Collectors
Between December 2021 and early 2023, Rich LoPresti minted 818 of his grandfather's works as NFTs on the Algorand blockchain — sketchbook pages, doodles, oils, watercolors and collaborations — under the name TLoP, “The Land of Possibilities.” About five hundred found collectors. This page is the record.

Creator wallets (public): TLOPSHMY…J53B4 for sketchbooks, oils, watercolors and collaborations; TLOPLO4F…OFMY for doodles. Each asset's name is the file name of the scan it was made from, so every NFT can be traced to the original in the family's archive. If you hold one of Tom's pieces and would like it recorded here with your name, write to us.
The 2022 collaboration contest
In February 2022 some thirty artists, in forty-one entries, took a prompt from Tom's sketchbooks and doodles and made something of their own. The community voted; Victor Trok's ducks won. The entries are reproduced here with the artists' names as they entered them.
Collaborations
Crypto Shayne reworked a whole 1966 sketchbook, page by page, as “Old Meets New.” Tom's originals are in the 1966 sketchbook; these are Shayne's versions.

Where the NFTs live now
Several of the marketplaces of 2022 have since closed. The assets themselves are on the Algorand chain and are unaffected; the estate is re-pinning every image to storage it controls so that none of them go dark. For anything about buying, selling or verifying a piece, get in touch.
