There are SO MANY ink layers in this piece!

Happy bitcoin pizza day
In 2010 Laszlo exchanged 10,000 btc for a pizza as visible in block 57043.
I love historical blocks

50,000 to go for a million blocks 🤯
100,000 to go till the 5th halving

Fiat currencies are destined to be swallowed by the Bitcoin black hole.
Wow 1,000 followers!🙏
Thank you for coming along on this journey and for liking/sharing my work.
I’m currently focusing a lot of time towards two launches in July (fingers crossed)
A new updated website for https://t.co/E0zaH0KB9L (with new block visualisation tools that I've been developing)
AND
A new online gallery for my drawn work on https://t.co/yGJUWeFOuE
The culmination of nearly 2 years of drawing, experimenting, prototyping, buying every pen on the market, (breaking every pen on the market) and exploring bitcoin through image/line.
The mission, explore bitcoin through the lens of drawing.
Photos from last week,
One of my Halving Cartography Drawings fresh straight off the plotter and some sketches from the end of 2024 when I was first starting to establish a standard for scale and design.

Wow, love it.
Perfectly worded.
The mission, more bitcoin visualisation.

Drawing Bitcoin is a new online exhibition of mined blocks and transaction value using a web-based tool translated from a visual programming script.
Each block is treated as a kind of found object: a sealed composition of economic activity, timestamped and permanent. Transactions within the block are plotted on a logarithmic scale, then arranged through a radial distribution based on Bitcoin transaction size.
The result is part data visualization, part monetary anatomy, part digital painting.
Every block has its own character. Some appear dense and chaotic. Others are sparse, elegant, or strangely symmetrical. Large transactions pull the eye outward. Smaller movements gather like particles. What normally disappears into code becomes visible as shape.
The tool allows up to two blocks to be viewed side by side, creating a way to compare moments in Bitcoin’s history not just numerically, but visually. Blocks can be read as portraits of time: each one a brief, irreversible record of human decision, market energy, machine consensus, and mathematical finality.
In this sense, Drawing Bitcoin is not only a tool for analysis. It is an exhibit of the blockchain as an aesthetic object.
A block is usually understood as infrastructure.
Here, it becomes image.
A transaction is usually understood as accounting. This website makes it art.
A ledger is usually understood as record. Here, it becomes composition.
Bitcoin is often described through price, politics, mining, or economics. This project approaches it differently: through looking. It asks what can be seen when value is drawn, when scarcity takes form, when a block becomes a field of marks.
https://t.co/iWJTt1M1Pb is live now.
It works best on desktop, with a simplified version available for mobile.
Come explore the blocks. Compare them. Study them. Let the chain draw itself.
Block 949500
A concentrated band of 140 vbytes transcations between 0.00000300 btc - 0.0003 btc
Average Segwit transcations are 140 vbytes, filtering by this metric shows a clustered structure within the block
Block Height: 949500
Total TXs: 7056

Each line, representing one of many transactions within a block are plotted one a time, building up
layers of ink across the page.
I’ve become (at times) frustratingly perfectionist with these drawings however I think it has been worth spending the last year testing and prototyping to achieve the accuracy, quality and finish with these art pieces.

Will be posting more in the run up to unveil and launch the first artworks of the halving cartography series on https://t.co/yGJUWeFOuE

Block 948000,
from 1000 - 20,000 sats, a concentrated band of 34 sat fee and 140 vByte transactions. Structured patterns like this in blocks are likely wallets who have template parameters for transactions.
Smaller structured transactions like this can increase tx's in blocks. For example Block 948013 with 7000+ tx's or Block 367853 with 12,000+ tx's!

After 6 months of experimentation/figuring out how to make this artwork, I’ve finally started on the first of the series.
Every piece is physically plotted with each line representing a transaction within each of the halving blocks. Over 12 hours of plotting time. The establishment of a consistent scaling standard allows for comparison between blocks.
Drawing thousands of lines representing each transaction has been something of an engineering, scripting, coding, architectural, artwork journey
more details soon…

When I’m designing or making I don’t know until I know
And part of that process is proto-typing, testing, taking it apart, putting it back together, more prototyping, repeat…
This drawing is one of the dozens of experiments over the last 6+ months to find the right tools to draw blocks.
It has become as much an engineering project as it has been an art project
