HB Chrome is the project I wanted to take from start to finish. At the beginning, I thought it would be easier to deliver this collection, but I didn’t realize how much effort it takes to build a consistent one. I was even aiming to launch it in December 2025, the same month submissions started. Since then, it took 6 months to complete (submission → curation → editing → finalization). Editing was the hardest part, every piece carried its own vision of how it should look in the end. It was both pleasure and pain, of course: sometimes lack of inspiration, sometimes bursts of energy. I guess that’s what the artist’s life is about. But I still managed to bring it all together. Of course, things must evolve and transform into something new, more unique, more creative, and built with more skill, not just images. To continue something that once represented an OG idea and carried a certain identity, you really have to put your skill on the table. I always kept in mind that people had been waiting for this collection for a long time, and I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. And I want to thank everyone for their patience, especially @catra.eth, who always said: “take your time with this.” Thank you ! - During these days at /farcon-rome (Tuesday), while enthusiasts from all over Farcaster are gathering together, I aim to deliver HB Chrome, with @catra.eth representing the /higher community there. Whether this project is a success or not, I don’t know. But what I do know is that every piece was made by contributors and me, and that ideas can become reality. This is my contribution to the /higher community. Once it goes live, it will stay onchain forever, and that makes me happy. I’ll keep checking on this project over the years, and I’ll always remember onchain life. “AIM HIGHER” will always stay with me, and /higher will always feel like home here.

i've been in /higher since it was just nine months old. i joined it completely by accident, while searching for my own path in music, i stumbled into the Higher FM group. i hoped i will dig my music path along Higher FM, but it opened another side of me. the visual one. along the way, i met creative people, i listened to their podcasts, and followed their art, and their vision made me understand what is /higher about. and it resonated with me. when HB first appeared through @blankspace, it felt like a fun, catchy, easy-mode experiment. it was authentic, stupid, funny, it was true OG. at that time i was a watcher. first time when i touched hb world, was when @catra.eth invited me to hb2: athletics back in June, when submissions were open yer. i tried to stay in the hb "vibe" zone, with those pieces. later I returned with more pieces for HB3: Pulse. i expected to contribute even more there, especially because music is a big part of my inner world, but things unfolded as they did. then, in October, hb Obscura went live, and that’s when I became truly inspired (inspired means experimenting, even if the fail is behind the door). i tried to recreate a story inside every piece. to really penetrate the collection's world. at that moment it stopped being just a funny animal with a background, it became quality, art, work, details. as hb obscura, came to completion, I started thinking about a collection that would represent higher itself and why i am here. and lately, HB has really sparked my imagination. more details about hb4 coming Tuesday.
