Do you recognize this legend? It took me more than an hour to draw him on an area of one square inch, barely bigger than a thumb. https://image.nostr.build/825d5e39ec3c9e1fa151b0b0374ed06bc31f13ddd38728a99dbb91149998cdac.jpg

I'm drawing a ceiling fresco in honor of Hal Finney. Maybe one day it will adorn the ceiling of an architectural proof-of-work masterpiece. https://image.nostr.build/61288cb87e83c9236e8eb092b0d60209221045df6af6568a41d7cfbc996fd5ad.jpg

The second part of my Halving series is finished after about 200 hours of drawing! Bitcoin - Halving II. As with Halving I, I have again included numerous easter-eggs for the second Halving block - 420000.

Finally the first part of my Halving series is complete after almost 250 hours within ~4000 blocks! It is peppered with many mathematical easter eggs around block 210000.

The purpose of Bitcoin is to free the soul.
The purpose of art is to elevate it.
Almost 200 hours of drawing.

Today's proof of work: 8 hours of drawing Bitcoin. A total of around 130 hours. Zoom in, maybe you will enjoy one or the other detail and eventually you might recognize the passion and love in it.

Hi, guys! I did a little collaboration with some fellow german plebs who produce nerdminers and we have come up with something:
There are 21 'Peacemaker nerdminer'. They have an engraving with 'FORGE BLOCKS NOT BULLETS' and are numbered. Only 21 pieces exist. Each of these silvery Peacemaker nerdminers comes with a signed fine art print of my drawing 'Bitcoin - Peacemaker'.
A small bundle all about Bitcoin - mining - and the power of Bitcoin making war unprofitable. It is an important topic. In times of declarations of war, we finally need a declaration of peace and it is Bitcoin.
If you are interested in one of these limited edition peace nerdminers, visit nerdminer.de and grab one!

Since it broke off anyway, I thought I'd give it another position. Loacoons' story and body language otherwise fits very well into the message I want to express with the drawing. Thanks!

Yes, I use a bronze relief as template. It is to be seen on the main entrance door of the Cathedral of Milan, created by Lodovico Pogliaghi in 1894-1908. A small section of it.

Seems like people already know who drew this anyway 😎👍 I think you are right, mentioning the artist is reasonable. In some cases, omission can end badly 😉

Since this drawing means a lot to me, I would also like to have it immortalized on Nostr.
One of the main messages: war for peace. A contradiction that is unprecedented. Never before could and will peace be possible through violence and war.
It is imperative to loosen the blindfold of the fiat human, to take it off and truly realize what a broken monetary system is doing to our planet.
