“I made something that I wanted to make and then people wanted it. That was always important to me because, when I was doing the Warhol stuff, I wondered, ‘Am I making something that I want to make, or because people want to buy?’ Now, I’m in the phase where I can make what I want to make.” — Ryan Wilson

#Studio - Always a dope time when I visit my dog @thankyoux. New ideas and progress is always the name of the game. He’s one of the few with ideas that challenge conventional ways of exhibiting fine art and I can always appreciate that. The new work that he’s producing is a beautiful reference to the materials of one of arts greatest sculptors. Can’t wait to see in action! • #ArtAboveReality #LookWhatArtFound #Curator #ContemporaryArt #FineArt #ArtMarket #ContemporaryPainting #CollectArt #ContemporaryArtCollectors #LiveWithArt #ArtConsultant #ShotOniPhone #PartsOfPaintings #ContemporaryArtist #ThankYouX #ArtistsOnInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLG_usn95k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ameekgjnnszz

I won't cry

No, I won't

You were a muse,

the muse that got me through

Subsided the pain,

subsided my tendencies

Shared your tragedies,

to sooth mines and the rest

Accepted your wrongs,

every single one of them

Did your best to redeem yourself,

everyday of your life since

Only to be paid with a gunshot when you're out doing something right

Now you're gone,

millions in shock and blue

How do the masses fill this empty space without you?

We'll accept your departure,

eventually we will

But your genius, your legacy,

will forever remain, it will

Jahseh Onfrey,

more than an inspiration to us all,

guided us so that we never fall

I won't cry,

No, I won't

That's not what you would have wanted anyway

The changes you wanted to see in this world,

we'll strive our best to see to them

And today,

when everyone else is playing, "Jocelyn Flores" and "a remedy for a broken heart",

I'll scream out, "Look At Me!!" and "A Ghetto Christmas Carol",

you wouldn't want us to wail in your unjust demise

I'll drown in that positive energy,

you helped build for us all

Thank You Jahseh,

Thank You for what you've done for us all~

probably p, probably not

Javier Masterlist

»»————-　♡　————-««

You knocked on Connie and Steve’s door, hesitating for just a moment before opening once you heard her call to you. As soon as you walked into the Murphy’s place, you were overwhelmed with the smell of her delicious cooking. You grinned as you walked in, following the smell of the percolating coffee. 

“Good morning,” you grinned at Steve who was setting the table. He looked up and smiled, offering you a small wave. You were just about in the kitchen when you felt a pair of arms wrap tightly around your waist before you were held against a strong chest. His smell immediately overwhelmed your senses as he pressed a few kisses to your bare shoulder; you’d purposely worn a sundress, one you knew he loved just to tease him a little...and for one other very specific purpose - but he wasn’t privy to that just yet, “good morning, Javier.”

“Good morning to you, Dulzura,” he whispered in your ear before pressing a kiss to your cheek, “you had to wear that little dress, didn’t you? You drive me crazy sometimes.”

“Hmmm,” you mused as you hastily pulled out of his grasp before turning to face him and pressing a kiss to his lips, “maybe I like to mess with you...maybe I just really like this dress.”

“You are…” his hands his found purchase on your hips as he gave them a gentle squeeze, kissing along your jaw before stopping at the shell of your ear, his warm breath tickling you, “an absolute little -”

“Hi babe!” Connie beamed when she stuck her head out from the kitchen, her smile stretching from ear to ear, “so glad you made it! Do you mind giving me a hand real quick with finishing up? Javi - let the poor thing breath for a moment.”

Javi sighed dramatically before hanging his head; but you didn’t let him down that easily, instead putting a few fingers under his chin and turning his face up so you could kiss him properly. He instantly lit up at your touch, those soft brown eyes crinkling in the corners as his dimple made its appearance, “te amo, Javier. Now go and help Steve or something. I’m all yours after brunch anyway.”

“Fine,” he pouted as you pushed him in Steve’s direction. You watched him go with a laugh before joining Connie in the kitchen. She just smirked at you, handing you a bowl of fresh fruit to cut up.

The two of you fell into easy conversation, and you thoroughly enjoyed her company. But as you kept chopping away at the fruit, your stomach started to churn more and more with each slice of your knife. When you were halfway through cutting up the mango, you couldn’t handle it anymore and practically threw down the knife as you dashed towards the bathroom. You almost kicked the door open as you got onto your knees and heaved up the contents of your stomach. 

