Bio
ROBNESS is a California-based digital artist who began minting on Bitcoin's Counterparty protocol in 2016 and became an original contributor to the Rare Pepe card collection, an early proof of concept for non-fungible tokens. In 2020 he tokenized 64 GALLON TOTER, a GIF of a trash bin taken from the Home Depot website, and its removal from the platform SuperRare launched the #trashart movement he helped originate.
His interest in visual and audio aesthetics began at twelve, sparked by buying the Velvet Underground & Nico album for its Andy Warhol cover art. In 2019 he began working with the platforms SuperRare, KnownOrigin and OpenSea, entering a period shaped by the vaporwave music scene.
