Topic: Join Bitcoin Forum COLLECTIBLES EXCLUSIVE ARTWORK PROJECT with Crypto Artist 1Dq (Read 1824 times)

Really excited about your future projects. I would love to see more physical bitcoin related pieces. It is such an underepresented category. Love your work, and yes, feels unusually hot

I can’t not share this as it feels too satisying.
From this thread's first post, as updated:






 We successfully made it to the finale of Phase 5, which I’m also crossing out soon…
…as I plan on launching the thread for our second project in the beginning of next week.

Before that is the exciting finish of Bitcoaster’s auction, which ends in 27 hours.
Is it just me or is the summer really hot this year? 

Cheers!

Absolutely.
It was pretty horrifying realization when I found out that (after having had my cards swiped), the culprit was still lurking on my artwork, as if nothing had happened. 

One of my big motivations to redo the artwork is also to repair this.

  And do not forget to rename the robot with the big Y on his forehead as well!  Do not want that asshole next to my K robot!

 

We could have either historical events or just overall activity.
It'll be a fun brainstorming session figuring out what to include!
Original already shows the Bitcoin Forum as a world in the building and that leaves a lot of space for different kind of ideas.

There is also at least one thing that needs to be removed from the 5 year old version above, any guesses which one? 



That's a good idea, yes!
We can see what the demand might look like during the brainstorming and promotion of the project.

Re-designing this sounds interesting but of course keeping the key aspects of it
is essential. Then what additions are going to be added, historical events which
happened on the forum?

Re-doing it on canvas is definitely the way to go, as regards prints, what quantities
are you thinking?

2 sizes, large format very limited, say 21 again and a smaller quantity with a bigger
print run, 147?

Dear Bitcoin colleagues, co-creators, collectors, hodlers and friends.

It’s time to move forward and set a new goal.


Bitcollector, the project that began in 2019 and took many months of work is still hot.
As I type this it is being succesfully auctioned (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/auction-acrylic-and-gold-original-painting-on-canvas-bitcollector-5500725)
and so were the 21 limited run prints (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/auction-bitcollector-artwork-prints-limited-run-of-21-5498859).

As I proposed before, I see a logical next step in reimagining the “10 Years of constructing the future artwork”
I digitally painted 5 years ago for the BTCtalk art competition.

Bitcoin forum and everything that happens and had happened here has not nearly gotten enough credit, why not make a monument for it right here?
My idea is to take my digital artwork and we together upgrade it to make the best visualisation of this place as possible.
Here’s the OG artwork:


10 Years of Constructing the Future, 2019, Photoshop, max res 3000x4000pix




It would probably all begin with a new brainstorming thread and for the finished artwork, I imagine it as a medium sized canvas (60x80cm, 22,6″x31,4″).
As the digital version already ignited questions about prints, I think it’s logical to do them again,
only possibly in two sizes and in higher number.

I think this project also needs promotion on a grander scale because this year is the 15th Anniversary of Bitcoin forum!
I can easily imagine this artwork bringing people together and a lot of them exploring collectibles for the first time!
A newsline exposure would also be great, if we could convince admins to do it for us.
Besides that, I’d promote everywhere and invite everybody to join in and contribute, especially from other parts of this forum.

But first of all, I’m interested in your opinions.
It’s a bold step forward and I’m again counting on your support in the form of comments, ideas, experiences, tips and advice.

I loved our collaboration on the first project and I’m super hopeful we’ll repeat what was best and add fresh and exciting things!

Cheers!

i agree with Cygan. Real class act from beginning to end. Well executed and great art that really speaks to me as a physical bitcoin collector. Look forward to original sale and next piece to come out

Thanks man! 

I feel this was one of my top artistic collaborations and it might just be the beginning.

BTC just seems to keep inventing new ways of bringing people together.

Cheers.

you did a very good job from start to finish. you involved us all, you wrote openly about your concept and you brought our ideas to your artwork!
thank you again for everything and i am already looking forward to holding the artwork in my hands next week (i hope)

One thing I remembered and thought I needed to share with everyone following the production of Bitcollector's prints.

When I made the final test print for the 21 print run, the chosen print had the same properties as all other following.

I tagged it 0/21 as in prototype for the series and will keep it my personal archive.

Here it is (on maybe the only photo) with the rest of them.



Be back soon,

Cheers!

Auction recap:


All 21 copies were sold, which is amazing!

Thanks again to everybody that participated in this and the original project brainstorming thread.

Right now I need to take care of communicating and sending these parcels (quite a task!) and then I need to start the auction for the OG Bitcollector canvas!

After that... I have a couple of ideas. I'm really excited about working on the Bitcoin forum 10th anniversary artwork canvas version.

2024 so far has really been a great year for Bitcoin and it looks fun ahead! 

Cheers!

This is one of the most badass projects I have seen on this board yet, this is a great use of talent.

Thankyou.

Here we go everybody:

As promised everyone that contributed to the brainstorming has a reserved spot for until Friday + free shipping!

Cheers!

I'll think about this a bit more, but I have to say it makes me kinda excited to imagine that kind of chaos and sorting it out.

Thanks for all the advice guys!

   I agree with this....It happened to me years ago and it was quite impossible to keep up.

Yeah, it usually gets a bit crazy at the end when bids start coming in for each lot every few seconds.
It is doable, but sorting the bids and declaring winners does take some time.
Best bet is for interested bidders to focus on a certain lot(s) as a lot of the confusion sets in when people start bidding on a certain lot, get outbid and then switch to a different lot with a lower price.

Just a suggestion to talk with MJ or mopar about best way to handle a 21 print auction. Ive seen plenty go sideways. If 30 people bid 5 times each thats 150 posts. Nearly impossible to keep track of. You may have to auction 5 at a time or just sell at the price you want.

I think I prefer a bit more expensive shipping, but the best paper and packaging.
But most of all I need to start somewhere and learn from there!   


I believe I saw auctions with numbered lots people can bid on. I'll just make 21 ones and anyone participating can go: user lot nr.  bid price
I need to be vigilant and keep score updating bids of course, but there shouldn't be any confusion.
