Frequently asked questions
Is the Same toilet used in every photo?
Unfortunately not. I use one toilet as long as I can, but inevitably they break. They are also difficult to bring on airplanes.
Is it a real toilet?
Always. Every time. No excuses. Toilets weigh 80-100lbs, and do not fit in most bags.
Do I make a real bowel movement in the toilet?
I do not. Toilets are kept clean.
Shot X can’t be real, did you fake that one?
No. It took me years of training to build up the strength, skills, and endurance to reach these far-flung places with my toilet. Check out the behind-the-scenes videos on the Youtube channel to see what actually goes into each shot.
How can I get involved?
Subscribe to my Youtube channel, follow me on Strava, follow me on Instagram @benshitsart, buy some merch, or buy an NFT when they come out.
How Can I buy An NFT?
On the drop date (TBD), visit the collection on OpenSea. There will be two auctions running on OpenSea, one for single NFTs and one for the “Collection”. Both will be on mainnet Ethereum. To participate in the auction, follow OpenSea’s guidelines for more information on how to place bids. Once the auction concludes, NFTs will be available for resale on the open market.
How can I learn about future Drops?
Join the Discord, mailing list, check this website frequently, and follow along on Youtube/Instagram/Twitter.
What does owning a single NFT Get me?
Owners of the single NFTs gain access to exclusive merchandise, like signed calendars. They also gain access to the DAO with one vote, and early notification+access to future drops & events.
What does owning The collection Get me?
Owners of the collection gain all the privileges as single NFT holders, plus:
a signed hardcover 11”x11” coffee table book featuring all the photos in the collection
a trip to any location in your set of 12 random photos, to take photos on the toilet with me
one of these photos can be minted in the “fan collection”
option to trade in (burn) your NFT for the “gold edition” book: a 14”x14” hardcover book featuring only the 12 unique photos in your collection
12 votes in the DAO
What does membership in the DAO get me?
Access to exclusive merchandise, and early or exclusive access to future NFT drops. Future drops may be sold at discount prices to DAO members, instead of going up for auction. If you send me photos of yourself on toilets in scenic locales, I will include them in future DAO collection mints.
DAO members can also vote on future locations, scenes, and photo/video ideas.
I will aim to create all photo ideas barring egregious legal ramifications.
Will future collections always consist of Ben on a toilet?
No spoilers
I have Skills, can I help out?
Yes please! And you will gain membership to the DAO. Join the Discord or reach out to me on Instagram. While I take most of the photos myself, I occasionally invite photographers to help out. I also take a lot of the video myself but will never turn away a videographer. Part of the joy is figuring out how to carry all my equipment myself, but I also won’t turn away help carrying the toilet or other equipment to a shoot. I could also use help with web designers/frontend engineers.
