"How do you eat an elephant? One bit at a time..."

I've added the following statement to the website to describe this piece. I suspect some of you may have similar feelings

:

“Since June 7, 2011 – the day I discovered bitcoin – I have not been able to keep it off my mind. The potential to change the world and give greater freedom to those who want it is literally “mind-blowing”. Bitcoin has been “on my mind” everyday since – and probably will be until the day I die. To me, this piece has multiple meanings: the skull is both a “piggy bank” for storing bitcoins but it also represents the potential death of traditional money and power structures. It can represent the thousands of times bitcoin has been declared dead – only to rise again. This drawing is also a self-portrait. The hand is mine and I imagine I’ll probably take a few bitcoins with me to the grave.” – Steven Michaels

Wow, that's nice and right up my alley. I will likely pick one of these up in the next few days. Good work!

Thanks! I've had this idea for a while and I was finally able to sit down and do it. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. BTW, the "bitcoin" in the hand is removable and it contains the private key.

“A Beautiful Mind" (aka "Skull Wallet”) – Pen & Ink drawing

Limited Edition: Only 100 pieces will be made. Each piece is 9” x 12” on acid free paper with archival ink. Suitable for framing or display in a presentation book.

How these pieces are created:

An unfinished master is created by hand-drawing the design in pencil and ink (with parts left unfinished).
The prints are then hand-finished with additional black ink.
The date, bitcoin exchange value, hologram & bitcoin keys are added to the piece at the time of sale.
Once everything is complete, the hallmark/signature is added to the right of the design.
This is then reproduced at a professional printer.

Note: These art wallets do not contain bitcoins and come unfunded. You can substitute a BIP38 encrypted wallet upon request.

Price: $1,000 + shipping ($5 to USA or $15 to other countries). Pay only one shipping fee for up to 5 units when checking out but you will have to do the calculation yourself and then send only the modified amount at checkout (the shopping cart we use does not do it automatically but will still receive any amount you send).

Art Appreciation Policy: At the Bitcoin Mint we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy our art without risk. It is for this reason that you can buy our art, enjoy it for as long as you wish, and then trade or sell it back to us for the price you paid (excluding shipping) less a 5% restocking fee. We will pay you in dollars (or the dollar equivalent in bitcoin at the time you sell it back to us).

Payment Options: Cash by mail (contact us for instructions) or bitcoin.

Ask me anything or tell me what you think!
