Sealing tests ✨ SO MANY ink layers! #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin #drawingbitcoinworkshop

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 Timestamp: Fri, 15 May 2026 10:37:53 GMT #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin #drawingbitcoinworkshop

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. Extract from Halving Cartography | I - IV 350 gsm paper Rotring black ink Rotring 0.2mm Scale: 1 btc = 125mm Radius: log10(sats per transaction) Will be posting more in the run up to unveil and launch the first artworks of the halving cartography series on drawingbitcoinworkshop.com #bitcoin #drawingbitcoin #drawingbitcoinworkshop

Sometimes you don’t have a choice and have to spend some sats #bitcoin #guiltyascharged

Always be drawing #bitcoin #drawingbitcoin #drawingbitcoinworkshop

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!

Halving Blocks I-IV Every line represents a transaction in each halving block One step closer to the launch of our new online gallery ⚡️ #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin #drawingbitcoinworkshop

Back in the workshop after 2 weeks off. Blocks 630000 + 840000 mid plot as part of a drawn series comparing all 4 halving blocks. The mission, to draw Bitcoin and bring understanding through visualisation Busy 8 weeks ahead as we prep the launch of our first series #bitcoin #drawingbitcoin #drawingbitcoinworkshop

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… Work in progress images Halving I - IV Rotring black ink on 350 gsm paper Scale: 1 btc = 125mm Radius: log10 (sats per transaction) #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

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 tests over the last 6+ months to find the right tools to draw blocks. It has become as much an engineering project as it has an art project #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

Halving I-IV Rotring 0.2 Black ink 350 gsm paper Plotted at a scale of 1 Btc = 125mm Radius = sats per Tx’s Scale = log10(sats per Tx) #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

Difficulty adjustment happens every 2016 blocks Halving happens every 210,000 blocks On Block 1,260,000 both occur at the same time and only once every 6 halvings. Is there a name for this event? The Halviculty? the halvity? 😂 #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

wow don't see many 7000+ Tx's in a block! Block Height: 936367 Total TXs: 7481 Timestamp: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 10:55:50 GMT #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

In a time of abstraction/complexity, we still make sense of the world through what we see Halving Blocks I - IV Comparative halving block drawing scale: 1 btc = 125mm radius: log10(sats per Tx) #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

Halving Blocks I - IV Each line represents a transaction within each halving block. Test plot fine tuning pen pressure & speed to balance resistance from the paper and allow the ink to be consistently drawn out through the nib 7898 tx’s in total Plotted at a scale of: 1 btc = 150mm Radius = log10(sats per tx) #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin
