@0xJetski@Azuki2556@base@LongWeiLegend Seeing a baby often makes it hard to envision their grown-up self. However, when it’s someone you know, their baby photo reveals just a younger version of them. Knowing the people on this team, I can confidently say this baby is destined for greatness. 🔥🐉🥚

I couldn't resist a fun Thortilla that fights for good cause.
Let's all #Toast4Peace. Not just on August 31st, but everyday. If we all stopped bickering and instead started building the limits of what we could achieve all but disappear. If you are interested, click through to get involved.
@0xJetski@LongWeiLegend This is the most genuine and caring group of artists I have ever come across on this wild internet. A lot of projects throw the word fam around as an empty term of endearment, but with this team it has always felt genuine and they have shown time & time again how much they care🫶
It’s been a while since I last posted about game time with Dookie Dash. Gaming with my daughter, who was 11 at the time and made it to the top alongside pro gamers, was such a fun time!
We just launched a small collection on the Base chain via Magic Eden. This is a project our small collective is incredibly proud of, despite the market nosediving yesterday, quite literally just hours before the launch. To make things even tougher, multiple reports came in about people being unable to mint in the first phase. Ever felt like swimming against the impossible? Yup, that was it!
When people look for momentum, we had none. But here we are, still standing; momentum is nothing without passion, and we collectively share a similar mindset. We also launched without securing any premint % for the team. Why did we choose to mint our own Dragons (not premint)? For two reasons:
1) Many teams secure a % for their team & marketing. We chose to do something different, to level the playing field by participating in our own collection, just like any other community member. It’s about fairness.
2) Why should others mint if you don’t believe in your own work? It’s the same as success in anything in RL; believe in yourself before others do. It’s a powerful mantra. I choose to believe in our small collective of brilliant artists and creative geniuses. I minted these little Dragons, featuring my daughter’s calligraphy, chosen by @ejthek_art in our team to symbolize the Year of the Dragon. It’s personal, supporting the collective and my young daughter combined.
Spotlight time: If you do a little DYOR, you’ll find our team members are well-established. Don’t mind yours truly, just a little nobody sitting in the south corner of the earth ;)
But back to the point...the team is entirely awesome artists and above all, beautiful human beings I'm humbled to work alongside with! They’ve been artists long before crypto art & PFP collections existed:
@ShinjiAkhirah (a brother from another mother) has worked with many global brands offline
@rutgervandertas, a brilliant artist with such a gentle soul, was named a Top 10 Crypto Artist in 2021
& The MVP of the Long Wei collection: @ejthek_art the multi-talented technical artist, meticulous with details and so much more. He’s not only a creative genius but also a low-key, humble human being I’m proud to call a friend
Did I mint our own collection? You betcha! While I don't know what my collective team will do with theirs, you may be wondering what I will do with these dragons I personally minted. For me, they will 100% sit in my collection regardless of the “floor.” NFTs are simply the medium for art, and art is meant to be enjoyeeeeed, something to be proud of.
The Year of the Dragon holds deep meaning in my heritage, Asian culture. I might even give these away before the transformation phase happens later this year. I will not to sell them, so consider these dragons out of circulation ;) I may be open to trade the traditional way though, collecting without pressures of price is how it should be with digital collectibles. Imagine the fun of ripping through packs of collectibles and trading with your friends and other collectors, that's the vibe. We're about the joy and pride they bring, not the price tag.
How many teams are still standing after launching with much higher mint prices? This entire experience, self-funded and born from the joy of creation, aims to enrich the collecting experience, even amidst the NFT exodus.
If you believe in art, artists, and indie creators, I invite you to support our small yet dedicated team. Take pride in owning art directed and created by a truly decentralized team focused on enriching the NFT experience. The mint price is a mere 0.003 ETH, a small amount that won’t break the bank. Support a zero VC, artist-led team that genuinely cares about the space
Where to mint?
https://t.co/tRspdHEM9L a completely fresh collection of Dragons set to transform later in the year. We stay away from free mints because we pay it forward (strange, right? But yes!)
Despite the doom and gloom, there are still people who remain optimistic about the space we share. I'll leave it here: Believe in something or nothing at all. This space is here to stay, and we’re in it for the long haul. Are you a believoor too?
Shoutout to the @MagicEden team for a streamlined launch process. They vetted projects and teams like no other because they care! 🫡
We're sorry for those who had trouble minting in during the WL phases. A special thank YOU to those who've already minted their dragons!💛
With the approval of $ETH ETF, the dragons might just awaken and breathe fire back into the markets 🐉🔥
Perhaps it's time to prime your mind for a roaring alt & NFTs run
Proud to share that Long Wei is coming to @base on @magiceden at the end of Q2!
Are you on the WL? 🔵
@fabinrasheed@Kollector_token@ledoluna@Benza333@0xmj_@ShinjiAkhirah It's one thing to reference while hashing out ideas, but to essentially trace said reference material and submit it as original work for a commercial venture, especially when you can see while taking a GOOD look that they are selling it, is something else.

@Kollector_token@0xmj_ To be honest, this breaks my heart.
You be the judge. I have worked with her in the past and she is always beyond nice, but this is one hell of a "reference" to omit.
This is becoming an increasingly dangerous game, especially with the rise of AI to detect this kind of stuff.
