Jake Fried Hits Deep
'The Deep End' by Jake Fried sells for 35 ETH ($82,086 USD) to CryptoTaxGuy via AOTM Gallery.
The collector acquires a 1/1 artwork from Fried less than a week after finishing runner up in offers for 'Paper Trail' in its journey out of the AOI Collection.
Via CryptoTaxGuy: "[The artwork] is a phantasmagoric dive into the tension between creation and collapse. 1500 frames—rendered in ink, whiteout, and coffee—depict a protagonist consumed by trains, planes, pills, tobacco, and other vices.
I'm very proud to vault this 1/1."
Unfortunate Aberration
By far (it's not close) the least favorite thing to report is a wallet compromise. The fallout is immense, and it affects many, none more than the compromised and the artist.
'Primary Aberration' - 1 of 50 'Skulls of Luci' - by Sam Spratt is sold for 50 WETH and again for 65 ETH after being taken from vkgeth.
It currently sits in an anonymous wallet containing it and a V1 CryptoPunk.

RD Report
The dark side to market go up. Assets become more attractive and valuable. Attack vectors are pursued. Activity, clicks, and transactions increase.
I have no idea what led to the Skull. I have no idea how much of a role the above played in the AOI story.
What I do know is that the above is the current cost of being at the bleeding edge. It will change. Slowly. Maybe eventually all at once. Tech, marketplace standards, custody solutions, and more will be in the mix.
Until then, be safe and take care of yourself and one another.
Want a silver lining for the day?
Look no further than Jake Fried. A less than ideal situation (AOI artwork) less than one week ago turns into back-to-back sales and a surge of attention on his exceptional work. Things can change fast... either way. Pursue the bright side of that equation.
