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

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

Block 210 000 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

Block 840000 meets block 210000 Each line represents a transaction within each halving block Drawn at a scale of: 1 btc = 150mm Radius = log10(sats per transaction) It’s been a journey to find a paper and a pen that is capable of drawing and taking 1000’s of lines in incredibly close proximity. Finally there after many experiments Getting close to showcasing the finished artworks 👀 #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

Nice light transcation block for 933000 with concentrated bands between .0001 btc and .00001 btc. These concentrated transaction bands all have the same vbytes and fee and presumably are carried out on mass by exchanges. Organizing the block data by vbytes, fee, value highlights interested structured information within the blocks.

Wow Just stumbled across a discussion on btctalk.org about drawingbitcoin.com! Not sure if any of the users follow me but yes to all of the questions asked. I’ll be dropping an updated version of the site shortly with lots of updates that will launch at the same time as physical art pieces. Updates including - transaction info when hovering over circles - transaction detailed info pop out when clicked - 3D views of blocks. This one is awesome and can’t wait to share Coming soon! #bitcoin #drawingbitcoin

Fun fact, the axes are set to 1,000,000 btc because the largest transcation to date was 500,020.70 btc in block 153527 not sure if we're ever gone top that! Block Height: 153527 Total TXs: 27 Timestamp: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 09:17:36 GMT #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

the amazing thing about having drawingbitcoin.com on screen in the background is every now and then you see interesting data in the blocks being found in real time Block 932 438 found just now with a 19,685 btc Tx ($1.8B)! #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin

Drawing test of block 840 000 Rotring 0.1 On 300 gsm paper Every line represents a #bitcoin transaction within block 840 000 Scale: 1 Btc = 150mm Radius = log10(sats per transaction) Establishing a consistent methodology for scale and radius unlocks comparative block drawings. #drawingbitcoin

New logo in development for Drawing Bitcoin Workshop A simplified graphic comparison of all 4 halving blocks Every four years the logo adds another piece representing the latest halving block #drawingbitcoin #bitcoin
