TL;DR:Every great movement has been reflected in the work of artists. I'm publishing Cryptoart as a medium for artists to contribute to the cryptocurrency movement. Cryptoart also functions as a paper wallet by embedding a public and private key to store BTC.

About: Cryptocurrency is valuable. Cryptoart safely stores your coins in a physical, expressive, and collectible form by combining them with fine art. Cryptoart can be loaded, unloaded, and reloaded with currency, collected or traded in person, stored or framed for your enjoyment. We strive to publish rich, unforgettable imagery that comments on the crypto culture and the cryptocurrency movement.
IAmA:I've been an art dealer/retailer for 15+ years and always wanted to move to the publishing side. I'm also a fan of Bitcoin, and this seems like a fun venture to combine both interests.
Cryptoart Details:Each limited edition print is embedded with a QR code. This is your public bitcoin address. You can use it to check your balance or send money to your cryptoart. On the back, is a security sticker that conceals your private key. Taking a cue from bitcoin, it was important for me to make cryptoart trustless. If you don't trust the person you bought your Cryptoart from, you can change out the Bitcoin address and private key without damaging the art piece.
Cryptoart comes it several sizes, the smallest size is called a crypto certificate. All editions are expertly created with museum quality archival inks on a 100% cellulose Hahnemühle German paper. I intend all future editions to follow the same form factor to aid in authentication.
The Artists:Finding artists is by far the biggest challenge.
My first artist is Alexander Fedesov; a Ukrainian artists that has mastered digital hyper realism and will hypnotize you with his illustrative detail. His work is loaded with symbolism and will keep your eye busy. More artists will follow from various genres.
Looking for Resellers:If you have a brick-and-morter place and want to retail Cryptoart, please contact me. Cryptoart comes unloaded, so I'm also looking for trustworthy folks to load it. You should abide by all AML and KYC requirements of your jurisdiction.
