'Ashen As Adam' by Sam Spratt sells for $410,000 USDC to Jediwolf's overXposed collection from Lowkey Ventures via Gondi.
It is an all-time high for the 1/1/50 Skull of Luci collection, exceeding June's $360,000 USDC of 'Foreshadow'.
Jediwolf thanks Redbeard and Eli Scheinman for facilitating and Batsoupyum for sparking the passion.
Via Jediwolf:
"Collectors - and only collectors - know this feeling... when you love the art so much and after a long wait it finally 'happens'. That strange perfect blend - part euphoria, part disbelief - a moment when you merge with the art and the artist. Unity and beauty."
Via Sam Spratt:
"It's been beautiful from afar watching over the years Jedi move from distant bits of connection to curiosity to list making to eco-system breakdown charts recently getting a Mask, and now to this. An incredibly rewarding feeling comes from having support from deeply curious, persistent, and vocal translators as patrons. Go into the many corners of this space and you'll find few that embody that triad more than Jedi.
Thank you to Lowkey for being a beautiful steward of the Skull and continuing to support the largest reserve of Masks."

'The Expulsion from Heaven' by Alpha Centauri Kid sells for 50 ETH ($185,240 USD) to Michael.
The 1/1 artwork is described as "a biblical commission to be updated upon completion of the work".
Via Alpha Centauri Kid:
"normally i don't take on comissions but when Michael approached me with this particular idea, it struck a deep chord.
I saw a glimpse immediately and felt compelled by the chance to honor the great masters of old, those who often had no choice but to paint great biblical scenes."
Via Michael:
"I didn't think you would accept honestly haha, but if you don't ask you never know."

The Volume King is fully back (he never left, but you get the point).
In the early days of 24 Hours of Art, that's how I referred to Jack Butcher. Now, as the market continues to show Summer life, both the Checks and Opepen ecosystems are alive and attracting collectors.
Expand the dialogue to The Memes by 6529, and it's fascinating to watch robust collections be targeted. Collectors take different paths, based on both means and interest. Power Law artworks (NakamotoFreedom, Single Checks, Set 001s) are targeted, lowest access points are targeted, and sub communities and strong lore break out as well (Sgt. Pepe).
Today Reported:
