Welcome to the world's most exclusive NFTs!

See the NFT details at the end of this overview:

    • NFTs that can’t be copied or faked!
    • NFTs your fans can kiss: Place your NFT Kiss button on any website — just like a Facebook button.
    • NFTs created by classically trained Fine Artist and musician Vatican Dolls — not by industrial designers and corporations.

NFTs that are museum quality art

    • NFTs that are created for the world of fine art. Being financially independent, Vatican Dolls reserves the right to kindly decline offers from investors associated with hate or violence. Record labels, streaming services and major social media platforms are not allowed to buy UrMask NFTs.
    • NFTs that are scarce! Mass produced 1,000+ editions are common in the NFT space, but rarity is essential in the world of fine art. UrMask NFT Editions never exceed 100 works, all of which are unique originals like etchings or bronze sculptures. This is a common standard in the art world, where editions beyond 200-500 are seen as reproductions that typically lose their value over time.

NFTs that rival van Gogh, Mozart, Shakespeare and Twitter — rolled into one!

    • NFTs that only a few collectors will ever be able to own, as is always the case with works by major artists because nothing is more time-consuming than creating fine art: As an artist, you first need your ten thousand hours, which barely gets you through art school, and then you need at least another ten to find and develop your personal voice. After that, each work of art is the result of hundreds of experiments, and every artistic choice you make is an evolutionary reference to major works by other masters, taking art history to the next level.

NFTs that are unique:

    • Each Moderator is one-of-a-kind. And a new video is created for each NFT that includes videos.
    • NFTs that are large! All UrMask NFT videos are between 4k and 8k to match museum and gallery screens. In comparison, that's 5-10 times better than our OpenSea previews. The Moderators are around 12,500 x 12,500 pixels, which is more than 150 megapixels — exceeding what you get from today’s finest cameras.
    • NFTs that are specifically created for their medium like any other work of fine art: All videos play in perfect loops. All undead Moderators are composed as tondos, circular works of fine art. And because the Moderators are specifically created as profile pictures, they’re clean, uncluttered portraits that are clearly visible at tiny sizes. This is radically different from apes and punks designed as square images that don’t look good in Twitter and Reddit's round avatars. Vatican Dolls: “The era of square pegs in round holes is over.”

NFTs that are safe, certified and verified:

    • Each NFT — except works from our introduction suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** — is built on its own exclusive GoldHandle™ that anyone can check on UrMask.com. This solves a current problem where anyone can mint, sell and buy any fake NFT and then launder the stolen work by linking a wallet to social media sites. (Keep in mind that smart contracts can’t tell if they point to genuine art or stolen assets.)
    • All UrMask NFTs that are based on JPEGs and PNGs are verified by Adobe's Content Credentials — a service that links the images to Vatican Dolls' personal MetaMask wallet before they are minted as NFTs, adding a strong, extra layer of protection for collectors. UrMask NFTs were among the first in the world to implement this feature on the day it was launched by PhotoShop and we are going to use the service immediately on videos as well if and when it becomes available for Premiere Pro and After Effects.
    • NFTs that don’t infringe on anyone’s copyright, trademark or likeness.

NFTs that are visibly signed!

    • Each NFT — except works from our introduction suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** — includes its own unique and signed 3D GoldHandle that you can use anywhere in the metaverse and virtual galleries. “Without the signature, Duchamp’s Fountain is a urinal,” Vatican Dolls said, reflecting a common view in the art world where most unsigned works are considered worthless, and signed contracts — digital or not — don’t carry the same aesthetic or emotional weight as a real signature on a painting, sculpture or print.
    • NFTs that only holders may use as avatars: To protect collectors, UrMask is using image detection services to take down illegal profile pictures.

NFTs that open secret doors

    • NFTs that are deeply original: Each work grows organically out of an extremely elaborate ecosystem built on top of a story as entertaining as any Matrix or Bond movie.
    • NFTs that can’t be rented — you are the real owner.
    • NFTs that won’t be released on streaming platforms or sold from record stores.
    • NFTs that don’t include potentially risky options like profit sharing, play-to-earn, fractions, shares or anything else that may be related to securities.

NFTs that double as membership cards for the GoldHandle Club

    • NFTs that include Verified social media accounts.
    • NFTs that are here to stay: It took Vatican Dolls every day for 17 years to create the underlying work DID THEY SEE MY CROWN? which was copyrighted in early versions in 2011 and 2016 but never pitched, mentioned or shown to producers, agents, directors or anyone else before Halloween 2021.
    • NFTs that fans can easily find, follow, like and comment on.
    • NFTs you can dance to!

Max five new NFTs are minted per day.

THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE NFT

DID THEY SEE MY CROWN? is history’s most expensive NFT.

And it’s worth it.

Combining the classic charm of Broadway with social media and the full power & magic of Hollywood, it’s history’s first successful Gesamtkunstwerk — or total work of art.

It took one artist, Vatican Dolls, every day for more than 17 years to...

    • Develop the structure and concept
    • Compose all 17 melodies
    • Create all characters
    • Write the story
    • Write all lyrics
    • Write the script
    • Arrange the music
    • Play all instruments
    • Sing all vocals
    • Record and mix all music as a guide to cast and orchestra and to showcase the work at the official Reading Sessions where script, songs and metaverse are presented to producers and directors
    • Create Bitcoin Heroine: The superstar of the Show — and the new face of bitcoin
    • Build the show’s metaverse
    • Design the metaverse’s unique VR headset [copyrighted in 2017, scheduled for release in 2024]
    • Draw, paint, sculpt and animate all included 2D and 3D artworks
    • Create all videos
    • Create all stage sets
    • Design every pixel and function of the integrated social media UrMask.com where all characters have accounts

Nobody has ever created anything like it...

