I offer them at http://BitcoinMint.com

How about this?

Correct. My intention is for each piece to be enjoyed and then, instead of being "consumed" or discarded, they are then shared or traded with someone new or sold back to the Mint. By providing a buyback provision this also guarantees a minimum value and provides me an opportunity to buy some of these back in the future.

Creating a piece of art is like having children. You have to let them go out on their own but you hope they come back and visit once in a while.

Thank you!


You're right, how could I forget about cats! Hmm...let's see what I can come up with...

The Soupe Du Jour series is a tribute to the iconic pop artist Andy Warhol and his famous 32 Campbell’s Soup Cans.

This series will chronicle the price of Campbell’s soup – in “bits” – over 1,024 days.

There will be 32 pen & ink drawings of each variety of Campbell’s soup creating the opportunity for 32 “complete” collections. The first, “Tomato”, is dated “Jan. 30, 2017” and a new drawing, each an original, will be created every day for 1,024 days at which time the series will be completed.

Availability: First two are sold. Next up is "Feb. 1, 2107".

Each piece is 8” x 10” on acid free paper with archival ink. Suitable for framing or display in a presentation book.

Each Art Wallet contains an unfunded bitcoin address and corresponding private key. Pre-orders for future pieces are accepted.

Price: $100 + shipping and handling ($7 to USA or $20 to other countries)

Repurchase Policy: The Bitcoin Mint (BitcoinMint.com) will buy back this original artwork at any time for $100 U.S. Dollars (or $100 worth of bitcoin at the time of tender). The piece must be in good condition with the holographic seal undisturbed.

Payment Options: Cash by mail or bitcoin.

These can be purchased at http://BitcoinMint.com.





How these pieces are created:

1. An unfinished master is created by hand-drawing the piece in black pencil/ink.

2. This is then reproduced at a professional printer.

3. These drawings are then hand-finished with additional black work or mixed media.

4. The date, bitcoin exchange value, hologram & bitcoin keys are added below the drawing.

6. Once everything is complete, I add my final signature to the drawing.

Yes, I can ship worldwide and plan on continuing this series (and others) going forward. If you have a special date that you would like to reserve, just let me know. I will never do more than 10 pieces per date, per series and, right now, I'm averaging about 3 per day. Once a date passes, I will do no more for that date.

Yes, that is one of the ideas...art that you can trade. Art that also tells a story about bitcoin. You can always trade it back to the Bitcoin Mint but it will be more interesting to see what other things people trade these for - and document on the back of each drawing. It is a way to enjoy the art and then pass it on to others while reflecting on the meaning of money, art and bitcoin.

Stay tuned...

Whoever you want him to be...

And we have a winner! Congrats! Please PM me your shipping info and I'll send out the #58 medallion straightaway!

The three from the 28th have what the 26th & 27th don't have... 

Good guess, but not the one I'm looking for. Here is another clue: The 26th & 27th pieces are missing something that the 28th has...

Good guess but, still not the one I'm looking for...

Good guess, but not the one I'm looking for...keep trying! 

I've just posted 3 pieces for today's date (Jan. 28, 2017).

These have some additional colorization and they do not have the "error" that was in both the 26th & 27th pieces. Can you see the difference? First one to point out the error gets a FREE, Limited Edition Medallion (#58). Each piece is slightly different but there is only one error I am looking for. Post your guess below.

The Prize:





Enjoy!

Thanks! A coffee table binder would be a good place to display a collection that showed the price change ("transition of power") over time.

Each one is unique in multiple ways - they are each one-of-a-kind with a common theme. No more than 5 to 10 per day and will likely change over time to keep them interesting.

There are a limited number created for each calendar day and each one is unique in multiple ways. The buy-back just creates a "floor" price so it can never drop below that. It also creates some interesting possibilities as a tradeable asset.

They are shipped securely in a photo mailer and will be replaced if damaged. Yes, we will buy it back if it is laminated. :-)

EDIT: I just saw the question about hemp paper. I think that's a great idea. I will put that on the list for future pieces.

Excellent! I have several to choose from on the site and you can check out there:

These art wallets are perfect for birthday gifts or to start a collection that chronicles the price of bitcoin (and the decline of the dollar) over time.

Each piece is 8” x 10” on acid free paper with archival ink. Suitable for framing or display in a coffee table binder.

How these pieces are created:

1. An unfinished master is created by hand-drawing the $100 Bill in black pencil/ink (with parts left unfinished).

2. This is then reproduced at a professional printer.

3. These drawings are then hand-finished with additional black work, colored pens and pencils.

4. Signatures are added to the face of the bill.

5. The date, bitcoin exchange value, hologram & bitcoin keys are added below the drawing.

6. Once everything is complete, I add my final signature to the right of the bill.