Shit. Shit. Shit. You sighed at yourself when you were all done, wiping at the corners of your mouth. You’d thought you’d gotten over this part by now, hoping that it wouldn’t rear its ugly head again - especially not in front of your friends and boyfriend. No - the morning sickness should have been done by now.  

“Dulzura?” Javier stepped into the small bathroom and shut the door behind him, immediately dropping to his knees next to you. Flushing the toilet, you turned to him and put on the most innocent face you could. He grabbed your face gently in his hands, brushing a thumb over your cheek as he studied you intently, “what happened? Is everything okay?”

“Everything’s fine, Javi,” you promised him softly as you put your hands on his wrists and gave them a gentle squeeze. Although you were sure that the average person would have easily believed your little lie, Javier was no average man and he was able to easily see through your white lie. You sighed heavily before pulling his hands from your face and moving to stand up, “please don’t worry about me, it’s probably something I ate.”

“I do worry,” he insisted, just as firmly, as you turned on the tap and stuck your head under it to swish your mouth with water, “it’s my job-”

“Your job is to be my boyfriend,” you spit out the cold water, “and to trust me when I say everything is fine. One little upset stomach is nothing to worry about, Javier Peña. You have enough to worry about, don’t worry about this one too.”

“Fine,” he held up his hands in defeat, but you could tell that he wasn’t going to let this one go; for now probably, but forever, “but-"

"If it happens again, you'll be the first to know mi amor," you promised him, "now go and finish up with Steve and I'll finish the fruit."

Javier gave your hand a squeeze before slowly making his way out of the bathroom, with you quickly following on his kneel. Before he walked back over to Steve while you rejoined Connie in the kitchen.

She'd taken it upon herself to finish cutting up the fruit, but a knowing little look was on her face. You walked back over without saying a word, fully intending on not mentioning a word, but just like Javier, Connie was sharp and perceptive and wouldn't let it go. You'd surrounded yourself with a particular type of person and right now you were regretting intensely.

"Does he know about the baby?" she whispered under her breath as you stilled in your motions. Your breath hitched in your throat as you slowly met her eyes, wanting to cry at the little smirk on her face.

"I-I-I…don't know what you're talking about," you lied lamely, more so wondering if she would go along with what you were saying or call your bluff.

"Honey," she gave you an almost pitying look, "you just had a bout of morning sickness and you're starting to show. I've seen the old dress trick tons of times."

"How did you know that's what it was?" you asked in a rushed whisper. She was a nurse...of course she'd know.

"Randomly throwing up at the smell of food? And it's not the first time - it's happened not infrequently over the past two months," she stated as you groaned, "just because those two are oblivious, doesn't mean I am."

"Fine," you hissed quietly, making sure that Javier and Steve weren't paying attention, "how can you tell I'm showing?! I thought it wasn't...obvious yet."

"Not to the untrained eye," she admitted, "I'm guessing you just started to pop? You've been wearing looser clothes lately… I'm guessing...16 weeks?"

"14 weeks...shit Con," you sighed softly, "I...I've been too obvious! I haven't...I haven't told Javier! I haven't found the right time and I've been so nervous and I-I-I...just I'm scared, Con. What if…"

"No what ifs, honey," she said softly as she put her arm around and pulled you into a hug, "you need to tell Javier. He deserves to know...and I know you're scared, but you know how much he loves you and this won't change anything. You've turned Javier into the best version of him - he adores you. But you have to tell him...besides you're not going to be able to hide it much longer…"

"Fuck!" you whined softly.

"Just tell him," she stated firmly, "you have to tell Javier."

"Tell me what?" Javier and his impeccable timing struck again as he walked into the kitchen and grinned at the two of you. You exchanged a nervous look with her before turning back to him.

"How much I love you," you swallowed nervously before grinning at him with the best smile you could muster up, "which is a lot whole, mi amor."

He opened his mouth to say something, but you cut him off with a kiss. Javier made a small sound but said nothing, instead giving you another kiss. 

»»————-　♡　————-««

"What's wrong, Dulzura?" Javier asked as he pulled you into his lap; you had stiffened immediately upon his touch. As soon as you'd gotten back to his apartment, he was all over you, his touch was like fire and he was all consuming. It had been easy to get lost in his touch, the feel of his lips on yours,  his large hands roaming your body. 

