Interesting. Where would the pad eyes go exactly?
Concrete and copper 🤌 
For anyone curious, this is how I lift and maneuver 700+ lbs of stone.
Engine hoist + hydraulic cart 👇
As I work, I am reminded to accept the impermanence of all things while striving for that which will endure.
This sculpture, much like the blocks of Bitcoin, is more than an artifact; it's a dialogue with time, a testament to the idea that what we build now can echo through the ages.
Through my hands, I am not simply creating; I am echoing the wisdom of the past, sculpting not for applause but for the quiet satisfaction of having contributed to something monumental.
In the solitude of my studio, I am creating for generations to come, much like those who first understood the value of stone, of legacy, of Bitcoin. In this, I find my purpose, my peace, my place in the tapestry of time.
Exactly. I’m in the process of scaling up. This is my biggest sculpture and commission so far. But if all goes well, it’ll lead to the next step. And I’ll use that water wall as a goal… thanks for the sats and the encouragement!🫡
Eh yes. But I’m still working with a sub optimal setup. If I ever get the funds I need to design my studio from the ground up… there are a lot of tools and equipment on the “nice to have list.” I’d love to have a water wall for dust collection. But they cost like $20k😂
It could be a piece of performance art. A commentary on sats getting snatched up by all the humble stackers out there… Film a Timelapse. Worth it…
Update: I’ve upgraded my dust extractor and just ordered a 9 inch angle grinder and a 9 inch diamond cutting wheel…
If you want to commission one, I’d be down. Those wheels are pretty expensive tho..
One of the things I’ve learned as an artist and especially as someone who usually works in stone… is to embrace accidents.
I made this version of “Awakening” out of concrete a while ago and finally decided to offer it to a private collector. And of course it accidentally falls over and the eyelid chips. The old me would have written it off.
Instead I chose to embrace the imperfections and even create a few more, and then highlight them with copper leaf.
I’ve been a fan of Daniel Arsham’s work and this definitely takes some inspiration from his pieces with the embedded crystals.
I need to touch up the copper a bit, but I’m glad I didn’t write this piece off. I think it’s far better than it was originally.
What do you think of this? 
#5 out of 21 is on it’s way to Australia!
These are bronze reproductions of my first sculpture in marble and I still have a few numbers in the series available..
If you’re looking to add to your Bitcoin art collection, reach out and let me know! 
Bit by bit. Starting to take shape. ⚒️₿ 
Making quick progress.
Now to break out the engine hoist and lay it down flat.. then I’ll cut away the major chunks on the bottom and left side.
This is the “roughing out” phase, which tends to go more quickly. I’m removing the stone I don’t need while leaving myself a healthy safety margin that I’ll approach later on in the process. 
It’s a core drill. Uses water and a cylindrical bit. So you end up with cylinders of stone after as well. 
And so it begins.. ⚒️ 
No not yet. My current tools will work. I could get bigger cutting blades but then the risk of mistakes goes up too so no real need.
Today is a monumental day for me.
I’ll begin the carving process in earnest on this block of orange honeycomb calcite.
This private commission marks my largest undertaking so far.
Feel free to drop any questions, and look out for progress updates.
Time to get dusty! 
Gonna have to wait a month or so.. I’ll be posting updates though
