[FEELER] Hand-casted, bronze sculptures of Bitcoin heroes

[frankbitcoin]

Hello everyone,

We are in early discussions with a very famous sculptor and may be partnering to make some pieces.  I wanted to reach out to the community to first gauge interest and see what you all thought.

We are considering doing a custom, hand-sculpted bust of some of Bitcoin's greatest heroes.  To start, we would begin with a bust of the legendary Hal Finney.  The bust would be offered in possibly TWO choices, or possibly just one of the two, depending on interest:  bonded stone with a bronze finish, or entirely bronze.  

Think something like this, lifesize, measuring around 15 or 16 inches in height (this was not created by the sculptor we are speaking to, this is just an example of what a bronzed bust looks like):




We would also possibly be doing a bronzed (or bronze) sculpture of our Phoenix artwork, as well.

Pieces would be very limited.  I would estimate anywhere from 10 to 20 of them to be made.  It's hard to say price as of this early, but I'd say somewhere around .3BTC

Very curious to hear your thoughts.  This is something that has not been done before and I think would be a really fun piece to work on and make available to the community.

Best,

Frank

You know you’ve made it when you have a brass bust of Roger Ver in your foyer.

I think it’s a bold idea that comes with a risk level that’s hard to estimate. Meaning. I think that there is a niche market for this, but uncertain if the collectibles sub is where you’ll find the right buyer. With that said, when you do find the right set of buyers- I think it could be a profitable endeavor.

Thanks, Natty.

No, no busts of Roger, lol.

One of Hal, and I thought one of the 'real' Satoshi Nakamoto would be fun.
