BLOOM - A LITTLE UPDATE FROM THE GARDEN 🌱 (Read more in the 3 threads below) I've been thinking about BLOOM a lot lately. Not about how quickly I can release the next thing. Not about how much we can fit into one year. Just about what I want BLOOM to become, and how I want it to feel years from now. The more I think about it, the more I feel like BLOOM doesn't need to be rushed. The 669 were the beginning. They gave us the foundation, the first garden, the first people who believed in what I was trying to create. Everything that comes after should be treated with that same care. So I'm changing the way I look at the journey. Instead of trying to constantly have something new happening, I want BLOOM to move naturally. I'm thinking two meaningful movements each year, not two forced drops, not two things made just because people are expecting something. Two things that are actually worth making. Some years it might be art. Some years it might be a collaboration, something for the collectors, something physical, or something inside the Garden. And sometimes it might be something completely unexpected. If something needs more time, I'll give it more time. I'd rather make something people remember than make something people simply scroll past. --- THE NEXT GROWTH One of the things coming next is a small collaboration chapter. I'm thinking around 10–20 artists. A very small group of people whose work I genuinely believe can bring something beautiful into the world of BLOOM. Different artists. Different hands. Different stories. But one garden. I don't want it to feel like one of those huge collaboration campaigns where names are simply added together. I want each artist to have a reason for being there. Something they bring. Something that becomes part of the story. Then we move into something I've been quietly looking forward to for a long time. --- CHAPTER III - BLOOMIANS The Bloomians. The Bloomians are coming early in 2027. They aren't here to replace the original 669, and they aren't meant to feel disconnected from them. They're another part of the world that grew from the original BLOOM. The 669 are the foundation. The Bloomians are what begins growing from it. Characters, personalities, stories and a different way of experiencing the universe. And I'm not interested in forcing a number just because people want to know the number. When they're ready, they'll be ready. For the collectors who were here from the beginning, I want this chapter to feel like something you're stepping into rather than something you're simply being sold. You were here before the faces had names. That matters. --- CHAPTER IV - THE ROOTS And then there is Chapter IV: The Roots. I'm going to keep this one close to my chest. I don't want to explain it yet. I'll only give you a little hint. Every flower eventually has to learn how to stand on its own. There comes a point where the beautiful part isn't enough. You have to build. You have to try things. You have to make decisions, take risks, fail sometimes, learn and keep going. BLOOM will eventually have to find its own way in the world. What that means exactly? I'll let you discover that when the time comes. I think the reveal will mean more if you don't know everything beforehand. For now, just remember the name: The Roots. There's more underneath BLOOM than you can see. Continue in the thread below 🌸

Spotted: the 10 NFT artworks you all shared most in the last 24 hours 👀✨ No picks, no pay-to-play… just pieces people loved enough to share. Ranked purely by reposts + quotes, likes break ties. You know you love them. 💕 Shills 🧵

Gm Gm NFTs Some ppl asked me : - Why in @ThisIsArtBytes you don’t do things like coins, farming… or at least NFTs on every chain cause there are many that come out everyday ? The answer is simple as that : - ArtBytes isn’t an alpha group. That’s a digital art collectors group. We support artists / collections that we love & see some potential in (big or small) & we trade too (not for burgers) in order to be able to hold pieces we love the most for the long run. As exemple 2 of my last buys are @argonauts9999 by @lphaCentauriKid & Remnants by @WalaatbP One is talented, pretty famous, sold a 10k pfp for 0.12eth each & the other one is talented, far less famous (for now at least) & try to mint out a beautiful 100 collection of 1/1s at 0.03eth each. I support both cause i love their art & I think they if we also support « little » collections without being focused on profit it will be a win-win for the art space in the end. @ThisIsArtBytes

Every choice leaves something behind. Some things become scars, some become lessons, and some bloom into something we never imagined. Maybe life was never an accident. Maybe we’ve been planting a garden all along. 🌹👁️ Bloom -> Bloomians 🌸

Loving how Bloomians are turning out... so happy Listening to Ian Asher latest drop while creating and building Bloomians. 🎶

Oh... I'm late to shoutout to @RebeccaRose for picking up an edition of MoDA Poster #007 - the one with an imagining of mini Jean-Michel. Thanks so much!

This Sunday I just want to drop a little gratitude for all you amazing folks creating art and helping push the envelope for creators. I know the bear market has been a strain on the majority of us but gosh darn it the future looks bright.

4:28am Still working on Bloomians and listening to Hans Zimmer's Playlist 🌸

God whispers while the world screams. Today I was hit with a bunch of negative thoughts. “I hate my job” “everything is fucked”. I then thought about how ten years ago if you told my that I work for the company I do with the position I have, I would say I made it! Shortly after my wife sent me this pic. I married my dream girl, had my dream son and have my dream job that allows me to buy monkey and skull pics on the internet and hangout with you kooks. I’m blessed! 🤣🙏🫡

Sometimes we get so caught up in what’s wrong that we forget to look at how far God has brought us. ❤️ A beautiful reminder to pause, appreciate the blessings we prayed for, and be grateful for the life we’re living. Much love, fam 🌸 Love all my Bloomian families ❤️👑