Many major artists — most notably Wagner and Warhol — tried, but failed:

Wagner could not create his own characters, myths and stories.

Warhol could not create his own music.

And a Gesamtkunstwerk needs to be powered by one artist’s vision.

That’s what makes it as unified as a Mozart symphony — though it’s a treasure trove of world-class entertainment, music, pop, Fine Art, metaverse and its own spooky social media.

“I’m not Facebook, Mozart, van Gogh or Shakespeare. I’m the iPhone that combines it all in but a new way” -Vatican Dolls

THE MYTH OF THE VATICAN DOLLS — HISTORIC BACKGROUND

    • According to the artist’s family, real Vatican Dolls have existed for thousands of years.
    • During a drug-induced near-death experience, the artist became permanently possessed by the Dolls on his 17th birthday.
    • When the artist makes his global live debut on Halloween 2024, the Dolls will appear in public for the first time since Caesar.
    • Legend has it that Vatican Dolls were behind the French Revolution, Grand Guignol, the Communist Manifesto, the Flower Power movement and Bitcoin.

In rural Sicily, the Dolls are still worshipped as fortune tellers.

    • But in Northern Europe, they signify revolt and unrest.
    • Vincent van Gogh knew them as the crows over his wheat fields.
    • International museums, intelligence agencies and private collectors search for the dolls.
    • The artist’s great-grandmother confirmed in an 1985 TV interview that her Venetian family was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church in the late 16th century — officially as a result of its close ties to Voodoo cults, but according to some experts because the head of the family, a former courtesan, could be traced back to Caesarion and consequently Julius Caesar who was still seen as a threat to the church due to his alleged descent from Venus and the Dolls.
    • Some believe the Vatican Dolls inspired Goethe’s Faust, Shelley’s Frankenstein, Wagner’s Tannhäuser, Carlos Castañeda’s Juan, Twin Peaks, X Files and the popular but volatile and highly addictive 19th century drug ether
    • The term Vatican Dolls originates from early pagan belief that Christianity’s most prominent figures — Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit and the Mother of God — were merely dolls made of clay from the Vatican Hill.
    • The clay dolls were rumored to be controlled by celestial beings from the far future known as Moderators via a bloodstained Japanese mask called Ur. Some of the beings were said to be angelic and stunningly beautiful, others less so.
    • Most of the dolls were stolen during World War I and later destroyed in the Reichstag fire in 1933.
    • The two remaining dolls, Dux and Discipula, are said to prophesize the fall of the US and rise of the world’s next super power, pagan Rome, should they ever appear in public.

“My mum thinks they’re Russian Dolls in Chinese boxes” -Vatican Dolls

THE WORLD’S MOST EXCLUSIVE NFTs

IMAGINE if you were allowed to buy and sell Twitter handles.

They would be the ultimate NFTs — unique, unreproducible and instantly verifiable.

But Twitter doesn’t permit that.

So Vatican Dolls designed UrMask.com instead:

It’s the world’s first mainstream social media that allows you to buy and sell 1-6 letter usernames.

Just like you buy and sell any other internet domain.

Vatican Dolls calls them GoldHandles™ because they’re beautiful and open the doors to the future.

THE GOLDHANDLE CLUB

GoldHandles come in two flavors:

NFTs and Standalones:

NFT GoldHandles

Each UrMask NFT — except works from our introduction suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** — includes its own Verified GoldHandle, giving the work a specific, certified and permanent address so everyone can see that your NFT is genuine. Like the title of a song, novel or painting, each GoldHandle is a deeply integrated part of the composition, meticulously selected by the artist to accentuate a certain quality, meaning or sound of that unique NFT.

Standalone Goldhandles

Starting at $100, Standalone GoldHandles are available to everyone from December 1 @ 10am EST 2021 on UrMask.com and Patreon.com/UrMask. Provided on a first-come, first-served basis, Standalone GoldHandles can not be reserved.

Both types make you a member of the exclusive GoldHandle Club which offers an increasing range of benefits.

GoldHandles are the new NFT gold standard:

INTRODUCING THE CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ OF THE HIGH END NFT SPACE

When museums and collectors determine if a work of art is genuine or fake, nothing is more important than the catalogue raisonné — the definitive compendium of an artist’s work, usually created by art historians, curators and friends of the artist.

If a print or painting is not listed in the catalogue, it is often hard — or impossible — to sell. No matter if the work is genuine or not.

So the catalogue can be compared to the gold reserves that once underpinned paper money:

Without it, paper is just paper.

NFTs are the best thing that happened to creative people since Gutenberg, but most of them didn’t offer such a tool until now.

That’s why many NFTs are merely signed fakes. Keep in mind that anyone can mint, sell and buy any stolen NFT — smart contracts can’t tell if they point to genuine art or fake assets.

But with GoldHandles, the world’s most exclusive NFTs are introducing their own catalogue raisonné.

And unlike the traditional catalogue that often cause so much drama, GoldHandles are neutral and very easy to check in any marketplace:

##HOW TO CHECK NFTs BEFORE BUYING

    • 1) Just type the GoldHandle after UrMask.com/ in any browser — or scan the QR code that’s included in many UrMask NFTs
    • 2) Now, you see its official account
    • 3) Click the link above the Kiss button
    • 4) The link sends you back to the marketplace — if it is genuine.