But as soon as he had led you back to his bedroom and he flopped down on the bed and pulled you into him - sheer panic set in.

"N-nothing," you lied as you stood up and took a step back. A look of confusion crossed his features as you tried to keep it together, "just tired…"

"Okay," he sighed softly before running a hand over his face, "what the hell is going on? You've been acting off all day…"

"Nothing…"

"Dulzura."

"Javier, you're worrying over nothing again."

"You won't even let me touch you," he sighed lightly, "if you don't want me to let me know. We don't have to do anything…"

"I do, Javier...I'm just tired."

"Bullshit…"

"Javi…"

"You can tell me anything, Dulzura. I love you, you know that."

"I-"

"Anything at all."

"I-"

"Nothing will ever change that I love you."

"I'm pregnant."

It came out as an almost shout as you finally plucked up the courage to just say it. Javier's jaw dropped as he immediately looked at your stomach and then back at your face. A million different emotions flickered over his features as he tried to figure out what was happening. 

Oh, he'd heard you - he just couldn't come to terms with it.

"What?" he said softly as he met your eyes. His eyes were glossy as he tried to figure out if it was true, "Dulzura...what did you say?"

"I...I...I'm pregnant," you whispered softly, your own eyes starting to prick and burn. Slowly, you reached for the hem of your dress, pulling it up as gently as you watched his reaction. He sucked in his breath as he watched your stomach become revealed to him. It was small, still barely evident, but it was there - the sweetest of bumps, "I...I should have told you sooner, Javier. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"

"Why are you sorry?" his eyes were practically twinkling as his lips trembled slightly. He stood up and came over, a hand gingerly going to your stomach as he paused to see if you would stop. But you didn't - you let him put his hand on your belly before putting your own on top of his, "our baby...how far…"

"14 weeks," you said nervously as he nodded, trying to keep it together and not completely lose his mind, "I found out about 6 weeks ago and I-I-I panicked so much and I kept trying to figure out the perfect time to tell you and I keep not. I'm so sorry for that, Javier. You deserved to know sooner...and I completely understand if you don't want...anything to do with me or the baby."

"Why would you think I wouldn't want anything to do with…" he paused as he looked up and met your eyes, his free hand moving to your cheek, as you keened in to his touch, "did you think I was going to be mad...leave?"

"No," you admitted honestly, "I just didn't know what you'd...think. I'm scared and nervous and I didn't know what to do, and I just kept not telling you. And we didn't plan for a baby, I mean...its a mess."

"I love you," he whispered before kissing your forehead, "and - fuck - a few years ago I didn't think I'd ever love someone again or be in this situation. And now...I'm scared, don't get me wrong, absolutely terrified. But I am...I'm excited. This is...you...I love you."

"I'm scared too," your lips trembled, but in a quick measure of reassurance, he pressed a kiss to your lips in a sweet, gentle manner, "its a baby, Javier. What if-"

"Dulzura," he whispered softly, "I know there are a ton of things to think about - but I promise you this - it will be okay, we will be okay. I'm not going anywhere and I will protect you and the baby, and fuck - I'm happy. Scared but happy."

"Yeah?" you asked softly, not hesitating to throw your arms around his neck and holding him tightly, "I love you, Javier. More than you will ever know."

"I love you too," he kissed the crown of your head as he gently rubbed your back in soothing circles. He held you silently for some time, letting you get your soft cries, these ones not of worry or sadness but nervous happiness out, "can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"How did I never...notice? What if I hadn't found out and you'd gotten bigger?" he chuckled warmly as you snorted with laughter.

"Well, I've been keeping the lights off," you reminded him and he made a sound of 'oh yeah', "and this little bit just seemed to pop out the last few days...I don't know...I guess I would have blamed...bloating?"

"You are too much," he laughed as you gave him a sheepish look, "do me a favor?"

"Of course."

"Next time, just tell me as soon as you know," he insisted gently, "I...I want this - to be a part of this - and to experience it all with you."

"Next time?" you quirked an eyebrow gently, "you presume there's a next time?"

"Maybe…" he grinned with a cheeky smirk, "but seriously, Dulzura - I'm happy, scared, but happy. And I love you, always."

"I love you too," you promised, "con todo."

