[Selling service] I'll draw cool stickfigures for bitcoins

[bitjet]

just sent you another coin for the heck of it! Cool stuff.

[shazow]

Several of you suggested that we should try group-funding an art piece via witcoin, so I started a thread in fundraising.witcoin.com:

I want to make stickfigure art for the Bitcoin community

This was inspired from Gryph's idea earlier in this thread.

The goals as of now:

1. 20 BTC for a vector version in Inkscape.
2. 100 BTC for a full Bitcoin coloured poster (or t-shirt or whatever) with nice typography and all (we'll need to decide on what it should say).

The piece will be released under a Creative Commons license so that the Bitcoin community can use it and benefit from it freely. The original vector file will be provided with all the layers intact so you can adjust it to your heart's desire.

This will go on in parallel to this thread. I want to continue taking individual requests here and making art for you guys.

Shazow I like your work.

One bitcoin sent

I hope you'll get to make an anime about bitcoin one day.

Would love to pay 5 BTC for a comic-article for Bitcoin Weekly.

Sorry, I forgot I drained my bitcoin wallet out a little while ago! Anyway, I'm getting paid for doing some work on someones forum soon, So I'll send you the bitcoin as soon as I can. Once I send it, I'll just send you 30 bitcoin. 10 for the sketch, and 20 for the final vector (I don't expect to dislike you're drawing. I haven't seen even one of your works I didn't like )

We should make a bounty to buy this guy a professional graphic tablet or something...

The witcoin kickstarter is up to 14.63 witcoins.

I'd love to do that! Send over the coins and let me know what you have in mind.

Sounds like a plan. Ping me when you're ready.

Already got an Intuos 6x8 (the original). The problem is that it's not worth pulling out and setting up for a couple of bitcoins. I'll do it for 10+ though. Either way, the results are best when I start with a paper-drawn draft.

I'm not allowed to send money without being a member, and I can't be bothered. It's much easier if you just give a unique receive address for these kinds of things.

Fair point, I'll pass on the feedback to mizerydearia. There ought to be a public bitcoin address per fundraising post that you can send anonymous bitcoins to (and automagically get converted to witcoins).

shazow. You are really great at this!

Thanks for the compliments! This is something I really enjoy doing (both doodling and seeing bitcoins fly into my wallet ), so I would love to continue. Anything I could whip up for you?

Now I have come up with an idea!

I'll pay you 2.13 BTC for a cyborg crypto-anarchist riding on an alpaca with a flag in his hand with a on it "A³" 


Can you do it? If that's the case, should I pay you before or after you have drawn it?

Tough mission for a guy who only draws stickfigures.

Here you go (plus a bonus itty-bitty practice version in the corner):

Here's my take on Satoshi and friends:

In retrospect, I guess it doesn't really represent Ben Bernank, but the agents-from-the-matrix-as-bankers has a better vibe to it given the cypherpunk origins of bitcoin. I think I can do better if anyone wants to commission a digitally-inked or vector version of this one.