U R M A S K

Welcome to the upcoming — and seriously spooky — Twitter replacement for everyone!

GRAND OPENING Halloween 2022. Usernames available now.

TOTAL PRIVACY We don’t even know your IP address — let alone your phone number.

BUILT FOR NFTs Unlike Twitter, UrMask is super NFT-friendly: Post your OpenSea NFTs on UrMask and everyone can play your videos and songs in perfect loops — and click your buy button!

EASY TO GET FOLLOWERS We don’t bury, shadowban, deboost, downrank or otherwise hide you.

THE KISSING CENTER OF THE WORLD Fans can kiss your NFT — and you! Place your Kiss button on any website just like a Twitter button.

NFT SAFETY Prior to UrMask NFTs, anyone could mint, buy and sell any stolen NFT — and even ‘verify’ the transactions by linking their wallet to various websites. That’s just NFT laundering. Fortunately, UrMask NFTs can not be stolen or faked:

URMASK NFT GOLDHANDLES Each UrMask NFT — except works from our introduction suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** — is built on its own unique GoldHandle that’s easy for anyone to verify.

STANDALONE GOLDHANDLES Standalone GoldHandles are available to everyone from December 1, 2021 @ 10am EST on https://www.UrMask.com and https://www.Patreon.com/UrMask on a first-come, first-served basis.

SHOT! The Instagram killer for a new generation — mind-blowing new freedom for NFT artists, news media, models, designers and everybody else!

FAME & POWER Think of the GOLDHANDLE CLUB as the world’s most exclusive society: Like Warhol’s Factory meets Skull and Bones, Gertrude Stein’s Salon and Grand Guignol in Lucifer’s nightclub. Your GoldHandle is your membership card that opens all the doors.

OWNERSHIP After a testing period by @Bambi and her team, Vatican Dolls takes full control of the platform on Halloween 2021. UrMask is in public beta until October 31, 2022. @gamer will be in charge of the day-to-day management.

INTEGRATED CHARITY Imagine if the world's most popular people automatically linked to charity every time they posted on social media! Unfortunately, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram and Twitter are not into boring stuff like that. But we are. Charity is integrated in all high-end accounts on the platform.

MASKED OR NUDE — PORTRAIT OF THE 21st CENTURY The world’s largest art project is going to combine social media and world class entertainment in ways you've ever seen before.

CIVILIZED, TAKE 1 Unlike Twitter and Facebook that frequently ban the world's finest artists — and yes, we’re talking Titian and Rubens here — UrMask is independent from from app stores and payment processors that prohibit Art history’s most important motif: The human body.

CIVILIZED, TAKE 2 Unlike Facebook, UrMask doesn’t have a hate button, a war room, an algorithm to promote anger, or rules to discriminate against women. But we do have a Kiss button.

NOT FOR ALL THE JEWELS IN THE CROWN

Everybody wants to buy our domain these day, but UrMask is not for sale at any price. And unlike The Facebook, UrMask is never going to change its name either: Reaching all the way back to the cradle of civilization — and far into the metaverse future — UrMask was the perfect name when Vatican Dolls bought the domain for his combined social media and entertainment Metaverse in 2014, and it’s the perfect choice today when the platform is entering public beta as the foundation of the artist’s Gesamtkunstwerk, i.e. total work of art.

YOUR POSTS LOOK AWESOME Headlines! Bold, italics and strike-through! Embedded links!

EXCLUSIVE FEATURES FOR OWNERS OF URMASK NFTs In addition to regular GoldHandle Club benefits, UrMask NFTs also include Verified Star accounts that allow very long posts (10k characters).

POLITICALLY NEUTRAL Express yourself freely.

THE WORLD'S FINEST EMOJIS Popping Champagne. Rockets to Mars. Animated Unicorns!

Sadly, there’s also a dark side:

A DATING SITE — FOR GHOSTS

There’s no way around it:

Behind the scenes, UrMask is a dating site for ghosts.

All they want is revenge over the hangman who took their lives.

So, they built UrMask to make him fall in love with beautiful young @Rose — only to take it all away again.

Fortunately, the ghosts hide their secret identities very well in their day jobs as the Moderators.

And they would almost never haunt or terrorize any innocent users.

If and when they do, it’s usually due to their favorite drug:

The hangman’s signature poison that sent them to the underworld.

Based on scorpion venom and the popular 19th century drug ether, it is extremely addictive.

We shouldn’t blame them.

Usernames available now.

NOT ANOTHER ROAD MAP — AVAILABLE NOW

Though it took Vatican Dolls 17 years to create DID THEY SEE MY CROWN, the artist didn’t mention the work until it was completed in October 2021.

And that’s the way it is with most UrMask NFTs.

Vatican Dolls works are announced when they are ready.

C E R T I F I C A T E

Your NFT is a unique collector’s item created by Vatican Dolls who permanently owns the rights to the work.

