Today I proudly secured two pieces (#2 Adrift and #3 Leap of Faith) from the talented artist @TheFallenSol 's debut collection series which will be made of 13 1/1s.
If not for the holoplex rug, I may have secured all three.
Why? 🧵 on an early look in my 1:1 journey

Before doing so, I am candidly not an expert and just started my acquisition of 1:1 art.
This 🧵may seem elementary for more sophisticated collectors. I'm sharing because I fully expect more people to start dipping their toes in this 1:1 NFT space.

The influence on my understanding of this space is shaped by many around me.
King boogle @softmoneyinc wrote an excellent thread of his journey just yesterday that gave me the extra push to participate in more 1:1 auctions this weekend.

A smart and insightful investor and collector that I found myself overlapping in taste with is my good friend and boogle @GlingGoong
This thread was insightful on his process of doing due diligence on 1:1 and what he values.

You are who you surround yourself with.
An undoubted influence on me by proximity of @earlyishadopter who works with @therupture and @RainneN23 who works @SolVoxelMonkes and @TheObserverNft.
Art channel in Boogle discord has opened my eyes to this new world and I enjoy it

There are many others that have shared their joy and passion in this space that I can't help but have absorbed and connected with over art including @0xCelon @gloom_sol @howl33333 @sibolero @Peanug420 and @ApeddaddyRick
So many people to learn from and share this passion with

My first 1:1 non boogle piece was from @0xlxxr and I'm grateful that I was able to secure it. It will hold a special place for me now. He's so talented.
I believe this start is what I will have guide my personal journey in collecting...

The art has to connect with me immediately and invoke an emotional response. I want to know more about the artist and the motivation.
Unlike most of my investing in NFTs, I have no way to value 1:1s, so I chose not to. I will bid as strong as the art speaks to me.

So this brings me back to why I attempted to buy all 3 pieces of @TheFallenSol's debut collection.
Drawn to the art but I read "These first three pieces will always hold a special place in my heart... They are my leap of faith."and it just hit Ape in me

Adrift - What it means to me:
Many of us have been in a place at a time without direction. I've had to find myself adrift a few times in life. Dark times but a light beyond. Eventually, we must all paddle forward through still waters.

Leap of Faith. As an entrepreneur, understand this deeply. It's also what connected me to @TheFallenSol take his leap. Depth here in the work blew me away.
Without knowing what comes in the next 10, this to me was the signature piece of his artistic journey. Grateful to own it.

My journey into 1:1s is going to be a personal journey of emotion, beauty and connection. Yours may be too.
What I've shared in my connection to the pieces are personal insights about myself. They "speak" to me about my past or present and capture that emotion in art.

Connected with @TheFallenSol after the auction and the "Leap of Faith" speaks even louder to me. Will be a proud collector and vocal supporter of his art and journey now
13 pieces in this collection of his 1/1s. Only 10 remaining. Under the radar now but won't be for long.

I would be remiss to leave out @A2KDeFi who's introduction to @exchgART also helped me better understand the growth in this space. Can't wait for their auction launch process. I may have owned all 3 pieces of @TheFallenSol then.
Wen @exchgART ... wen!
