Mike Winkelmann, known professionally as Beeple, is an American digital artist, graphic designer, and animator who has gained worldwide recognition for his groundbreaking work in the field of digital art. Winkelmann has been creating art for more than a decade and is best known for his "Everydays" project, in which he creates a new piece of digital art every day.

Winkelmann's art often portrays dystopian futures and uses recognizable figures from popular culture and politics to satirize current events. His art has been incorporated into Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2019 ready-to-wear collection and has been exhibited at various art galleries and museums around the world.

Winkelmann gained widespread attention in March 2021 when his NFT associated with the "Everydays" series sold for $69 million in cryptocurrency. This sale set a new record for the highest price paid for a digital artwork, making Winkelmann one of the most successful digital artists of all time.

Despite his success, Winkelmann remains committed to pushing the boundaries of digital art and continues to challenge himself creatively through his ongoing "Everydays" project. His innovative work has inspired a new generation of artists and has helped to elevate digital art to a level of recognition and respect that was previously thought to be unattainable.
