2021 changed my life.
I want to reflect on it a bit and talk about all the work I was fortunate enough to create this past year in the #Cardano#NFT Community.
Thank you so much to everyone who was here for the ride! I am very excited for 2022!

"Portfolio Pieces" Collection
This was my first #CNFT collection, minted back on April 19th. There were 10 pieces total with 10 mints of each. 9 of each piece were given away through Twitter Giveaways and the 10th pieces were either given away or auctioned off later on.

109
My 109 collection was a gift to my first 109 followers on @2140withspaces. It was also a test run for the way I planned to release the [2140] series.
Each of the 109 pieces is a unique frame that when put together creates a complete animation.
There is so much I can say about this event and these two pieces. This was where I really fell in love with the #Cardano#NFT Community! I got to work with so many artists by helping to organize this community-wide event with @CardanoBits.
This collection was an event organized by the @boba_bits team as a way for us to give back to @isladiwa for everything she did for the discord communities back then.
This piece was a collaboration between @SmittyStudio and me.
This piece is one of the stickers on R.O.D.R.160. @artano__io just finished their minting service at this time and asked those of us on the council to test it. This piece is the 8th NFT minted on #Artano.

Scrap #00004
This was my submission to the @PlanetPalz Planet Palz Creative Contest [@PPCCHub]. This was a drawing I did of one of my Planet Palz. It did not win so I minted it as "Scrap #00004" and gave it to @athcanft, the artist behind @PlanetPalz.

"PPCC Wristband"
This was a commemorative NFT that was given out to everyone who participated in the @PPCCHub contest. This was a collaboration between @athcanft and I.

"Meet R.T.A."
This piece was one of the iNFTs in @artano__io's Opening Auction. This iNFT loops through 109 frames, one every 24 hours, rotating through Artano's logo, Cardano's logo, and my logo.
The second image is what he looks like today.

Physical Portfolios
These were created a year before I got into the NFT space. It's a collection of the work I did in college and for on the side. I got them printed to bring to job interviews but those were scare because of covid. I auctioned off the remaining 15.
109 were created in total and these will be the only NFTs of my logo I'll ever mint.

"Ducc Guardians"
These pieces were created for @StaleDev's stake pool [STALE]. He regularly teams up with artists to send out "Ducc" NFTs to the people delegated to the stake pool.
"Into This World" is the first collection in the "(2140)" series. This series is released as frames, like the "109" collection, and each Framed Set adds to the story following R.O.D.R.160.
These pieces were part of the second drop of the #ADABuddies project created by @AdaDolls. There's a little easter egg in this collection. There is a hole punch hidden in the rarest piece. Mike and I both used to check receipts at retail stores.
This was a collab for 4 unique, 1/1 "WTF Cards" for the @cryptiesnft collection. These were really fun to make since I got to use some of the skeleton assets I created for the #CollaBits piece.
This is a 300-page book I designed to showcase my NFT collection. It highlights most of the major projects in the community since it began and notes about each.
Out of all the projects in this thread, this is the one to look into.
For the "please include 3-5 works" section, just include a handful of your best work that you'd like to release on @artano__io. Don't go overboard here (use the "portfolio/ website/ social media" question for that).
This is usually the first section I look at.
