Mike Winkelmann
BEEPLE IS MIKE WINKELMANN.
Beeple is Mike Winkelmann, a graphic designer from Charleston, SC, USA who does a variety of digital artwork including short films, Creative Commons VJ loops, everydays and VR / AR work.
Beeple was born in June 1981 in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, USA and graduated from Purdue University in 2003 with a degree in computer science. He chose the name Beeple after a 1980’s yeti-like toy with a light-up nose, a vague reference to the art he was creating at the time.
After he began releasing a set of widely used Creative Commons VJ loops he has worked on concert visuals for Justin Bieber, One Direction, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Zedd, deadmau5 and many more.
One of the originators of the current “everyday” movement in 3D graphics, he has been creating a picture everyday from start to finish and posting it online for over ten years without missing a single day.
Beeple sold millions in digital art in a singular weekend. Unlike traditional art, which requires an artist to go through many hoops and hurdles just to get their art sold, NFTs hold a unique place. Beeple said it himself, “Anyone can list their art on the OpenSea and sell it.”