YOUR SPECIFIC NFT

This NFT is directly comparable to unique bronze sculptures, etchings, drypoints and other Fine Art originals because:

    • Your NFT is visibly different from all other works in its edition.
    • A classically trained fine artist and musician, Vatican Dolls, personally approved your specific work.
    • The work itself is visibly signed by its own unique 2D GoldHandle.
    • The included one-of-one 3D GoldHandle is visibly signed by Vatican Dolls.
    • The work’s authenticity can instantly be verified by anyone — including art collectors who are not interested in blockchain contracts.
    • Vatican Dolls Editions never exceed 100 originals. 1,000+ reproductions are still common in the NFT space, but not accepted in the world of Fine Art where scarcity is important.
    • Your NFT is a unique collector’s item by Vatican Dolls who permanently owns the copyright to the work. Vatican Dolls also permanently owns all the source files which can be shared with all relevant third parties as proof of full ownership.
    • Like any other historic work of Fine Art, your NFT is part of a large conceptual framework — in this case an entertaining and highly complex ecosystem that it took 17 years to create.
    • When the final work of this edition is sold, its master is permanently deleted so new impressions can’t be made, as is common with Fine Art plates, screens, blocks and stones in order to protect collectors.

This is to certify that all information and statements contained herein are true and correct:

Vatican Dolls October 19, 2021

COPIES VS ORIGINALS — A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Unlike the current NFT space, the world of Fine Art is concerned with scarcity, artistic quality, verification, work process and artist signatures.

It also distinguishes between two types of art:

    • Reproductions. Like newspapers. All copies are identical results of a mechanical process.
    • Originals. Like Fine Art etchings. Each print is the unique result of manual work.

Collectors invest in originals because they are personal and direct expressions with historic value that may increase over time. They don’t buy reproductions, except when a specific item is flawed or becomes rare over time.

Originals, in turn, are also divided in two:

    • Standalone works like paintings and marble sculptures.
    • Limited Edition works like signed silkscreens or bronze sculptures created from a master that is always destroyed after use.

To protect collectors, Limited Editions are regulated by law in the US and many other countries.

Most importantly, sellers are usually required to specify if:

    • The artist manually signed each individual work — not on a contract, but on the work itself
    • The artist was involved in creating each individual work
    • The stencil was canceled after the final impression of the edition

UrMask is to our knowledge the world’s first NFT collection to address these questions.

And the answer is always yes*.

  • NFTs from our suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** are not signed by the artist as they are not works of art, but short texts that introduce the teachings of Vatican Dolls to the world population.

MODERATORS UNDEAD

They rule the world.

You trust them with your life.

They are the Moderators.

All they want is revenge over the hangman who took them out.

Only 100 will ever be minted.

Combine three to gain terrifying powers.

MODERATORS: THE ARTISTIC PROCESS

Vatican Dolls spent two months going through tens of thousands of generated color images — but instead of mechanically publishing them all, good and bad, like an average ape and punk edition, the artist selected the best 200 and began the long process of manually turning each portrait into a unique work of high art integrated with Did They See My Crown? The portrait suite is expected to be completed at the end of 2022.

The artist refers to the underlying generated images as acheiropoieta — meaning ‘not made by human hands’ — a term used about sacred icons in the early Byzantine era.

Instead of the gold of those works, Vatican Dolls often paints his Moderators in the creepy light of the moon.

This is particularly true of Moderators After Dark.

“They are creatures of the night so I wanted them to represent the phases of the moon” -Vatican Dolls

“Hiring moderators is going to be so much more interesting now” -Vatican Dolls

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

Collect three Moderators to own — and moderate — an Undead Forum on UrMask:

    • Terrifying powers
    • Censor anything and cancel anyone
    • Only three Undead Forums will ever be available as NFTs

All 100 Moderators — and their GoldHandles — are seen on stage in Did They See My Crown.

Unlike the vast majority of PFPs, the Moderators are specifically created as tiny social media super avatars. Creating miniatures like that is an art form in itself.

This means that Moderators are clearly visible, no matter how limited visual real-estate sites like Reddit and Twitter assign to your accounts.

Feel free to compare Moderator visibility to any run-of-the-mill ape and punk to see how our undead employees stand out.

Moderators are 100 times more rare than common apes and punks

Also, they obviously look even better on UrMask that allows larger avatars than Twitter…

DON’T BE SQUARE

Fine Art is usually created for a specific medium and destination.

Most Moderators will be used as circular PFPs so they are specifically composed as tondos, round works of fine art.

This approach is radically different from apes and punks:

Most PFPs don’t look good on sites like Twitter because they are full of clutter and designed as square images.

Like Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, each Moderator is composed of elements that work with the circular format, not against it.

Each Moderator also includes a signature version composed for viewing scenarios like homes and museums that allow for larger works than social media avatars.

Like any other UrMask NFT, each Moderator comes with its own unique 3D GoldHandle file.

“The era of square pegs in round holes is over” -Vatican Dolls

UrMask collection image

Being developed for Broadway as of Jan. 5, 2024 — no longer available as NFT

More entertaining than any Matrix or Bond movie, DID THEY SEE MY CROWN? is the world’s most stunning — and expensive — work of art!

Set in its own metaverse and social media URMASK.com, the show is created by history’s greatest superstar, Vatican Dolls.

DOLLS AND DÉBUTANTES

Since 2004, Vatican Dolls has held a series of confidential seminars about twelve ancient clay dolls that inspired his work for an exclusive class of students known as The Débutantes.

Unbounded by traditional values, the empowering teachings became increasingly popular during the pandemic, particularly among young women.

To address the growing interest, parts of the confidential content will soon be available to global mass audiences for the first time on Marias.app and TheDebutantes.org.

The structure and privacy of URMASK’s annual Débutante Ball, ”Masked or Nude,” will not be affected by the initiative.

