June 2025 – Global — The Eyes Are Always Watching, a 21,000-piece digital art collection inscribed on Bitcoin using Ordinals, is now live with over 1,000 pieces already permanently embedded on-chain. The project is free to mint and aims to create a mirror for humanity, one that lives on Bitcoin forever.
Created by the pseudonymous artist Mr. Black, the collection uses Ordinals — Bitcoin’s method of assigning digital content to individual Satoshis — to ensure each artwork is immutable, decentralized, and preserved as part of the Bitcoin blockchain itself.
“Bitcoin is eternal. So is the soul. Art that lives on Bitcoin is the truest form of art, for it stays in its original state for eternity,” said Mr. Black.
A Collection for the World
The project features 21,000 unique portraits, capturing the vastness of humanity from iconic figures and cultural touchstones to quiet moments and forgotten stories. Some pieces honor those who shaped history; others challenge injustice or give voice to the unseen. With global themes and rich diversity, The Eyes Are Always Watching offers a profound reflection of our world, where every viewer can find a piece of themselves, and perhaps, something they’ve never seen before.
The goal: a decentralized art archive for all 8 billion people on Earth.
Built on Bitcoin with Ordinals
Unlike NFTs on traditional platforms, this collection uses Ordinals — a method that inscribes digital media directly onto Bitcoin without the need for external servers or centralized platforms. Each inscription is stored natively on the Bitcoin blockchain, offering unmatched permanence.
There is no token, no utility, and no paywall — just pure, immutable art.

Movement and Visibility
Since its origin in November 2023, The Eyes Are Always Watching has been a visual protest and a spiritual statement. The project gained visibility across Rome, Jerusalem, and major U.S. cities, where mobile billboards and public installations promoted the message: Fear God, Not Man.
Most recently, the project sponsored and attended Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, engaging with the global Bitcoin community and further cementing its presence as a cultural and technological statement within the Ordinals ecosystem.
