I am Cartyisme and I'm an artist interested in cryptocurrency. The following is the process and product of my attempt at a cryptogram. A booklet which contains 13 drawings that act as mnemonic seed for a Monero wallet; a privacy centric cryptocurrency. 50 Booklets were printed and left in public at various locations throughout Central California. .105 XMR, about 40usd, was placed in the corresponding wallet. A reward for whomever figures it out and uses the mnemonic seed to enter the Monero Wallet. Below are scans, pictures, and screenshots of the project. From start to finish.

TLDR: The book is a private key/pass phrase to a Monero Wallet. 50 books were printed and left in public. If you used the images to enter the wallet you won cryptocurrency. You can check out the whole process below.
