for a new body of work, sometimes a notion that feels risky.
It was heartbreaking to witness traffic crash the site down the stretch and affect two handfuls of auctions. In the aftermath, you do the best you can. Mendezmendez handled it like a true pro, expressing regret for his collectors. SuperRare said no excuses and waived their fees. Collectors got busy on secondary, putting in collection offers and making gestures of their own. Here is IanIV re-opening a secondary auction with intention to send profits to mendezmendez.
Onward. Have an inspired weekend! I'll be drawing a strong dose from one of my favorite artists and humans having a moment, likely not his last.
