LegendaryActivity: 1414Merit: 1001 [82/83] "What is Bitcoin?" silkscreened posters [UPDATED DESIGN FOR 2016] March 04, 2016, 10:11:59 PM

Last edit: May 18, 2016, 02:13:01 AM by nubbins #1 THE LEAD-UP:

Most of you know me from dealing with Casascius coins, but some of you may know that I also run a silkscreen printing business. I was commissioned by a client to design and print a "What is Bitcoin?" print last year, and since the last edition was such a smashing success, I've decided to revamp the design for this year and print another edition.



THE POSTER:

6-colour 14-layer silkscreen print with hand-inked details on 18x24" natural Cougar acid-free art paper. This is more than double the amount of colours used last year, and the natural off-white paper lends a classy look to the piece.

Limited edition of 83 prints.



THE TIMELINE:

The design will be finalized by March 15, at which point printing will begin. The new design will be revealed step by step as each layer is hand-printed.

Printing is expected to be completed by March 31.



Mailouts will begin as soon as shipping materials arrive.



THE PRICE:

Pricing for this print is 0.15 BTC plus shipping. Flat-shipping is estimated at 0.1 BTC and tube shipping is estimated at 0.05 BTC for North America and Western Europe.

The only payment address is 18eQJRj5dMVtT1TeGr3sVesmFBruCq6f8F. If someone tells you to send to another address, it is a scam.

BE PREPARED TO SIGN A MESSAGE FROM YOUR OUTPUT ADDRESS IN CASE OF PROBLEMS.



THE CATCH:

I've produced digitally-printed proofs of the poster design, but I'm not sharing photographs until the actual print run has commenced, because a digital proof and a real silkscreen print are so very different that one would not serve as a fair substitute for the other. I'll reveal detailed photographs of the actual silkscreened posters once the print run is complete, but PRE-ORDERS WILL BE PURCHASING THIS POSTER BLIND. If you're concerned about this, check the previous sale thread to get an idea of what to expect: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=756955.40



HOW DO WE KNOW THIS ISN'T A SCAM?

Good question! You should check my trust ratings here on the forum, as well as my OTC Web of Trust ratings.



HOW DO WE KNOW THE POSTER ISN'T GOING TO SUCK?

It's the best Bitcoin poster. You're going to love it. Not sure? Just wait for the pictures! The discounted early-bird price is a thanks for going out on a limb, but any remaining posters that haven't been claimed by the 15th at noon will be available for sale, with more pretty pictures each day so you know exactly what you're going to get.

I would be happy to let the past be the past but he is not. His first run of posters were pretty childish. I was genuinely disappointed with them when I got them but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Then he started attacking me... so here I am.



Ah ok, you went with the second option then. The original run was sold blind, like winning the lottery or pulling the short straw - you just got to live with it. I happen to think the first poster is vibrant, original, colourful and many others have said the same. Infact the only reason this second run is being produced is because people missed out and there was interest in a new run. Some people were looking to buy a copy of the original a few weeks ago, so if you really didn't like it you missed the chance to offload. Ah ok, you went with the second option then.

Two more posters sold since TECSHARE's vendetta spilled out into this sale thread. I'll update OP with quantities and respond to all PMs today.



FWIW our troll friend bought 10 (!) copies of the original poster. I later gave him (and everyone else) the option of a partial refund on his shipping (purchasers of the original series can verify this), but he chose to decline. Somehow in his broken, paranoid brain, this turned into me scamming him.



If you can't simply ignore TECSHARE (the button is right there under his name), maybe you can at least have a chuckle at the fact that he purchased $400 worth of goods that are now worth $1500 and he claims he's gonna burn them out of spite. Then maybe take a look at his psycho post history. Then maybe pop on over to the scam accusation thread where I spell out precisely why he left me bogus negative feedback in an attempt to extort me.



Although probably the best course of action is to just ignore the idiot and not quote or respond to anything else he says, which is what I'll be doing. I encourage others to do the same.



New design is a bit behind because we had a huge rush order for a luxury hotel come in; discount pricing is extended for a few days until I can start posting photos TECSHARE, thanks for the free bumps!

Layer four was supposed to be a nice bright yellow, but the ink was just too transparent to get good coverage on a dark background.







Soooo, I scraped the yellow ink off the screen, printed the layer with white ink instead, then cleaned off all the white ink and ran through the entire edition again with a yellow topcoat. Here's a print with just the white underbase, and with the yellow on top.







Nice and bright!







Since this layer ended up being two layers and took quite a bit more time than I'd planned for, I entertained myself by taking some time-lapse videos of the print process.



The third layer was pretty boring. This colour is called "puke yellow" and it looks like hot vomit on white paper, but has a really nice subdued lime sort of look on the dark green background.Layer four was supposed to be a nice bright yellow, but the ink was just too transparent to get good coverage on a dark background.Soooo, I scraped the yellow ink off the screen, printed the layer with white ink instead, then cleaned off all the white ink and ran through the entire edition again with a yellow topcoat.

I've also pared down the edition size, so there'll be less than 100 posters for sale; the original plan was for an 8-layer print, and I included an appropriate amount of extras in the edition for spoilage. Now that we're at 14 silkscreened layers with some hand-inking on the horizon, we've understandably burned through our extras and then some!



Final edition size is estimated to be approximately 80 prints, which I guess is good news for everyone who's snagged one so far; once the hand-inked details are added, I'll trim the edition, sign and number each print, post a final round of photos and declare the Early Bird pricing officially over. I'll be opening up general web sales on a dedicated site at that point as well, so expect the remaining ones to sell quickly. Packaging materials are on the way, and mailouts are looking like they should meet the end-of-month deadline, give or take a day.



Thanks again to everyone who's ordered so far, stay tuned for a mess of photos!



EDIT: Just one to keep you sated until I get a chance to post some more. Check out the sparkle in the black gold ink!

Still no photos, sorry, it's been a busy couple of weeks. We rent out a room on AirBnB and had to soundproof the walls after some really noisy neighbours moved in.



Flat packs will ship out tomorrow and hopefully I'll have some more photos to show by then. Stay tuned!

All rolled posters have been shipped and should arrive at their destinations within a week (North America) or two (elsewhere).Still no photos, sorry, it's been a busy couple of weeks.

Is it possible for you to provide tracking numbers? Asked this via PM already but maybe it has been overlooked

Hoping to get my hands on this one.



Btw, am I supposed to preserve it with 14-layers intact? I mean 14 layers make up to a single poster giving it a 3D appearance, right? I know I sound ignorant but I have never dealt with multi-layered silk-screened poster before.

This is one of the most secure packaging jobs I have seen in my 20 years of receiving internet packages......

I really appreciated the address being on both sides and the yellow "Fragile, Art" sticker.

Thanks nubbins for making sure these beauties arrived in pristine order.

Just realized that I still haven't posted photos of the completed poster, thanks minerjones



Busy busy times, I'll get to the photos when I get to 'em, otherwise feast your eyes on the above



Stay tuned for news on an interesting promo another user is running, and you'll also be pleased to hear that a deadbeat who wanted 5 posters didn't pay, so there are still 32 left to grab.



I'm currently accepting wholesale buys (10+ units) to help clear out the remaining stock.