Welcome to the world's most exclusive NFTs!

See the NFT details at the end of this overview:

    • NFTs that can’t be copied or faked!
    • NFTs your fans can kiss: Place your NFT Kiss button on any website — just like a Facebook button.
    • NFTs created by classically trained Fine Artist and musician Vatican Dolls — not by industrial designers and corporations.

NFTs that are museum quality art

    • NFTs that are created for the world of fine art. Being financially independent, Vatican Dolls reserves the right to kindly decline offers from investors associated with hate or violence. Record labels, streaming services and major social media platforms are not allowed to buy UrMask NFTs.
    • NFTs that are scarce! Mass produced 1,000+ editions are common in the NFT space, but rarity is essential in the world of fine art. UrMask NFT Editions never exceed 100 works, all of which are unique originals like etchings or bronze sculptures. This is a common standard in the art world, where editions beyond 200-500 are seen as reproductions that typically lose their value over time.

NFTs that rival van Gogh, Mozart, Shakespeare and Twitter — rolled into one!

    • NFTs that only a few collectors will ever be able to own, as is always the case with works by major artists because nothing is more time-consuming than creating fine art: As an artist, you first need your ten thousand hours, which barely gets you through art school, and then you need at least another ten to find and develop your personal voice. After that, each work of art is the result of hundreds of experiments, and every artistic choice you make is an evolutionary reference to major works by other masters, taking art history to the next level.

NFTs that are unique:

    • Each Moderator is one-of-a-kind. And a new video is created for each NFT that includes videos.
    • NFTs that are large! All UrMask NFT videos are between 4k and 8k to match museum and gallery screens. In comparison, that's 5-10 times better than our OpenSea previews. The Moderators are around 12,500 x 12,500 pixels, which is more than 150 megapixels — exceeding what you get from today’s finest cameras.
    • NFTs that are specifically created for their medium like any other work of fine art: All videos play in perfect loops. All undead Moderators are composed as tondos, circular works of fine art. And because the Moderators are specifically created as profile pictures, they’re clean, uncluttered portraits that are clearly visible at tiny sizes. This is radically different from apes and punks designed as square images that don’t look good in Twitter and Reddit's round avatars. Vatican Dolls: “The era of square pegs in round holes is over.”

NFTs that are safe, certified and verified:

    • Each NFT — except works from our introduction suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** — is built on its own exclusive GoldHandle™ that anyone can check on UrMask.com. This solves a current problem where anyone can mint, sell and buy any fake NFT and then launder the stolen work by linking a wallet to social media sites. (Keep in mind that smart contracts can’t tell if they point to genuine art or stolen assets.)
    • All UrMask NFTs that are based on JPEGs and PNGs are verified by Adobe's Content Credentials — a service that links the images to Vatican Dolls' personal MetaMask wallet before they are minted as NFTs, adding a strong, extra layer of protection for collectors. UrMask NFTs were among the first in the world to implement this feature on the day it was launched by PhotoShop and we are going to use the service immediately on videos as well if and when it becomes available for Premiere Pro and After Effects.
    • NFTs that don’t infringe on anyone’s copyright, trademark or likeness.

NFTs that are visibly signed!

    • Each NFT — except works from our introduction suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** — includes its own unique and signed 3D GoldHandle that you can use anywhere in the metaverse and virtual galleries. “Without the signature, Duchamp’s Fountain is a urinal,” Vatican Dolls said, reflecting a common view in the art world where most unsigned works are considered worthless, and signed contracts — digital or not — don’t carry the same aesthetic or emotional weight as a real signature on a painting, sculpture or print.
    • NFTs that only holders may use as avatars: To protect collectors, UrMask is using image detection services to take down illegal profile pictures.

NFTs that open secret doors

    • NFTs that are deeply original: Each work grows organically out of an extremely elaborate ecosystem built on top of a story as entertaining as any Matrix or Bond movie.
    • NFTs that can’t be rented — you are the real owner.
    • NFTs that won’t be released on streaming platforms or sold from record stores.
    • NFTs that don’t include potentially risky options like profit sharing, play-to-earn, fractions, shares or anything else that may be related to securities.

NFTs that double as membership cards for the GoldHandle Club

    • NFTs that include Verified social media accounts.
    • NFTs that are here to stay: It took Vatican Dolls every day for 17 years to create the underlying work DID THEY SEE MY CROWN? which was copyrighted in early versions in 2011 and 2016 but never pitched, mentioned or shown to producers, agents, directors or anyone else before Halloween 2021.
    • NFTs that fans can easily find, follow, like and comment on.
    • NFTs you can dance to!

Max five new NFTs are minted per day.

THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE NFT

DID THEY SEE MY CROWN? is history’s most expensive NFT.

And it’s worth it.

Combining the classic charm of Broadway with social media and the full power & magic of Hollywood, it’s history’s first successful Gesamtkunstwerk — or total work of art.

It took one artist, Vatican Dolls, every day for more than 17 years to...

    • Develop the structure and concept
    • Compose all 17 melodies
    • Create all characters
    • Write the story
    • Write all lyrics
    • Write the script
    • Arrange the music
    • Play all instruments
    • Sing all vocals
    • Record and mix all music as a guide to cast and orchestra and to showcase the work at the official Reading Sessions where script, songs and metaverse are presented to producers and directors
    • Create Bitcoin Heroine: The superstar of the Show — and the new face of bitcoin
    • Build the show’s metaverse
    • Design the metaverse’s unique VR headset [copyrighted in 2017, scheduled for release in 2024]
    • Draw, paint, sculpt and animate all included 2D and 3D artworks
    • Create all videos
    • Create all stage sets
    • Design every pixel and function of the integrated social media UrMask.com where all characters have accounts

Nobody has ever created anything like it...