"I know," he whispered, "now - will you let me show you how much?"

"Javier…"

Gmoney’s Luxury Fashion Brand 9dcc Unveils Concept Of Their Lookbook Mint For Release Of ITERATION-01

gmoney’s crypto-native luxury lifestyle brand and platform, 9dcc opened its first-ever mint today August 23, 2022 at 9am EDT creating a moment that will have a powerful influence on how the fashion world “networks itself” into Web3 technology, community and culture. Using Web3 to revolutionize the retail vertical, the very traditional fashion lookbook will be reinvented by 9dcc as a collection of looks NFTs, granting holders access to the mint of the house’s debut collection. ITERATION-01, 9dcc’s first release - a state-of-the-art, chip-embedded T-shirt carefully crafted by gmoney and his team, some of the world’s most forward-thinking designers and digital architects. Securing one of the 1,111 looks NFTs created from the imagery of the lookbook below will allow exclusive access to Admit One members - the community-based platform to network themselves into the gmoney and 9dcc network by “tapping in'' and connecting.

Once upon a black T-shirt…

Photographed by Justin Aversano and styled by Office Magazine’s Fashion Director Simon Rasmussen, the 9dcc ITERATION-01 looks NFTs will function as a virtual ticket to enter the mint of the t-shirt. The online shopping experience, which will feel similar to ecommerce rather than minting will allow users to peruse, shop, and ultimately purchase 9dcc products. The looks NFTs, feature the shirts modeled by six members of the Admit One community including the coveted artist known as ThankYouX; fashion model & artist of ‘ChAOS & COUTURE’ Dana Taylor; Web3 Gamer, CEO of Loot Bolt, Brycent; the photographer and filmmaker behind the first NFT funded feature film ‘Keepers of the Inn’ Julie Pacino; co-founder of Web 3 game studio Ex Populus Soby; and artist, SISU steward focused on ecological conservation and resilience Angela Del Sol. 

The initial mint is token-gated for gmoney’s Admit One NFT holders, with access to one mint per token holder in the first 48 hours then members can mint up to 10 more per transaction in the following 24-hour window. During minting, members will be able to check out using a crypto wallet, which they can connect and pay with ETH to receive their ITERATION-01 looks NFT. 

Each size (extra small through double extra large) will be represented by an image from the lookbook, this image is an NFT and serves two purposes: One physical and one digital. Customers need to determine what "size" attribute (1 of 6) they want to purchase. This will be the size of their physical garment that they will be able to claim. The brand is excited and views the gamification of the looks NFT mint as a social experiment. The Admit One community will have the option to purchase their best fitting sizes, the size they believe will be in most demand on secondaries, or the NFT that features photography that most resonates with them.

This first NFT is a step towards the possession of a “Network Product™” – a trademarked term coined by gmoney to define this exclusive opportunity to connect to like-minded web3 loyalists through a luxury clothing item – was created in partnership with IYK (@__iyk), using chip technology that allows NFT holders to physically connect with 9dcc, gmoney, and the rest of the community, while also accessing 9dcc exclusives and utility ahead of the curve. 

Purchasers will choose between two options for their ITERATION-01 redemption, either receiving the physical product via delivery, or choosing to leave the physical T-shirt vaulted through our partners at 4K (@4KProtocol). All 1,111 products will be vaulted and claimable approximately 45 days after the looks NFT mint, when a second NFT representative of the vaulted physical product will be created and airdropped to owners’ wallets if they hold a looks NFT. By tapping into the 4K ecosystem, IT-01 can be vaulted, traded, or redeemed adding another layer of gamification. This revolutionary retail method will heighten demand through scarcity and exclusivity, elevating luxury fashion to a new level of value that translates from the digital to the physical and vice versa. 

In continuation of the reinvention of the traditional lookbook throughout this process, the ITERATION-01 looks NFTs will continue to live on as coveted pieces, lens by Justin Aversano - who’s project ‘Twin Flame’ remains one of the Web3 world’s most coveted photograph collections. The looks NFTs are expected to retain and build their own value as genesis collectible assets in the 9dcc brand’s heritage  long after it’s used in the size minting process. 

The concept for 9dcc and IT-01 came from gmoney’s observations on his intimate crypto community, and the many Admit One members desire to signal they are crypto native IRL and connect in person just as much as they want to connect digitally.
