Data visualization as fine art prints are designed and developed with enterprise-ready data visualization and digital content creation tools, Tableau and Adobe Illustrator. The visualization authoring process using these tools results in the creation of vector graphic files to be minted or placed into an OpenSea.io collection for sale to customers with digital wallets like metamask.io. We highly recommend visiting OpenSea's Getting Started Guide for anyone new to buying NFTs.

We believe in using data visualization as art for a purpose, while also working with modern means to ensure the art print retains long-term collectable status. To accomplish this, we are choosing to embed non-fungible tokens to secure our customer's protections necessary to retain long-term ownership of high-quality data visualization art prints and the original vectorized digital art files -- which encompass the collection, which can be later resold to others who can gain ownership of the token. All physical art prints include the rights to an NFT assigned to the original print, which will never change, as well as the vector graphics to be used for printing out any size dimension desired. In some cases, prints will be sold as a "limited collection" where a capped number of tokens will be issued to owners, limiting the number of prints in circulation.

Yes! We love generating custom data viz art prints for office space, real estate, virtual employees, one-off gifts, and other uses like high-traffic locations where displaying visual art is appealing or of interest. Small changes and personalizations for current art prints can also be done. Custom branding can be included upon approval, and commercial-partner opportunities are also available for co-development of digital goods.

Physical art prints are sold in sizes as small as a postcard, and as large as 40-inch by 60-inch. Standard sizes for some prints may be limited in the Etsy store, but we do take customization and personalization requests. If you would like to get a custom print of a larger size, using specific paper or materials, please Contact Me directly and we will provide a quote.

New prints and featured authors will be highlighted and promoted as often as possible. The best way to get notified is subscribing to the New Viz Alert, which sends an email alert when new collections, prints, or featured items are going live soon.

A digital wallet, or "crypto wallet" is an application or hardware device that allows individuals to store and transfer digital assets like cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

When you download a "crypto wallet", you take control of two 42-character keys; a public key, known as your wallet address, and a private key. You can think of your public key as your shareable bank account info, so copy and paste it in when people ask for your address. Your private key works like a password and should remain private. To learn more about using a crypto wallet to buy NFTs on OpenSea, please visit the OpenSea Help Center for a deeper dive. [-OpenSea Help Center, 2021]

Decentralized applications, or 'Dapps' as many like to call them, work differently from traditional websites like eBay. When you purchase an item from a collection on OpenSea, the funds go straight from your crypto wallet to the seller's wallet. There's no company in the middle holding the goods while the transaction goes through, so access to your NFTs and digital derivatives will be immediate, and will include custom vector graphics (.svg) and documentation (.docx).

Understanding risk is key to successfully navigating the brave new world of crypto and NFTs. The fact these decentralized platforms, like OpenSea, never store your funds or assets means that we can’t retrieve them if you lose access to your wallet (or if your wallet is compromised).

Just as there are many banks and credit cards, there are many different crypto wallet providers to choose from. They all serve the same purpose, but each one takes a different approach and makes different tradeoffs. This guide introduces many of the crypto wallets that are supported on OpenSea.

A digital wallet will need to be "funded" with Ethereum, the native currency of the Ethereum network (ETH), which happens 1) As a deposit from an exchange, 2) purchased directly in the wallet using a credit card (fees apply!), or 3) Directly from within the digital wallet provider (where a bank account or debit card may be linked).

To fund your first wallet, most agree it’s best to find a reputable crypto exchange, like Coinbase or Binance, which offer a way to buy crypto with cash or through linked bank accounts.

Ether is the native currency of the Ethereum network and it’s commonly abbreviated to ETH, which is its ticker symbol. You need ETH to pay for some of your interactions with the blockchain and to pay for the items you buy. You can add ETH by heading to the wallet icon, located on the top-right of the OpenSea website. You'll see a blue button titled "Add Funds". To learn more, visit the OpenSea step-by-step guide to purchasing Ethereum.

OpenSea.io is the world’s first and largest digital marketplace for crypto collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Creators and digital artists "mint" their original artworks for collectors and customers looking to buy, sell, and discover exclusive digital assets.

OpenSea is primarily a self-serve, peer-to-peer marketplace. That means anyone can create and sell an NFT on OpenSea! To ensure the best experience for buyer sand collectors, OpenSea goes the extra mile.

The OpenSea user safety team actively monitors the platform, approves collections and removes malicious content as soon it’s discovered, or reported by users. This ensures OpenSea's community remains vibrant while upholding the OpenSea Terms of Service.

For example, all collections on OpenSea are discoverable by default, but collections that have been "safelisted" have been approved by the OpenSea user safety team. If a collection has not been safelisted by the user safety team, potential buyers will be asked to review important collection details and agree to OpenSea’s Terms of Service.

OpenSea also provides a lower cost of entry for minting gas fees, as artists pay a 2.5% processing fee on each transaction. Physical goods can be purchased through OpenSea.io.

By purchasing an art print or framed print through the Etsy storefront, each customer will receive entitlement to the token minted for the print purchased. In some cases, minted works will be given away as part of a promotional offer, but "gas fees" will still be required in order to collect the NFT and store the token in your digital wallet.

In cases where a custom digital print or NFT is purchased directly as part of a large volume print cycle, directions for receiving your token will be emailed to you upon fulfillment of the order. If you did not receive an email with your QR code and token transfer details, please Contact Me to resend.

There are a number of terms to understand before you get started, as they are critical to navigating and particpating in the crypto platforms and NFT marketplaces, like OpenSea. To get started with the basics, we recommend gaining fluency from the article on "key terms", found on the OpenSea blog.

Etherscan is a useful tool for exploring the Ethereum blockchain and confirming your transaction completion.

Digital prints are fulfilled immediately along with published NFTs with active collections, however, the minting process for custom NFT and marketplace collection listings requires an approval and review workflow. Once the NFT is minted and available for release, a notification is sent and the transfer of ownership is completed with the customer's designated crypto-wallet. Physical prints take 3-5 days to ship, as all artwork is made to order in order to support personalization and customization to further create a special gift or unique visual to display as part of a personal narrative, fundraiser, or cause.
