Every single time. Bottle of rum and some shave ice from the snow cone vendor. It only have one jouvert band remaining and 2024 is their last year 🥹😭 @3canal
Did you know that a strawberry squid's eyes are different sizes to help it hunt and avoid predators? It uses its larger eye to look upward for shadows, and its smaller eye to look downward for flashes of bioluminescence.

So much chatter about 95% of NFTS being worthless. Here’s my take on why I believe the opposite
1. NFTs are a mechanism, not a means to an end. If the focus is on how NFTs can make me rich, the conversation will absolutely & ALWAYS remain transactional.
2. Value and worth is created over time. It cannot be measured in a few months or a year. It goes through cycles.
3. I believe, as a community, we are a culture, not a product. Culture takes time to develop. Culture receives tremendous pushback from the haters. Going against conventional status-quo is an uphill climb.
4. My focus and the biggest reason of being in this space is to create the best art with the tech that is available, with trad media & digital. It is looking towards the future, giving importance to provenance, Intellectual Property, innovation etc & understanding the true meaning of digital ownership in the long term.
5. I make art because it is who I am. If people resonate with my art, have the means to own it and make it a part of their lives then it is a privilege for ME.
I set the value of my art. I get to decide how I value myself and my art in the short term and long.
6. Changing culture takes conviction. It takes courage to dig your heels and say I am not doing this for the short term.
There is a big difference between projects and art. While projects come and go, art is a constant. A voice of the times we live in.
7. NFTs as a tech will only evolve, it will be here, the internet as we know it today, will change. It is on us, as a community to make it worthwhile.
I will continue to be here, make the best art, hang out with my community, face challenges head on.
Why? Because I am an artist, I make NFTs and that is fucking, VALUABLE !
“Entering Greenzland” is my compacted history of the relationship I’ve built with Grenada since my appearance in soca 1999 to now. This version posted is the Drumless / No Percussion version. Actual song is out everywhere.
