Pioneering Digital Patronage - Don’t just be a collector, #BecomeAPatron.
The Underground Sistine Chapel Movie is the worlds first 100% crypto funded documentary. It follows the story of French artist Pascal Boyart @pascalboyart, known as PBoy, in his adventure to transform an abandoned gold foundry on the outskirts of Paris into what he calls a “modern Sistine Chapel”.
As part of the movie release, PBoy has teamed up with Yohann and Antoine from Samouraï Coop @samouraicoop to explore new ways for avid fans and collectors to show their support for the Underground Sistine project and the documentary. From rare cards to directors cuts to exclusive movie tickets, the film gives birth to more than 200 collectibles that are all available in a pre-sale event exclusively on our platform. Rare cards are already being snapped up by eager collectors, so make sure to sign up to our platform and explore the collection.

Things You Might Have Missed
‘Rick and Morty’ Creator Selling His First Painting
Justin Roiland @JustinRoiland, co-creator of popular animated series Rick and Morty, is selling his first painting on Sotheby’s @Sothebys. The acrylic painting titled ‘mypeoplefriend’ features a collage of colourful faces embracing his signature cartoon imagery that is both “humorous and childish”. The piece sold at auction for an impressive $56,700.
Previously, Roiland had auctioned off a collection of unseen original drawings which sold for roughly $1.65 million. All proceeds from the sale went to aid homeless encampments in Los Angeles. To see more information about the auction, visit the artwork listing here.
Tyson Fury $1 Million NFT Auction
Legendary boxer Tyson Fury @Tyson_Fury is featured in one of the highest-selling sport NFTs ever, ‘Lineal by Tyson Fury’, selling to collector BAPE for almost $1 million. The unique one-of-a-kind NFT features the ‘Gypsy King’ himself holding the lineal heavyweight championship belt.
Tyson Fury said "Huge thanks to all of the bidders, buyers, and the platform, HoDooi.com, for this NFT drop! It was great working with the HoDooi team and I'm happy we are all a part of history with one of the highest bids on a single sporting NFT!".

Steve Jobs Application NFT Auction
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is having his first job application being auctioned off as an NFT. The original typewritten paper document and the digital version will be sold to the highest bidder in a world-first auction of this kind.
The document itself lists his early interests and skills, noting his experience with computers, calculators, design and electronics tech. The job application itself is a look into history, just one year before he met fellow Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Ahead of the auction, Joshi, the current owner of the document, said he hopes the lot "will be a massive proof point for NFTs and their role in culture".
