A couple decades ago this guy was dating a close friend of mine, and I was a major asshole towards him, for reasons that probably made more sense at the time. Dude was quite talented, honestly.

I've made thousands of images, and it hasn't led me to mint a single NFT. What it HAS done is re-invigorate a dead idea I had for a game and caused me to over the last few weeks assemble a crew on discord and start working on said game.
