TL;DR: THE 1K1K PROJECT







I’m releasing 1,000 unique 1 of 1 photography NFTs from my travels across all
seven continents, each with its own story as part of a PROOF Collective official
collaboration. In each story, I may talk about the location, the adventure, the
drugs, the hardships, the love, personal breakthroughs, personal embarrassments,
struggles, or just random hilarious and unbelievable things that happened.

About 500 hours of writing (over 120,000 words – same as a long novel!) and
curation went into this collection, not to mention the countless time of
actually capturing these remarkable locations.

Some stories are long. Some are short and sweet. Some are sad. Some are funny.
Some are embarrassing. Some are inspirational. Note this is a screenshot from
our development site…the actual “NFT” will be 100% photo and the story will be
in the description area.

The Uber-Uniques!


SIX UBER-UNIQUES!

6 of the 1,000 NFTs will receive actual physical prints if they get one of the
images above.

There is a TWIST. You have to own it on March 31, 2023. So it may trade hands
many times, but whoever has it on that date can get the actual print (only
shipping charges will apply).

These prints are quite large and will be quite the statement in your home. Scan
down a little for an example…

You can join the ranks of other physical print collectors like NFL stars, actual
knights, and even celebrities like Edward Norton and Leo DiCappy. That’s what I
call him… my little pet name. He likes it.

WANNA SEE ALL 1,000 IN THEIR TRUE BEAUTY?

Even though you can see everything on OpenSea, you can get a much better
“Artistic” experience by looking at the portfolio gallery with all 1,000 images.
They are in the order from #1 to #1,000 and all the descriptions are in there if
you click the little “i.” Note if you’re into photography, you can also see all
the EXIF data, and it shows the cameras I used, lenses, etc etc. Good, fun geeky
stuff there for ya too!

Here’s one of the Uber-unique images where you get a physical print. This is
from a beautiful bamboo forest in Kyoto, Japan. Whoever is holding this NFT on
March 31, 2023 can have the fabricated print in their home!

> Trey’s images are other-worldly, mind-blowing creations that, at first glance,
> appear to be some digital trompe l’oeil; a Photoshop trickery post production
> creation. But no, Ratcliff’s photographs — through techniques he freely shares
> — are inspiring and real. Something which makes them all the more incredible.

WHAT ELSE? LIKE UTILITY OR WHAAAA? YES! IN PERSON ART-SHOWS AND AIRDROPS!

The art IS the utility, yo! But, I did come up with a fun idea. Each NFT will
count as a “ticket” to get you into a private VIP event as I tour around 30
cities over the next several years.

In the afternoon, I’ll do a free art talk for kids (and kids of all ages!) and
do some tutorials with our partners at the Ritz-Carlton or some other fancy
schmancy hotels, depending on the city. Then, we’ll make the muggles leave for a
closed-door sesh for VIPs that hold my NFTs! We’ll sip champagne, discuss the
European theatre of war, and I’ll create a piece of art live in a fun chatty
environment. Then, when I’m done, I’ll airdrop it to everyone that showed up.
Fun!



To get you in the mood for the IRL events, this is a highlight video from my
10-city tour across Europe. Enjoy!

RARITY?

Well, by default, 1 of 1’s are rare but fear not, dear NFT collector, this drop
goes even further than that…

We also have a fun way to rank photos based on the “Word Cloud” of words used in
the stories. Note that this is just an example and the percentages are made up.




INFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS




WHICH COMMUNITIES COLLABORATED ON THE WHITELIST?

 * Quantum Keyholders
 * Quantum Art Collectors
 * SuperNormal Zips
 * Heart You
 * ZenAcademy
 * AdmitOne/The Watchers
 * StudioUno
 * PREMINT Collector Pass
 * Collective Strangers
 * Trey’s AiVATAR Holders




HOW MUCH WRITING WENT INTO THIS?

A lot! There are about 120,000 words, which is the equivalent of a longer novel.
Some photos have longer entries and stories while others are more pithy. I also
went through and picked the most interesting words to help categorize and add a
fun level of rarity to the photos. For example, having an Antarctica photo is
more rare than having one from China.


WHAT CAN I DO WITH THE PHOTO?

It’s yours! You can do whatever you like. Most people are wondering if they can
make a print for themselves. Absolutely! It will be considered an Open Edition,
and not one of the Fine Art additions from TreyRatcliff.com. Note you can also
do whatever else you like with the work. Enjoy!


ARE ANY OF THESE MADE WITH AI?

No, none. Good question, though, nowadays. I do in fact to a lot of AI art on my
other Insta account @TraiRatcliff.

OKAY, I’M BORED. WHERE ELSE CAN I GET ME SOME MORE TREY-ACTION?

@TreyRatcliff on Instagram – My main (mostly photography) account.

@Trairatcliff – That’s my new Instagram account where I play with AI. Follow it
and tell your cool friends. Don’t tell your energy-vampire friends that you just
can’t quite get rid of.

@TreyRatcliff on Twitter – A mix of everything including zero political
commentary. Lots of poor-taste jokes. Very little shilling… Okay, a bit. But
just cool stuff.

@Machine_Elf_Worlds – this is a fun visual meditation company I started. See
more and our amazing Board at our website.

StuckInCustoms.com – That’s my blog. Been doing it for 15 years. A new blog post
every day.

TreyRatcliff.com/ – That’s my portfolio site where we sell huge fine-art prints
in very limited editions.

My YouTube Channel – It’s a mix of all kinds of stuff. Kind of like my first
child that looks a little like the Fed-ex man.

Pinterest – I have like 6 mil followers on there. And it’s mostly women. I’ve
never been so popular with women, believe me.

Facebook Fan Page – I hate Facebook but I use it anyway. I think Facebook is the
equivalent of staring into the fridge when you are not even hungry.

Here is one of the Uber-Unique images where you get the actual physical print.
This photo is from my home country of New Zealand. There will only ever be 3 of
this image from my fine art series fabricated. It also looks amazing at night
with a gentle natural light illuminating it.


JUST ONE MORE THING…

Here is a little taster, a fraction, a smidge of the images from the drop.
