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.

That's good to know, and I think people often wonder how to buy something physical while remaining as anonymous as possible. In any case, it's good that you haven't had any problems so far, I hope it will be like that in the future.

~snip~
Anyway the biggest issue with original art on the large side is transport, the ideal scenario is to collect
in person I would think.

That's something I would be personally concerned about if I were to buy something like this piece of art. I had some bad experiences with various deliveries because some packages arrived in such bad condition that I had to refuse to take them - which is not a problem if it is something that is replaceable.

I have no doubt that the OP already knows very well how to package the parcel properly, but the risk of damage is always there - not to mention the theft of the parcel by the postal workers.

I get your concern and that's why I use trusted services and pack the hell out of my artworks.

No thefts yet to the best of my knowledge, but again that's exactly what should be expected.

I have no doubt that there is much to discover in the picture if you look closely and examine every detail. Many thanks to the author who created such a wonderful masterpiece. There hasn't been anything like this on the forum for a long time. It's truly an impressive piece of work. I hope that we will all see a sequel very soon.

Thank you, and I think everyone, including me is looking forward to a sequel.

btw...

HAPPY 15TH ANNIVERSARY BITCOIN FORUM!!!

There is indeed a lot to discover in there if you take a minute or 10! Grin

As for everything that could be and isn't - there's going to be more opportunities to visualize and upgrade in the future.

If not sooner, then let's make another, even crazier one for the 20th anniversary!

It was a plan to chain these into a bigger picture anyway, just like the Bitcoin blockchain teaches us.

Cheers.

And I liked the cyberpunk style. I love this direction. Indeed, the work turned out to be simply evil and impressive. Upon closer examination, you can see a lot of what is not available at a glance. Quite a detailed work of art. There is no other way to say it in this case. Everything is great. Of course, there was a lot more that could have been conveyed, but the picture is not elastic. The key aspects are conveyed and this makes the work unique.

P.S.
It's time for the Bitcointalk administration to think about publishing their own art magazine.

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. Cool

Why not - art usually gains in value over time, like BTC and good wine Wink

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. 😊

An impressive piece of art that most would certainly like to have on their wall (myself included). I've never participated in such auctions, but from what I see the starting price is 0.02 BTC - has no one bid anything yet or are there any private bids?

Thank you sir!

As far as the canvas auction is concerned, I didn't get any bids yet.

I think 0.02BTC might be just be high enough that anyone interested might rather wait for the last minute and then bid.

Sometimes I get private offers right after the auction ends.

holy moly, out of words to describe this, OP is OP, i've always been the cyberpunk-ish type and this accurately visions what i'd like to see in 2077.

Happy Birthday BTCTalk! and Thanks 1DQ for showing us this wonderful piece.

Can't say much but this is a beautiful piece of art, I'm not good at making art like this but I can enjoy your art, I see you have a great talent as an art maker and I can see it's not an easy job but it seems interesting if this art is made into an NFT Wink

I hadn't considered turning it into NFT yet, actually I'm staying away from NFT currently.

Is there a good argument to do it?

Do you think it would be possible to use this version that joker_josue uploaded:

And make a layer with explanations on top of it somehow?

I imagine it's possible. I know joker_josue is fixing the hosting issues but he'll be able to answer if we can upload and even bigger (zoomable anyway) I guess SVG/PNG version so we don't lose pixels. I could also help out with the writeup of the details if you guys need that.

I think some people see cryptic art or details as part of the fun but there are guys like me who also prefer to not put my eyes to work Wink

That sounds good - I can send all descriptions with locations and everything to somebody who can structure it properly.

I'd love to see this be done now that I imagine it, it could be interesting to members for a long time.

I can do that if you want!
It would be a very interesting project.

I can create a page, where it is easy for visitors to enlarge and navigate the image, creating reference points where more details can be obtained about that aspect of the painting.

I'll be able to deal with that soon. If you want me to move forward with the idea.

If it's not too much work on your part we can do this when you say the word!

You know where to find me haha.

I thought that the digital art was so good, never had I expected it to be upped in terms of quality when you do a real painting, good job and it's such an awesome thing that people have collaborated to help realize this artwork and such a good thing that the community is fully supporting you with this kind of endeavor, I hope that this project will open you to more customers and friends in the near future. Awesome work, imagine if this will be expanded but to the size of large paintings like The Spoliarium or maybe even create a mural like the one in Sistine Chapel's Ceiling. Are there any plans to auction the painting?

Thank you!

And yes, the original canvas is being auctioned here:

Maybe someone could take this design and make something proper with it, I'm just a artist, not a font designer.

If you were interested in that, we could explore that idea.
I had to start by drawing all the letters of the alphabet, as well as numbers and symbols. It was almost like looking at your PC keyboard and drawing all the "keys".

I would hope someone else could do the job actually, as I'm sure someone would do a better and quicker job at it.

I'm also pretty busy on multiple fronts and I rather wouldn't open another right now for my health's sake haha