Many major artists — most notably Wagner and Warhol — tried, but failed:

Wagner could not create his own characters, myths and stories.

Warhol could not create his own music.

And a Gesamtkunstwerk needs to be powered by one artist’s vision.

That’s what makes it as unified as a Mozart symphony — though it’s a treasure trove of world-class entertainment, music, pop, Fine Art, metaverse and its own spooky social media.

“I’m not Facebook, Mozart, van Gogh or Shakespeare. I’m the iPhone that combines it all in but a new way” -Vatican Dolls

THE MYTH OF THE VATICAN DOLLS — HISTORIC BACKGROUND

    • According to the artist’s family, real Vatican Dolls have existed for thousands of years.
    • During a drug-induced near-death experience, the artist became permanently possessed by the Dolls on his 17th birthday.
    • When the artist makes his global live debut on Halloween 2024, the Dolls will appear in public for the first time since Caesar.
    • Legend has it that Vatican Dolls were behind the French Revolution, Grand Guignol, the Communist Manifesto, the Flower Power movement and Bitcoin.

In rural Sicily, the Dolls are still worshipped as fortune tellers.

    • But in Northern Europe, they signify revolt and unrest.
    • Vincent van Gogh knew them as the crows over his wheat fields.
    • International museums, intelligence agencies and private collectors search for the dolls.
    • The artist’s great-grandmother confirmed in an 1985 TV interview that her Venetian family was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church in the late 16th century — officially as a result of its close ties to Voodoo cults, but according to some experts because the head of the family, a former courtesan, could be traced back to Caesarion and consequently Julius Caesar who was still seen as a threat to the church due to his alleged descent from Venus and the Dolls.
    • Some believe the Vatican Dolls inspired Goethe’s Faust, Shelley’s Frankenstein, Wagner’s Tannhäuser, Carlos Castañeda’s Juan, Twin Peaks, X Files and the popular but volatile and highly addictive 19th century drug ether
    • The term Vatican Dolls originates from early pagan belief that Christianity’s most prominent figures — Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit and the Mother of God — were merely dolls made of clay from the Vatican Hill.
    • The clay dolls were rumored to be controlled by celestial beings from the far future known as Moderators via a bloodstained Japanese mask called Ur. Some of the beings were said to be angelic and stunningly beautiful, others less so.
    • Most of the dolls were stolen during World War I and later destroyed in the Reichstag fire in 1933.
    • The two remaining dolls, Dux and Discipula, are said to prophesize the fall of the US and rise of the world’s next super power, pagan Rome, should they ever appear in public.

THE WORLD’S MOST EXCLUSIVE NFTs

IMAGINE if you were allowed to buy and sell Twitter handles.

They would be the ultimate NFTs — unique, unreproducible and instantly verifiable.

But Twitter doesn’t permit that.

So Vatican Dolls designed UrMask.com instead:

It’s the world’s first mainstream social media that allows you to buy and sell 1-6 letter usernames.

Just like you buy and sell any other internet domain.

Vatican Dolls calls them GoldHandles™ because they’re beautiful and open the doors to the future.

THE GOLDHANDLE CLUB

GoldHandles come in two flavors:

NFTs and Standalones:

NFT GoldHandles

Each UrMask NFT — except works from our introduction suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** — includes its own Verified GoldHandle, giving the work a specific, certified and permanent address so everyone can see that your NFT is genuine. Like the title of a song, novel or painting, each GoldHandle is a deeply integrated part of the composition, meticulously selected by the artist to accentuate a certain quality, meaning or sound of that unique NFT.

Standalone Goldhandles

Starting at $100, Standalone GoldHandles are available to everyone from December 1 @ 10am EST 2021 on UrMask.com and Patreon.com/UrMask. Provided on a first-come, first-served basis, Standalone GoldHandles can not be reserved.

Both types make you a member of the exclusive GoldHandle Club which offers an increasing range of benefits.

GoldHandles are the new NFT gold standard:

INTRODUCING THE CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ OF THE HIGH END NFT SPACE

When museums and collectors determine if a work of art is genuine or fake, nothing is more important than the catalogue raisonné — the definitive compendium of an artist’s work, usually created by art historians, curators and friends of the artist.

If a print or painting is not listed in the catalogue, it is often hard — or impossible — to sell. No matter if the work is genuine or not.

So the catalogue can be compared to the gold reserves that once underpinned paper money:

Without it, paper is just paper.

NFTs are the best thing that happened to creative people since Gutenberg, but most of them didn’t offer such a tool until now.

That’s why many NFTs are merely signed fakes. Keep in mind that anyone can mint, sell and buy any stolen NFT — smart contracts can’t tell if they point to genuine art or fake assets.

But with GoldHandles, the world’s most exclusive NFTs are introducing their own catalogue raisonné.

And unlike the traditional catalogue that often cause so much drama, GoldHandles are neutral and very easy to check in any marketplace:

    • 1) Just type the GoldHandle after UrMask.com/ in any browser — or scan the QR code that’s included in many UrMask NFTs
    • 2) Now, you see its official account
    • 3) Click the link above the Kiss button
    • 4) The link sends you back to the marketplace — if it is genuine.

