Late night stop at GoodMorning Market It is my most ambitious artwork to date. A 1 of 1 made to live both physically and on-chain. This year has been about exploring this bridge: finding the connection between two worlds. My biggest issue to this day with physical art and NFTs has been the disconnect. These works are not actually connected. Visually, sure. But not actually connected. I first experienced this in early 2021, when I bought my Beeple and it came with a physical. I later sold the NFT for 89 ETH. And the physical? It is still in my basement. Hanko certified means one thing: the physical verification of trust. In Japan, a hanko is a personal seal. It stands in for your signature on contracts, at the bank and on official papers. Pressing it says: this is me, and I stand behind this. In the Netherlands, we sealed with wax. In the Golden Age, letters, contracts and trade documents were closed with a seal pressed into warm wax: a mark of who sent it, and of care. The two countries share an old bridge. For more than two hundred years, the Dutch were the only Europeans allowed to trade with Japan, through the small island of Dejima in Nagasaki. Goods, books and ideas crossed between the two through that one door. My Hanko brings these traditions together. A Japanese seal, pressed into Dutch wax, by hand. No two are exactly alike. Shoutout to @baiweiart for making mine. In a Hanko certified artwork, the wax seal holds a cryptographic chip. Once the contract is live, it connects the artwork to the chain: scan it, and it shows its on-chain proof of provenance. See the preview: tapping the Hanko on Lawson Shimoda, an ink study from the Konbini series. Inspired by the CryptoPunks contract, I went to work on an entire marketplace inside the contract. It will let the holder of the artwork tap directly into the Dutchtide market, and find and engage with fellow collectors. The contract holds a fully trustless art market inside of it, built so the NFT can only be sold if the physical comes with it. Over the past six months I have refined and tested this system, so that two people can buy and sell through the chain without ever touching crypto. While still being fully on-chain. Euros, dollars, ETH: they will be interchangeable. Holders will be able to buy more Dutchtide art pieces through their own market, or sell through it. The artwork's animated counterpart will be inscribed on-chain. For me, NFTs have always been about doing things physical art cannot, and animation with sound is that exact idea. Linking and inscribing its digital counterpart using @lphaCentauriKid's inscription standard is something I am incredibly excited about. The contract goes live before the 1/1 changes hands, and the inscription follows with it. I am proud to say collectors can already find their entire Dutchtide collection on their collector profile on my website. The 1/1 is available on enquiry. It will set a precedent for me as an artist, with my most ambitious work to date. Stay breezy. Stay bullish🍃
