Hey this is 
I'm using the landscapes in my own projects, but I'd like to share them with others as well, so everything that I create with this account is going to be CCBY4.0 [Creative Commons].
I assume that as time goes on, my skills will improve, and the assets I'm creating will become more valuable. For the moment, I'm just going to keep sharing / posting / integrating into whatever project I have going on at the moment.
Here's the photo source for where this tree came from:
It's kind of a unique tree, that has existed in that spot ever since I was a kid. It's an anomaly, and I haven't seen any other tree that old. I'm not sure why it exists, or why there aren't an entire grove of them. Apparently it's an Australian Fig // Banyan.

Another interesting thing about this 
The art assets will also be able to be bundled and distributed. I'm not certain exactly what criteria I will have for that, but I'm aware that there are groups of people who create different sorts of media that could use Environment Paintings.
Patreon / Gumroad / Kickstarter / Itch.io -- Might be good ways to monetize those files within USD. I'm not certain which will be the best -- but since this isn't my primary business, it's more of a derivative system meant to provide certain benefits to myself and others, I'm just going to find a good way to distribute these items, and stick with that.
Is probably how I'll structure it.

I will be creating stickers for the USD Folks through Patreon, but I won't ever touch those. Fulfillment will be automated. -- So for example, I will be able to send my daughter a fancy sticker through Patreon once every quarter, just by uploading the best image for that quarter, and then submitting the merch through this screen on Patreon.
What happens then, is I am my own patron -- in a sense, that
The way that will work is that the sticker will cost $5.60, and will be delivered every 3 months, and I need to buy in $12 a month. Patreon will take a cut of about 11% I think. So, I'm basically paying $10 every 3 months to automate sending my daughter some fancy sticker. Including Fees and Cost for Sticker Fulfillment. -- The rest will go to the artist.
Neat system.
Would be nicer if there was a more regular service, but I couldn't find one that was automated with greater frequency.

I will also be using either ETH or NFTShowroom to mint 1/1 collectables. I will feel free to experiment with either, but if I mint on HIVE, I will not be minting on ETH - and visa versa.
I sent an email to ASYNC, to ask about working with them, since it's a layered based system, and these environment paintings might go well as a layered component. Though the ETH gas fees are wild at the moment cause of the bull run.
To make things a bit more interesting I will also include a limited edition print option with each NFT. So, people can simply collect the NFT, or they can opt to send me an email via:
When they make their purchase, and give me a PO Box or other mailing address through that email address, and I will send them a nice thick, personalized postcard print. I just have to figure out how to get Kinkos to print small batches -- 2/2 for that edition, so my daughter can have one as well.
This ought to be simple enough to do.
I've automated forwarding on that email account so I won't miss anything.

The only promotion I'm planning on doing regularly with this project is as follows:
We'll see how suave I get -- if I record myself speedpaint style and then create a little 1 min video, I may be able to use that to help promote.
Again, the objective here is not really to become a landscape painter -- It's more to just set up a derivative monetization strategy while expanding the quality of the environment paintings in my graphic novels.
