I think 0.02BTC might be just be high enough that anyone interested might rather wait for the last minute and then bid.
0.02 BTC doesn't seem like much if we look just in BTC, but at a time when the price is going up like this, most people probably perceive the price in fiat currencies and wonder how much that 0.02 will be worth in a week or a month. In any case, we will see if someone will want the artwork badly enough to pay the asking price for it.
Of course there is also the problem of privacy, few will agree to give their personal data - unless you already have experience with sending packages to a PO Box or something similar?
I'll also say I'm pretty confident this particular piece will gain in value over time and I've no problem hodling on to it for a year or two. 
Why not - art usually gains in value over time, like BTC and good wine
Privacy is solved as part of mutual business agreement - both parties respect this aspect.
I've so far shared with 50+ buyers and so far there have been no breaches.
Maybe I was lucky so far, but people around here (/Collectibles) seem like solid, trustworthy folks.
Here in the collectibles board we buy and sell items regularly and share our private names and addresses
with other users, all of whom are regularly buying/selling and giving their names and addresses -privately-
[I would hope that everyone has deleted/erased those details?] Personally I have dealt with Cyrus, minerjones,
MoparMiningLLC, tweetious, owlcatz and others and always have to ask for their addresses over and over
because I dont keep them.
Anyway the biggest issue with original art on the large side is transport, the ideal scenario is to collect
in person I would think.
As an aside - with this project from 1dq there has been more traffic through the collectibles board
which is all good, I wonder how many are tempted to stick around and see what treasures there is
on offer?
I am a reborn Bitcoin artist, and I’m from Planet Earth, nothing to hide.
I also ship large artworks, usually to members of a trusted community I’ve built over time. If trust is an issue, you can use an escrow service to handle the transaction, but you need to trust the escrow not to reveal your address. So far, this system has worked fine.
I once had a collector who was extremely private, and shipping to him wasn’t an option due to his concerns about privacy, he didn’t want anyone tracking postboxes, regions, or anything like that. In the end, he gifted the artwork instead.
Another option is to attend the conferences where I showcase my art.
You can purchase directly there without sharing any personal details. And don’t worry, my memory isn’t the best after my brain surgery, so I tend to forget things anyway! The only exception might be if I do a quick sketch of you for my records. 😊
) I'm a designer on this forum too and off the forum and the fact is what makes an art more interesting is detail. At first the art was nice to me because it was a painting and not a regular sketch. I made it my wallpaper and later on I happened to stumble across it on my phone and I viewed it for a couple of minutes and damn there was a hell lot of detail in it.
I'm not a merit source and I'll definitely need these smerits for the end of year contests on my local board. Before then please complete this statement;
