Back in 2021, this artist found himself at a crossroads, at rock bottom with nowhere to go but up. That was when he took a bold step into the world of crypto, hoping to find new possibilities in digital art. His talent quickly caught the eye of the Bored Ape community, and soon, he was offered an opportunity by a creator who wanted him to design an ape-inspired derivative collection. Fueled by passion and hope, he poured his soul into the project, and after the mint, it seemed like his hard work was beginning to pay off. The first payment came through, a symbol of validation and a promise of brighter days ahead. But as he approached the next milestone, he received a message that crushed him—there would be no second payment. The money had vanished. Just as he’d begun to find his footing, he was left with nothing but empty promises. He could have given up, but instead, he chose to push forward, determined to prove to himself that he could start again, even from scratch. It was a struggle, a journey riddled with self-doubt and challenge, but he never let go of his passion. Through it all, the Bored Ape community became a pillar of strength for him. Their unwavering support helped him through the darkest times, and he’s never forgotten it. This new project, a heartfelt homage to the BAYC community, is his way of giving back, honoring those who stood by him. Today, a group of friends who know his journey want to help him recover what was lost in 2021. Every dollar from this mint will go directly into his wallet, supporting the dream he never abandoned. Together, they’re rallying to bring his art to life and remind the world of the resilience, spirit, and unwavering belief that every artist deserves to be recognized and rewarded. And now, they invite you to join them—to make this collection a success and give this artist the support he’s long deserved.
