When I quit my job a few months ago, I had student loan debt I believed I would be paying off for the rest of my life.
Thanks to the NFT community I was able to pay them off completely today.

If you’re reading this, you are earlier to NFTs than 99% of the world.
That’s something to be proud of 🔥

Thank you all for everything, this has been the most incredible day off my life.

Quitting my stable job in animation to try making NFTs was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done.
It was two weeks before I minted the first Ghxst, and I had no backup plan.
Now I am a part of the best community I’ve ever met, and couldn’t be happier.
We’re GMI.

Because of NFTs, I was able to donate to my highschool's art department.
They're receiving Adobe licenses, funds for field trips, materials and tools for ceramics, and funding for artists in residence to work at the school!
*This is outside of the scholarship I am working on

Ghxsts just reached 10,000 followers, so I wanted to say a few words. (a thread)
Two months ago, I quit my stable job in the animation industry, to try going into NFTs full time.

Ghxsts just reached 50,000 followers, so I wanted to say a few words. (a thread)
6 months ago I quit my job in the animation industry.
At the time it seemed foolish to everyone I knew to leave a stable job in pursuit of becoming an NFT artist.

I quit my job six months ago to pursue a life creating NFTs.
At the time it was enormous risk, nobody knew who I was, I hadn’t even shown my paintings to anyone in years.
But this community was pulling me in, I knew I couldn’t just stand and watch from the sidelines.

A week before I quit my job to make my own NFT project, a coworker pulled me aside and said I was making a mistake.
They told me NFTs were already over, that the fad had already passed.
It was April 2021.

Ghxsts proves that everybody has an opportunity in NFTs.
I had no devs, no investors, no crypto experience
Just wanted to share my story.

I quit my job only weeks after learning what an NFT was, it was clear to me how big their impact on culture would be.
We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg.

There is room for everyone in NFTs, we are all starting off on an equal level because we are still truly in the Wild West days of this.

NFTs in 2021 to me are like websites in 1991.
We are barely catching a glimpse at the full potential.
Buckle up, the next few years are going to be an exciting ride.

Ghxsts is an example that anyone can make it in NFTs.
When I started I had no crypto experience, no investors, no dev team.
Just hand-drawn art and community.

Their exact words were “how can you expect to make it as an artist if you can’t draw like everyone else?”

Just so people understand how many pieces are in a 10,000 generative project…
It would be equal to me dropping 3 pieces a day for the next 9 years.

It’s just me doing art and my best friend running the discord!
We are really as grassroots as it gets 😂