U R M A S K

Welcome to the upcoming — and seriously spooky — Twitter replacement for everyone!

GRAND OPENING Halloween 2022. Usernames available now.

TOTAL PRIVACY We don’t even know your IP address — let alone your phone number.

BUILT FOR NFTs Unlike Twitter, UrMask is super NFT-friendly: Post your OpenSea NFTs on UrMask and everyone can play your videos and songs in perfect loops — and click your buy button!

EASY TO GET FOLLOWERS We don’t bury, shadowban, deboost, downrank or otherwise hide you.

THE KISSING CENTER OF THE WORLD Fans can kiss your NFT — and you! Place your Kiss button on any website just like a Twitter button.

NFT SAFETY Prior to UrMask NFTs, anyone could mint, buy and sell any stolen NFT — and even ‘verify’ the transactions by linking their wallet to various websites. That’s just NFT laundering. Fortunately, UrMask NFTs can not be stolen or faked:

URMASK NFT GOLDHANDLES Each UrMask NFT — except works from our introduction suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** — is built on its own unique GoldHandle that’s easy for anyone to verify.

STANDALONE GOLDHANDLES Standalone GoldHandles are available to everyone from December 1, 2021 @ 10am EST on https://www.UrMask.com and https://www.Patreon.com/UrMask on a first-come, first-served basis.

SHOT! The Instagram killer for a new generation — mind-blowing new freedom for NFT artists, news media, models, designers and everybody else!

FAME & POWER Think of the GOLDHANDLE CLUB as the world’s most exclusive society: Like Warhol’s Factory meets Skull and Bones, Gertrude Stein’s Salon and Grand Guignol in Lucifer’s nightclub. Your GoldHandle is your membership card that opens all the doors.

OWNERSHIP After a testing period by @Bambi and her team, Vatican Dolls takes full control of the platform on Halloween 2021. UrMask is in public beta until October 31, 2022. @gamer will be in charge of the day-to-day management.

INTEGRATED CHARITY Imagine if the world's most popular people automatically linked to charity every time they posted on social media! Unfortunately, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram and Twitter are not into boring stuff like that. But we are. Charity is integrated in all high-end accounts on the platform.

MASKED OR NUDE — PORTRAIT OF THE 21st CENTURY The world’s largest art project is going to combine social media and world class entertainment in ways you've ever seen before.

CIVILIZED, TAKE 1 Unlike Twitter and Facebook that frequently ban the world's finest artists — and yes, we’re talking Titian and Rubens here — UrMask is independent from from app stores and payment processors that prohibit Art history’s most important motif: The human body.

CIVILIZED, TAKE 2 Unlike Facebook, UrMask doesn’t have a hate button, a war room, an algorithm to promote anger, or rules to discriminate against women. But we do have a Kiss button.

NOT FOR ALL THE JEWELS IN THE CROWN

Everybody wants to buy our domain these day, but UrMask is not for sale at any price. And unlike The Facebook, UrMask is never going to change its name either: Reaching all the way back to the cradle of civilization — and far into the metaverse future — UrMask was the perfect name when Vatican Dolls bought the domain for his combined social media and entertainment Metaverse in 2014, and it’s the perfect choice today when the platform is entering public beta as the foundation of the artist’s Gesamtkunstwerk, i.e. total work of art.

YOUR POSTS LOOK AWESOME Headlines! Bold, italics and strike-through! Embedded links!

EXCLUSIVE FEATURES FOR OWNERS OF URMASK NFTs In addition to regular GoldHandle Club benefits, UrMask NFTs also include Verified Star accounts that allow very long posts (10k characters).

POLITICALLY NEUTRAL Express yourself freely.

THE WORLD'S FINEST EMOJIS Popping Champagne. Rockets to Mars. Animated Unicorns!

Sadly, there’s also a dark side:

A DATING SITE — FOR GHOSTS

There’s no way around it:

Behind the scenes, UrMask is a dating site for ghosts.

All they want is revenge over the hangman who took their lives.

So, they built UrMask to make him fall in love with beautiful young @Rose — only to take it all away again.

Fortunately, the ghosts hide their secret identities very well in their day jobs as the Moderators.

And they would almost never haunt or terrorize any innocent users.

If and when they do, it’s usually due to their favorite drug:

The hangman’s signature poison that sent them to the underworld.

Based on scorpion venom and the popular 19th century drug ether, it is extremely addictive.

We shouldn’t blame them.

Usernames available now.

NOT ANOTHER ROAD MAP — AVAILABLE NOW

Though it took Vatican Dolls 17 years to create DID THEY SEE MY CROWN, the artist didn’t mention the work until it was completed in October 2021.

And that’s the way it is with most UrMask NFTs.

Vatican Dolls works are announced when they are ready.

C E R T I F I C A T E

Your NFT is a unique collector’s item created by Vatican Dolls who permanently owns the rights to the work.

