The creator of the first NFT ever is launching a new collection today.

On Jan 20, 2012 Ryan Bell inscribed a base64 string on Namecoin. Upon decompression, it shows a pixelated derivative of the iconic Fuckyea meme. Fully onchain, fully recoverable. 

It was not until two months ago that @punk3606  identified Ryan Bell as the creator and published his findings online.

Since that early Fuckyea inscription, Ryan’s work has appeared on Art Blocks, Proof, and Prohibition. His latest collection, Duality of Zed, is launching at 17:00 CET on fxhash. Link in the next post.
