Highest Last Sale
His highest selling NFT on Opensea is the Change Your Stars which sold for 1.9ETH . The "Change Your Stars" was motivated by Heath Ledger's outstanding performance in "A Knights Tale." Heath's father informs him throughout the movie that despite coming from a poor home, he has the power to alter his destiny and "stars." In achieving his destiny, Heath turns into a knight. Because of the valiant and almost impossible task that David had to do in order to defeat Goliath, the artist chose David to represent the figure. The purpose of this artwork is to remember the events that occurred and transformed his life; And just in case you missed it today, CHANGE YOUR STARS!
