EDITION ONE UPDATE
We are very happy to announce that Edition One of Timechain Art Magazine and hardcover book is almost ready for the first proofing. It is packed with a fantastic lineup of stunning art and excellent articles, and the cover artist is another absolute og legend!
We hesitate to offer any precise timelines, since the world of publishing is famously full of unpredictability, but we can say we have top-of-the-line printers ready to go once we have the final proofs.
We are also delighted to let you know that Annabelle Baza will once again be doing the color grading for all the artworks, as well as working her magic doing the final tweaks on the beautiful layout that Asanoha has created.
Pre-Sale
Once the magazines and books are off to the printers, we will launch the pre-sale exclusively here for the first 48 hours, so keep an eye out for that. You will be able to secure your favorite Limited Edition numbers right at checkout!
FEATURED PODCAST
Alex Schaefer on Burning Banks, Protest Art & Economic Tyranny |
The Whole Entire Universe w/ Anik Malcolm X Spaces V1
In this episode Anik Malcolm sits with Genesis Edition artist Alex Schaefer, best known for his incendiary series of bank paintings, where branches of major financial institutions erupt in flame. Together they explore the alchemy of protest and paint, the symbolism of banks on fire, and how art can convey the economic tyranny of our time.

Lugano Plan B
Lugano, Switzerland
October 23-24, 2026
“Bitcoin culture goes beyond the stage. At Lugano Plan ₿ Forum, attendees can visit the Bitcoin Art Gallery, meet artists, discover their work and support them directly.
From enigmatic Satoshi sculptures to collectible timepieces, the Forum brings together original works made for those who see Bitcoin as more than technology.
Meet the artists, hear the stories behind their work and perhaps take a piece of Bitcoin culture home.”
ARTIST QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“There are few words that can express the peace of mind that comes not only from discovering Bitcoin, the hardest form of money known to man, but also being part of a community that loves art and collecting like no other. The series will continue as long as these banks exist, because they deserve the cathartic rage that everyone feels when viewing these paintings.”