YOUR SPECIFIC NFT

This NFT is directly comparable to unique bronze sculptures, etchings, drypoints and other Fine Art originals because:

    • Your NFT is visibly different from all other works in its edition.
    • A classically trained fine artist and musician, Vatican Dolls, personally approved your specific work.
    • The work itself is visibly signed by its own unique 2D GoldHandle.
    • The included one-of-one 3D GoldHandle is visibly signed by Vatican Dolls.
    • The work’s authenticity can instantly be verified by anyone — including art collectors who are not interested in blockchain contracts.
    • Vatican Dolls Editions never exceed 100 originals. 1,000+ reproductions are still common in the NFT space, but not accepted in the world of Fine Art where scarcity is important.
    • Your NFT is a unique collector’s item by Vatican Dolls who permanently owns the copyright to the work. Vatican Dolls also permanently owns all the source files which can be shared with all relevant third parties as proof of full ownership.
    • Like any other historic work of Fine Art, your NFT is part of a large conceptual framework — in this case an entertaining and highly complex ecosystem that it took 17 years to create.
    • When the final work of this edition is sold, its master is permanently deleted so new impressions can’t be made, as is common with Fine Art plates, screens, blocks and stones in order to protect collectors.

This is to certify that all information and statements contained herein are true and correct:

Vatican Dolls October 19, 2021

COPIES VS ORIGINALS — A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Unlike the current NFT space, the world of Fine Art is concerned with scarcity, artistic quality, verification, work process and artist signatures.

It also distinguishes between two types of art:

    • Reproductions. Like newspapers. All copies are identical results of a mechanical process.
    • Originals. Like Fine Art etchings. Each print is the unique result of manual work.

Collectors invest in originals because they are personal and direct expressions with historic value that may increase over time. They don’t buy reproductions, except when a specific item is flawed or becomes rare over time.

Originals, in turn, are also divided in two:

    • Standalone works like paintings and marble sculptures.
    • Limited Edition works like signed silkscreens or bronze sculptures created from a master that is always destroyed after use.

To protect collectors, Limited Editions are regulated by law in the US and many other countries.

Most importantly, sellers are usually required to specify if:

    • The artist manually signed each individual work — not on a contract, but on the work itself
    • The artist was involved in creating each individual work
    • The stencil was canceled after the final impression of the edition

UrMask is to our knowledge the world’s first NFT collection to address these questions.

And the answer is always yes*.

  • NFTs from our suite ***Vatican Dolls Cult™ *** are not signed by the artist as they are not works of art, but short texts that introduce the teachings of Vatican Dolls to the world population.

“Without the signature, Duchamp’s Fountain is a urinal” -Vatican Dolls

MODERATORS UNDEAD

They rule the world.

You trust them with your life.

They are the Moderators.

All they want is revenge over the hangman who took them out.

Only 100 will ever be minted.

Combine three to gain terrifying powers.

MODERATORS: THE ARTISTIC PROCESS

Vatican Dolls spent two months going through tens of thousands of generated color images — but instead of mechanically publishing them all, good and bad, like an average ape and punk edition, the artist selected the best 200 and began the long process of manually turning each portrait into a unique work of high art integrated with Did They See My Crown? The portrait suite is expected to be completed at the end of 2022.

The artist refers to the underlying generated images as acheiropoieta — meaning ‘not made by human hands’ — a term used about sacred icons in the early Byzantine era.

Instead of the gold of those works, Vatican Dolls often paints his Moderators in the creepy light of the moon.

This is particularly true of Moderators After Dark.

“They are creatures of the night so I wanted them to represent the phases of the moon” -Vatican Dolls

“Hiring moderators is going to be so much more interesting now” -Vatican Dolls

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

Collect three Moderators to own — and moderate — an Undead Forum on UrMask:

    • Terrifying powers
    • Censor anything and cancel anyone
    • Only three Undead Forums will ever be available as NFTs

All 100 Moderators — and their GoldHandles — are seen on stage in Did They See My Crown.

Unlike the vast majority of PFPs, the Moderators are specifically created as tiny social media super avatars. Creating miniatures like that is an art form in itself.

This means that Moderators are clearly visible, no matter how limited visual real-estate sites like Reddit and Twitter assign to your accounts.

Feel free to compare Moderator visibility to any run-of-the-mill ape and punk to see how our undead employees stand out.

Moderators are 100 times more rare than common apes and punks

Also, they obviously look even better on UrMask that allows larger avatars than Twitter…

DON’T BE SQUARE

Fine Art is usually created for a specific medium and destination.

Most Moderators will be used as circular PFPs so they are specifically composed as tondos, round works of fine art.

This approach is radically different from apes and punks:

Most PFPs don’t look good on sites like Twitter because they are full of clutter and designed as square images.

Like Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, each Moderator is composed of elements that work with the circular format, not against it.

Each Moderator also includes a signature version composed for viewing scenarios like homes and museums that allow for larger works than social media avatars.

Like any other UrMask NFT, each Moderator comes with its own unique 3D GoldHandle file.

“The era of square pegs in round holes is over” -Vatican Dolls

Being developed for Broadway as of Jan. 5, 2024 — no longer available as NFT

More entertaining than any Matrix or Bond movie, DID THEY SEE MY CROWN? is the world’s most stunning — and expensive — work of art!

Set in its own metaverse and social media URMASK.com, the show is created by history’s greatest superstar, Vatican Dolls.

DOLLS AND DÉBUTANTES

Since 2004, Vatican Dolls has held a series of confidential seminars about twelve ancient clay dolls that inspired his work for an exclusive class of students known as The Débutantes.

Unbounded by traditional values, the empowering teachings became increasingly popular during the pandemic, particularly among young women.

To address the growing interest, parts of the confidential content will soon be available to global mass audiences for the first time on Marias.app and TheDebutantes.org.

The structure and privacy of URMASK’s annual Débutante Ball, ”Masked or Nude,” will not be affected by the initiative.
