Wow, what a year it's been!โค๏ธ
Had to upgrade to premium just for this post, haha! No sales on ETH, but definitely a year full of huge wins for me.

I jumped into this space in October 2021, never imagining I'd come this far. I felt super confident in my art, but second guessed myself thinking about how others might perceive it. But the comments, the praise, they kept me going.
None of this wouldโve happened without
@ps_visualz inviting me to the space. Back then, I had no clue what NFTs even were, so I was a total butt pain asking for help to get started.
But Iโm beyond grateful I took that leap. Had some big sales I didnโt expect, connected with amazing artists worldwide, and made friends who feel like family.

I exhibited internationally in New York, Belgium, Australia, Dubai, Bali, and Philadelphia, with Times Square coming up in 2025. These dreams came true, and even though sales werenโt big, those wins kept me going.
Tried new art platforms, engaged in airdrops (even if they didnโt bring in much), supported fellow artists, collaborated, and made huge sales on
@vitruveochain. People can bash the platform, but Iโm in it for the long haul. I believe in its long term vision.
And the Web3 graphic design gigs I got to work on were incredibly exciting.
I'm feeling incredibly blessed and grateful as an artist.
None of this wouldโve been possible without the support of the community, especially those core people whoโve been there for me no matter what. You know who you are, and I love you all.

My MacBook broke in June, and I still don't have the funds for a new one, but it's a big goal for 2025, to get the equipment and the dream workspace I need.
Despite, I managed to sketch a lot of art, and Iโm excited to bring those ideas to life this year. Iโm also looking forward to expand my creative journey in ways I havenโt yet explored.

Embrace the journey, trust the process, and never be afraid to start something new, even if itโs unclear.
Every step, no matter how small, adds to the bigger picture. And never forget, the community is everything. You donโt get anywhere alone.
Also, remember, not every sale will come, and that doesnโt mean your art isnโt valuable or good enough. Itโs part of the process. The right people will find you, and the right opportunities will come in time.
Keep creating for the love of it, and stay true to yourself. The journey is long, but itโs worth it, even in the quiet moments.

As we step into the new year, hereโs to more growth, new connections, and endless creativity.
May 2025 be a year of even bigger wins, more dreams realised, and staying true to the art that speaks to our hearts.
Happy New Year, beautiful people! Letโs keep pushing forward.๐ค
