I have an original that is funded prior to the big split (Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash) .

Thanks for sharing that! Looking really good, nice choice of framing, compliments the painting really well. :-) Good framing always makes a difference.

Thanks!
Mel

Wooo! Can't wait until I get my hands on the moon series!

I wish I got tickets to Block Con .

Best,
Mel

Oops! Sorry I just saw the images.

They weren't loading up for me before. My apologies.

Absolutely! And I am especially excited about our partnership with Crypto Greetings! It's a very exciting development for us.

Best,
Melik

The front/rear please of both pieces; so we can look out for any potential scratches/defects.

#1 - 0.05

Edit: Withdrawing bid for #2, didn't realize it was a labyrinth. I thought it was an original/silver. Sorry for the misbid.

Can we also get some pictures please ?

Hey everyone,

Sorry for my inactivity over the last week or so, I just started my new job and have been really busy. I am pleased to announce that 4 of the prints have been shipped and successfully delivered to the buyers, we have been receiving really positive feedback so far. I hope to see some framed copies on here soon heh

I also want to provide some updates on a few developments.

1. It appears that a good number of the people that put in reservations for prints have not been responding, I am going to consider them as no longer interested and have updated the OP accordingly with the updated and most current list of sold/available copies. To summarize, prints #3, #5, #7, #8, #11, and #21 are all available again now.

2. We are also updating the price of the copies to be measured in USD (variable BTC) rather than a fixed BTC price. We are updating the price to 600 USD, and also removing shipping costs to mainland US. This change was made due to short sightedness in the rapid swings in USDBTC. These changes can be reflected on the main page.

3. I am also happy to announce that the official website/portfolio is now completed -- https://ludvigart.com. Due to popular request, high resolution copies of the digital scan can be found on the main website. We hope you all enjoy.

4. We can also now be found on OpenBazaar: ob://QmURQhp9SH1s3ggCDhAp7Y31TGnAKVBJuQbXYBbm8jZcaP/store

5. I am also very happy to announce that Ludvig's paintings will soon be available on Crypto Greetings! See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2214790.0

Thank you everyone for your continued support!

Best,
Mel

This is such an amazing development for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies -- fusing art, crypto and something familiar to people (greeting cards) helps put a very friendly and fun face on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

I'm confident that this will be a very successful especially come time for the holidays.

Thanks so much for your hard work tothemoonsands.

Hehe, yes. Your original is a lot rarer than you think it is .

Mel

I believe only 1500 actually got created. Max destroyed the materials for the remaining 1000. I can be mistaken though.

Mel

Good idea Viz, thank you. I'll probably go ahead and follow that route after I finish up this online portfolio.

Work in progress :-)

Hi everyone,

I wanted to take this moment to provide everyone with an update. Before I begin, I just wanted to express our thanks and gratitude to this entire community. We never anticipated that *The Bitcoin Bull* would be met with the amount of exposure and positive feedback that it did. We are absolutely thrilled that many of you enjoyed the Bull, and that we are absolutely looking forward to bringing you more. Ludvig is currently working on his 2nd painting (if you are wondering, it will not be the Bear). We are very excited for this next piece. While I can't reveal too much information on it, sorry ; I can say that we expect to reveal it early next month. The Bear will follow afterwards as the 3rd in the collection.

Returning back to the Bull, we are happy to announce that all prints are ready for immediate shipment. Unfortunately, due to our local art store running out of 31” mailing tubes, we can only fulfill 7 more shipments until we receive a new batch next week. We have placed an order for the remaining  tubes.

Mailing tubes ready to go:

I also wanted to take this time to share with you a photograph of the man behind the brush, please note that we will have a more professional photograph when we are done building the online portfolio.

In other news, I also want to let you know that we are actively working on a website/online portfolio to showcase Ludvig’s paintings and collections. The website will also include contact information, a biography, and previous and older works.

Thanks everyone for the continued support, we appreciate it!

Best,
Mel

Very nice Viz!

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, we have been receiving lots of emails and attention.

Thanks! I don't know if I would classify it as hyperrealism, hyperrealism paintings generally look like photographs with extremely fine detail. Personally, I think that it contains many Dali-esque elements.

The idea for the painting was mainly done in the form of a sketch -- specifically, in graphite pencil on paper.

Hi dai100905,

Thanks for expressing interest, yes I am happy to announce that many are still available, but they are quickly being purchased.

Can you please post the exact number that you are interested in. I would rather that we perform all communication via Bitcointalk's private message system.

Thanks!
Mel

Hi fabby, thank you! I have

Thank you for the feedback, it is well received and will be shared with my father. Yes, we have been getting a lot of attention and interest. I believe a total of 7 are in final stages, and we are working with 3 others.

Heh, thanks for sharing that OgNasty! I saw that a little earlier! My father is in slight disbelief at how well this was received and the attention it got. He is actively working on others.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and support!

Thank you for the feedback! Haha! I wish

I think it's a fair asking price for a signed limited print on canvas of an early Bitcoin-inspired artwork. You are more than welcome to use the provided scan for personal use ie. print and frame a copy for your own home, and do let us know if you'd like a higher resolution :-).

We're also actively working on many other paintings which I hope you will find worth for your bit, heh.

Thank you for the support and feedback! . As I told Lauda just now, you are more than welcome to have it printed and framed for your own home. If you would like a higher resolution, please let us know in DM

We encourage everyone to re-use this painting for personal use. :-D

Thank you so much for the kind words and embedding the images. I really appreciate it!

Yes absolutely, please let me know :-) My dad has began painting the second one and we hope to showcase it shortly.

Hey everyone,

I am happy to announce that "The Bitcoin Bull" Giclée prints are ready for sale and immediate shipping. All 21 copies were picked up from the lab earlier this week, and we have been hard at work in carefully numbering and individually signing each one.

Ludvig Manukyan's Bitcoin paintings will always be strictly limited to production runs of 21 copies, in honor of Bitcoin's maximum coin supply. Originals are not for sale. Originals will be stored away and are planned to be donated to museums and art galleries in the future.

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce a new original Bitcoin-themed artwork. My father recently became heavily involved with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies altogether. He has since started painting Bitcoin-related themes. Below you will find his first painting which is named, "The Bitcoin Bull." I apologize for the poor quality images, I quickly snapped with them with my iPhone, I will have high-quality scans of the artwork available shortly.

Showcase of a Giclée print example and COA

Name: The Bitcoin Bull
Series #: 1 of 2
Artist: Ludvig Manukyan
Size: 24” x 36”
Surface: Primed Canvas
Medium: Acrylic
Dated: August 23, 2017

Statement from the Artist: To the left we are met with a raging bull preparing for another charge against a large wall. The bull coupled with an upwards-facing, golden Bitcoin symbol that he is seen to be carrying represent the start of a bull market and a rise in the value of Bitcoin. The wall is composed of large rock formations that can be construed as the very blocks that make up Bitcoin. The wall can also be more appropriately interpreted as a market ‘ask’ wall that the bull is hammering down and must overcome. The wall contains hints of green to symbolize the current USD paradigm. The painting also features warmer tones to emphasize on the stresses, frustrations, and uncertainties of the market.

-----

We are in the process of printing 21 limited edition copies which are up for sale. The copies will feature fine Giclee prints on canvas and will match the original size of 24” x 36”. Each print will be signed by the artist, dated and uniquely numbered. Certificate of authenticity will also be provided with each print. Please note that stretcher bars and frames are not included. If you are interested in reserving or purchasing, please post here or PM me and please include the number.  Those who purchase "The Bitcoin Bull" will have the option of ordering the 2nd of the series, "The Bitcoin Bear" (same number) upon release.
