There’s a nice write up in my book about Thug Life, which is available in PDF form at https://kialara.com/product/kialara-art-bitcoin-the-book/ if you wanna check it out! Hox thanks for linking that! NewkTownTN thanks for dropping in to say hi, you’re very welcome! digicoinuser - you’re not supposed to afford it–you’re supposed to just roll your eyes at it.  100 total more OG notes shipped out Saturday and today for those still waiting.

@Rmcdermott927, happy to see you here and glad you enjoyed it! Thanks you!! @Mopar, one more thanks for you  @haloxon, this is the first I’ve heard of one arriving outside of the US, so I’m super happy to hear this. You’re very welcome and Happy New Year!!

Hi all, these aren't gone quite yet. Just out of stock. If you'll notice it says on the product page just beneath the gallery: "Currently out of stock. Sales to resume early in the new year."
There are around 50 or so of each version still left to assemble. I need to put together more of the key/seed phrase kits also.
I'm considering releasing the artwork for all of the Guardians once they eventually are sold out, and the order in which they were printed.

@ Steeley, thank you for sharing! @ Mopar, also thanks for sharing (on X)! @ Eclipse, I was genuinely excited to be able to do something like this. Thank you :-) @ Otoh, many thanks, and a little curious as to how you knew it arrived!? I need that setup for my own PO Box.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
And to any of my customers who haven’t received their OG note yet, I still have around 250+ to finish and ship. Working to get them out asap.

@Eclipse I paid a huge fee trying to get these tx’s confirmed on the halving block, but the network was so congested that it still took two days. Pretty sure I paid more than double. There was a premium on the brick of uncirculated $1 bills, too.
@Mitchell, yes!
@CanaryInTheMine, Thank you and yes I agree!
@Hox, thank you! Crazy thing is I started working on this in 2023!
Gajillion isn’t funded, but the suggested amount is relatively small compared to the piece’s overall value. It can be deducted from the final price upon request. This approach helps ensure everything stays within the proper framework.
I decided not to provide the public keys because the OG artworks are meant to be fixed collectibles–a snapshot of Bitcoin’s value and history.
Thanks all, hope everyone had a nice Xmas!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing Eclipse. You always take the nicest photos - and I love the Frosty postmark.
I've already sent out 500 of these (with 200 of those being international) so hoping to hear that more have made it to their destinations soon!

Meet Rare—a steak worth more than most homes. This 2.56 lb platinum ribeye, priced at $1.4M, is adorned with over 200 carats of hand-set diamonds and rubies. It’s humor, absurdity, and craftsmanship cooked to perfection—but it’s also serious. Steak represents sustenance, strength, and tradition—values humanity has cherished for millennia.  Also in the series: • Gajillion – A bold reimagining of a rare $1,000 bill from 1934.  • OG – Steak, Bitcoin, and legacy, captured in 1,000 uniquely hand-painted $1 bills, gifted to my supporters.  And if anyone missed it: I’ve just published Kialara: Art & Bitcoin, a retrospective of my 10+ years creating Bitcoin art. The PDF is free to download on my website. Whether you’re an art collector, Bitcoin enthusiast, or simply curious, there’s something here for you. Check it all out at http://kialara.comMerry Christamas and Happy Holidays to everyone! Max-

Mopar perhaps just hold off for a couple weeks while I come up with a plan. I'm deep into a couple other projects currently. Until then there's the pdf available. Hox, good ideas.

@syclone, Hox & Steeley thank you guys!
Mopar, just posted to my site with purchase & download links
I’ve gotten some interest in hardcover and signed copies. Honestly, my focus was just on keeping it simple and accessible—like offering the free PDF. I didn’t plan for anything extra, but it’s something I might think about early next year.

1Dq, I'm super-impressed with this... love the vibe, the WIP photos, the perpective - and definitely feels alive with all the characters. Thank you for including Kialara, I had fun finding it.
And was stoked to learn this morning that ChiBitCTy picked one up for me!
