Art Works Ownership | NFT | Print
No chance for copy cats!
The maximum width of the art works on the website is 1920 px - not good enough for a decent print.
In addition all 1920px images are "spoilt" with a copyright watermarks ("Copyright Bo Lessing") which are practically impossible to remove.
Thus you can be sure: if you buy a Lessing original there will be nobody enjoying a comparable version of your art work!
An "Unforgeable Physical Token" (UP-Token) proves your ownership
The "Unforgeable Physical Token" (UP-Token) is an A5 sized, resin embedded physical token and certificate of authenticity that comes with a USB flashdrive attached, which contains the encrypted data of all versions of the artwork purchased.
Front side of the UP-Token:
1 - Depiction of the artwork and all its versions
2 - Title, year, details of the artwork
3 - Hand signature of artist Bo Lessing, with date - written on top of an original banknote and picture of the artwork - all embedded in resing and impossible to forge.
4 - Original banknote
Backside of the UP-Token:
5 - Transfer of copyright, guarantee of uniqueness of work (legally a contract)
6 - Hand signature of artist Bo Lessing, with date
Please note that on the backside the artist again hand signs his name and the date on the banknote.
Bo Lessing:
"With the UP-Token system collectors of my digital art are 100% safe from copycats, art thieves and deteriorating artworks."
Optional: Additional NFT without the risk of illegal downloads of your artwork
Most art NFTs prove the ownership of a JPG. But that JPG can be easily downloaded by anyone from a publicly accessible web address without any hacking skills!
If you don't want anyone to copy and use your precious artwork but still fancy your ownership to be registered in an NFT blockchain, we'll do the following:
We'll upload a photo of your UP-Token (similar to the one shown above) to an NFT platform and register it - instead of the valuable artwork.
Please note that costs for the NFT registration ("gas fees" etc.) will have to be paid separately by the buyer.
Printing your Lessing
Bo Lessing:
"You can print my digital paintings on canvas or paper, using any local or online printing service."
- You can print to any huge size because the painting has a sufficient resolution.
- The painting will be a crisp, sharp image when looking at it from a somewhat natural and viewing distance.
- To be more precise: go to a shop and check out a huge 4K/UHD TV screen. Even from unnaturally close you can't identify dots. This screen presents 8.3 million pixels. A Lessing painting comes with 25 - 75 megapixels!
This is a pixel by pixel cut-out from an 48 mpixel artwork.
When you go as close as you would to read the letter text you'll experience that maximum resolution of the print.
Here you have an A4 page "glued" to the image.
The last example is a 55" TV screen with 4K/UHD resolution.
As you can see, there is much more than ample data for a more than convincing fine art print!
Even if, like in a museum, a viewer comes as close as one foot (30 cm) to the art work, just to see what technique was used in making it, there will still be a notion of appreciation.
A suggestion for very large or very ambitious prints
Every printing machine, every canvas or paper are different and influence the outcome of the print!
Have the printer make a 10" x 10" (30 cm x 30 cm) small version in Photoshop and print it out to see if you agree with the color balance of the print.
Ask the printer if he suggests to add a bit of Photoshop sharpening or level boost to meet the requirements of the paper or canvas you selected.
Buyers will get one additional "painterized" version of their favorite work
I like to realize and publish as many artistic ideas as possible. To me content is king.
Some lovers of my art pointed out that they have seen some works that seem to have enjoyed more time in making them appear like "real" oil paintings than others.
That is right.
After having turned an idea into a painting I enter into the process of "painterization", a method of reworking the image and the texts over and over agaqin, so that finally it looks even more like a gestural painting.
The level of "painterization" varies, but it does NOT depend on whether I like a work and consider it important or not. The only limiting element is how many new ideas (meaning new artworks) I came up with and need time to turn into a work.
Most important for my collectors: If you buy a work of mine I'll invest a substantial amount of time and creativity to additionally "painterize" the work.
As a collector/buyer you'll get an additional and further "painterized" version that nobody has seen before.
