I have a long history with @opensea. It was where I first listed my art for sale. It is where I made my first sale. I came into NFTs with no curator platform interest (many email attempts), so I went to the open platform to share my work like many of us did. My whole story is there. You can see most of the movement happen on decentralized rails, held in the history tab on OpenSea. Fast forward 4 years. OpenSea is presenting Birds in Marfa. I have so much gratitude for this opportunity. We give platforms a lot of shit. I have empathy, having worked at a few. Wen airdrop? Why USDC? We bash them on the timeline and sometimes forget that behind every platform is a group of people. OpenSea has one in particular who made Birds happen. @adamilenich He fell in love with Birds via @RogerDickerman and wanted to show them. I think they had different expectations for what I would do, but they gave me grace to run and bring in patrons so we could run fast enough that we all just might fly. It was Adam’s fire that relit the fire in me. Birds Marfa would not have come to be without him. Adam, thank you so much for finding something in Birds. And bringing the best out of me.
