0xdgb is an anonymous digital artist working exclusively in Adobe Illustrator, with a minimalist style built around a recurring security-camera figure he has described as a personification of the constant surveillance of digital life.He has more than a decade of experience in illustration and graphic design,and holds a bachelor's degree in graphic design.
0xdgb discovered NFTs in 2021, around the time of Beeple's $69 million sale, and spent about eighteen months watching the space and occasionally trading before he began minting his own work.He minted his first pieces in October 2022, after his job was cut to part time.,
His pieces are often self-referential, breaking the fourth wall to show a third-person view of his own creative process. In Self Portrait, the security camera appears as an art installation inside a gallery. In Manifesting Dreams he paid tribute to fellow artists and friends Terrell Jones and Grant Yun.In March 2023 he auctioned the eighth and final piece of a connected SuperRare series through Sotheby's digital arm, Sotheby's Metaverse.
0xdgb's series Rooms is a generative 1/1/x collection built on Transient Labs' ERC-7160 contract, in which fifty-five different rooms are randomly assembled from hundreds of items, traits and attributes once a door opens. Because the contract supports dynamic, multi-metadata tokens, collectors may find new items appearing in their Rooms over time.Alongside making art, 0xdgb also collects it, and has said he considers himself an artist first, buying work from both established and lesser-known artists he connects with.
