Okay I had an idea today. I've got some lightning channels with way too much inbound liquidity and figured the best way to handle that is... get some payments coming in!

I used to do a lot of pen and ink illustration - mostly "1960s comix"-inspired stuff, lots of cross-hatching, brushed ink and outlandishness. I thought the next best thing I could offer up to nostr customers after software development work is one-of-a-kind, original ink drawings. Probably small-ish stuff, simply framed. But always originals, never prints or digital files.

**Below is a random collection of a few doodles I found lying around the old hard drive to give a sense of my line style.**

I bought https://lightn.ink (Lightnink - Lightning for Ink, get it?!) on a whim with the intention of setting up a simple storefront for lightning payments. I'd also do nostr marketplace.

So the #askNostr part of the post: Would you trade sats for drawings? I figure this crowd would be into roughly Bitcoin-themed stuff. I'd very happily take direct requests ("Draw my avatar struggling out of a bakery with armfuls of bagels!" wtf, I dunno - you come up with the ideas. I'm not good at that part) like some kind of very slow, very human, image-generation LLM Proof of Work machine.

Or maybe you suggest ideas for series you'd actually want - like a limited edition of 10 different portraits of Fed chairmen with an erection at the helm of a money printer or something.

I want to join the nostr Lightning economy with some products of my own. Whattdya want?! I'll do it.

Lets start small: If you've got something you'd like me to draw and mail to you, name your price and drop the idea and I'll do it over the next few weeks and we see how it goes.
