Green: Last but certainly not least. @ogfooh A cold DM from a guy interested in buying my work, when I had less than 3k followers, set the stage for a full-fledged partnership and friendship that has lasted well into the 6th year. I've been lucky enough to see him have his second child, share meals and stories, spend meaningful time learning about his life, and share parts of my life that I haven't shared with others before. Everything from airdrops and sales bots to ticketing systems and correspondence has been handled by fooh. The key to success is having someone in your corner who will be there for you in the highs and the lows. I'm lucky to have a best friend like you.

The question I was asked the most that night was: “How does it feel?” Honestly… I still don’t know. Artists work their whole lives hoping for a moment like this. Most never get to see it happen in real time— let alone stand in the middle of it. There’s a part of me that feels undeserving. And another part of me that wants to scream from the little apple rooftops. But like my work and maybe even to a fault, the 'objet petit a' always lingers just out of reach. But I’m trying to hold it, even for a moment. I’m lucky to have friends and collectors reminding me to celebrate, to take it in. I spent most of that night looking at everyone else’s faces. And I think that says something about what this moment really is. This wasn’t just my celebration. It was a celebration of you. Of us. Of everything we’ve built together. More soon. But for now— thank you.
