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.
