Happy Birthday
@MallardOrder
- we have grown such an epic family of individuals who truly define what the word "Community" stands for. 🦆✨🌿

Appreciate growing with this community so much.
(And yes your co-founders are birthday twins. 😭)
Lost my uncle to sui--de last night. 💔 The preservation of mental health especially amongst men is so important. Take care of your loved ones & when they're crying for help, maybe take them serious. If you're in need of help, seek it. The live footage is burned into my heart...
After much working through on the backend, we've officially re-launched for

I personally designed the

brand to build off of as we continuously evolve.
🥶💙 Extremely proud of the wicked Community we have built within The Order. Everyday we value the commitments made to TMO and cherish the opportunity to build and establish here alongside with you in the CNFT space.
Thank you. 🤝

- between designing this & the UX/UI for Raider's Guild, aside from merch & arranging our upcoming IRL events, I've had my ducky hands FULL. My favorite part of the process is getting to see everything come to life. 🦆
Over the last few months, I've been tapping into my IRL network getting this entire event established here in NYC to represent

I had an amazing time hosting "EMERGENCE", our 3-day premiere

event in New York City during

and getting to meet and spend time with the

!
After some much necessary R&R, I’ve finally had some time to reflect on how magical this last week was.✨
Tonight was beautiful & magical.
Thank you to everyone who came to FRIENDS & all involved in making it a dope couple days for NFTNYC.
Y’all are all legends ♥️
I’m finally able to kick back and douse myself in some tea and hang with my doggo.
Web2 x Web3 is a big wave 🌊🥹
Building everything from scratch and fudders keep calling us a slow rug. I want to see those same fudders call out every single meme/shitcoin and project they hold that’s down bad. Bag bias is real.. This isn’t my first rodeo anon
We’ve given away 100’s of 1000’s of ADA worth in giveaways, opportunities, etc back to our holders since we’ve started our project and not once had we remotely made that our claim to fame. It’s easy to tout and boast about things and pump sentiment but keeping our heads low while
Never forget those who’ve supported you the most during the Journey. It’s easy to lose track of our roots with success and new things. When reality hits, the path taken and all of its trials and tribulations should serve as a reminder that took one to get to where they are today.

A select few from the CNFT space have landed on my blocklist for their endless toxicity. I get frail ego’s and trying to be the big bad tough guy all the time because there’s nothing more some can contribute but that. I have 0 regrets & continue to go about my priorities. ♥️🥶🤷♀️
Still building & still putting new people onto what Mallard has done and is doing while I’ve been dedicating more time to building and making key connections IRL via my art. The Web2 people I’ve spoken to want in on the products were building while the Web3 folk are aged 5x,

I've been in sketch and design mode these last few months.
Perfectionism can sometimes be a blight, but ultimately necessary.
I believe in Quality > Quantity, but in the ultimate case both Quality AND Quantity in tandem is always THE goal.

The funny part about receiving messages like this is that I've worked as a designer for a handful of multi-million dollar corporate fashion luxury brands in men's, women's & streetwear. No schooling originally, 1000% Hustle. Alts gonna Alt.
