About Whisper

A gallery for digital artists where the royalty is enforced and the print ships.

What we do

An artist-first gallery. Editions are sold with royalties enforced at the protocol level rather than requested, artwork is stored redundantly and permanently with the storage cost paid upfront from the sale, and every digital edition comes with the option of a museum-quality physical print, signed and numbered, fulfilled by us. Curation is real: applications are reviewed, not automated. Collectors get a genuine object and a verifiable record; artists get paid on the first sale and every one after.

Who we built it for

• Digital artists and illustrators

  Artists selling limited editions who felt the previous market was about speculation rather than art.

• Photographers

  Photographers selling limited editions, with the option of a physical print.

• Collectors

  Collectors who want a genuine object and a verifiable record.

The problem

Digital art marketplaces optimised for speculative trading and then abandoned artists when the speculation stopped.

Resale royalties turned out to be voluntary and are now widely ignored, so artists earn nothing when their work appreciates.

Collectors ended up holding links to files on servers that are going away, and nobody has a physical object.
