I've started painting some CryptoPunks in order to represent them in the physical world as original objects, or original copies in this case. They are a lot of fun and I think look quite cool. So I'll keep making them most likely. They are relics in many ways, perhaps even reverse relics? Here is Alien CryptoPunk #4334 is 12" by 12" inches, oil paint on canvas. Completed by Samuel Holt (2017) in Brooklyn, NY.
CryptoPunks are digitally rare objects. They exist as a set of 10,000 on the Ethereum Blockchain. They were released and claimed by the lucky few, and a market around the ownership of punks has emerged. One might think the concept too meta for actual value, but markets defy! Will the ecosystem continue to develop. Check them out here:
