We thought we were just going to @artbasel.bsky.social (@artbaselmiami.bsky.social) when we came to Miami in Oct.

Learned it’s actually part of #miamiartweek & that there‘s A LOT more happening so we hit a few events throughout the week.

@indigoauraverse.bsky.social BLiXd our fits for night 1.

Meet 1/3 of our unit, Zen. He helped cultivate our love & we’re eternally grateful for him. He teaches us so much.

The #dateday that @indigoauraverse.bsky.social inspired @dragonspitchfork.bsky.social to get back into beat making while she got back into upcycling.

The #instrumental is from a song named “So Merlot” Shaah produced for a #mentalhealth x #HipHop project.

All about nature, creation, expression & fun.

And this is the end of a video shot at my old house before we renovated and in the nearby woods.

It was my wife, founder of @hfrconnect.bsky.social, in a black body suit. I used AI to help bring her story home & a song I was featured on named “Changes” by Dimo ft also ft @albakwurdz.bsky.social

And this one is an @insta360 x4 test I was doing using another @gryskll.bsky.social song named “We the eviL”, which would have been on our cancelled #Project2025.

The song is streaming everywhere now with the other songs from the project ( #TuckFrump , #VEEP & #AmericaInCursive).

More samples of my art

I made this beat & thought it was 🗑️ but one of the other @gryskll.bsky.social members made a demo the crew loves.

We’re #marvel fans & Kareem (aka Zo the Instrument Being) is a monster on the mic so I named it “GRYHLK”.

🎥 from a recent @hfrconnect.bsky.social date day.

Taken while en route to Artscape.

This will be the cover art for a song I produced & rhymes on for @gryskll.bsky.social named “CastleMania”

Back to bed with the most beautiful being I’ve been blessed to connect with…

Taken at Union Market in Washington DC

Maybe I should also share some samples of my art.

Starting with photography:

“Icelandic Shift” is 1 of 2 photos selected to be shown in my first gallery experience (earlier this year).

Never considered submitting photos before but my wife, founder of @hfrconnect.bsky.social, encouraged me.

Thank you!

Show my wife & that night she did this 🥰

A 20 year old #asr10 beat that excites me about getting started on this #mpckey37 now that I’ve set up the room & software.

Filmed at South of the Border using an #insta360x4 for a #microdocumentary I’m considering.

A few of my favorite pieces from this year

Exploring my style on clothing and shoes really shifted me into a whole new space this year. I’m so thankful for the growth and excited for more play in this arena.

… and I’m itching to splash up some more walls 😋

Left the #DMV to chase dreams.

We over photography just before pandemic.

We were both in pretty rough stages of our lives.

We fell in love & helped each other learn to love ourselves.

This year has been especially transformative for us and individuals & as a couple.

Time to travel. 🥰

Cut eggs back out of our diet so I guess we’re vegan again 🥰😁
