Timechain Art Magazine presents Edition One, a 154-page fine-art journal featuring 30 artists working across painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media.
Seventy pages are dedicated entirely to full-page artwork, while artist statements, essays, and editorial features offer insight into the ideas and creative practices behind the works.
The Artists and Their Work
Featured artists include cryptograffiti, FractalEncrypt, MADEX, Trevor Jones, Ksenia Buridanova, Pepelangelo, Proof of Paint, The Great Print, Sweedgraffixx, Maxis Club, Kenneth Burris, ZETRA, and Asanoha.
Although Bitcoin provides a common point of reference, the artists approach their subjects through distinct visual languages and personal perspectives. Their work reflects a range of interests, from monetary symbolism and historical narratives to questions of privacy, human rights, and the relationship between individuals and institutions.
The issue’s cover features cryptograffiti’s sculpture created for the Finney Freedom Prize, an award established by the Human Rights Foundation in honor of Hal Finney, the pioneering software developer, privacy advocate, and early Bitcoin contributor. The prize recognizes individuals whose contributions advance Bitcoin and human rights.
Edition One also includes a foreword by Lawrence Lepard, Bitcoin advocate and author of The Big Print, whose writing examines monetary history and contemporary monetary policy.
A Journal Designed to Last
Produced in an 8.5 × 11-inch format, Edition One places particular emphasis on the presentation and reproduction of artwork. Premium paper and cover stock have been selected to reproduce the original works with clarity, detail, and consistency.
The journal’s full-page reproductions are intended to let the artwork speak for itself, while the accompanying editorial content provides a record of the artists, their motivations, and the circumstances surrounding their work.
For the hardcover collector editions, Timechain Art Magazine is working with a US company specializing in bookbinding and specialty packaging, drawing on nearly 60 years of experience in the craft. Beyond its immediate role as a contemporary art publication, Edition One is conceived as a lasting printed record, one intended to be kept and revisited.
From Bitcoin Art Magazine to Timechain Art Magazine
Founded by artist and designer Asanoha, the publication began with its Genesis Edition, published in December 2025, featuring 36 artists from the international Bitcoin art community.
Edition One marks the first issue under the Timechain Art Magazine name. The change reflects an expanded editorial direction, allowing the magazine to examine broader cultural and philosophical themes while remaining rooted in Bitcoin.
The term Timechain, drawn from Bitcoin’s early vocabulary, connects the publication to its origins while offering a distinct identity for future editions.
“Bitcoin remains the foundation of what we do,” said Asanoha, Founder and Editor-in-Chief. “But the art has always pointed toward larger questions about freedom, sovereignty, privacy, monetary history and technology. Timechain gives us room to follow these ideas as the culture develops.”
Alongside its print editions, the magazine maintains an online editorial platform and a curated artist directory, providing an ongoing resource for discovering artists and their work.
