extremely and utterly and insanely THRILLED to announce The Grand Exhibition Everyday by @beeple is now in my collection!!!! Beeple was cool enough to agree to a trade for my Broken Key, Retro1969, which serendipitously is the Broken Key he featured in the scene!!! quick story.. a few weeks prior to the Grand Exhibition, that particular Broken Key came up for sale, Retro1969, (i just sold a few Muse prints so i had liquidity readily available) and i couldn't shake the feeling of needing to get this Broken Key back in my collection. this of course was all prior to me knowing Beeple would be making an Everyday about the Grand Exhibition... had no bloody idea at all. lo and behold, the day of the exhibition came and Beeple tweeted this out and for one, the honor i felt to see this is inexplicable. i can't put into words what i feel when i spend time with this Everyday. the entire scene and details, the skull lights, skull rocks, laserEyes, the Muse, "IN MUSE WE TRUST", max pain v2, the flowers, his version of the Grand Skull Piano, a.c.k. & Daughters, everything, it just blew my mind and still does to this day. it's no secret that Beeple's art is what onboarded me to this world, and to get to a place where i now own a Beeple 1 of 1 based on my art which somehow captures the essence of the thing i brought to life which took so much out of me, a grueling 2 year journey, is absolutely mental and seeing this piece from him on that day immediately took all my fear and anxiousness away and gave me peace. as weeks went on, i revisited the Everyday weekly just studying the work and appreciating it, and finally i built up the nerve to text him and propose the idea of trading Retro1969 for THE GRAND EXHIBITION Everyday, to which he said that's a great idea, and now here we are! so fucking stoked, there's no words really and i couldn't be more thrilled to finally own a work from the legend himself!!!
