    What an incredible feat this is! It’s pretty emotional for me to have made a contribution to this. To see one of my favorite artists and role models enter the permanent collection at such a prestigious museum is a huge honor. It has been a pleasure getting to know @tylerxhobbs

    I’m incredibly grateful that Careless and Well-Intentioned #4 has entered the permanent collection at @SFMOMA. A heartfelt thanks to @stephensantoro_ of @VertuFineArt and an anonymous party who helped make this acquisition possible*. Your support means a lot to me & I am lucky

    i can't collect things just to "support". if I did this my voice would become saturated, my collection would not represent my beliefs, and i would ultimately just be bullshitting artists to believe that i actually like the work. maybe this is a flaw in my practice in the world

    If you've sold over a few hundred NFTs in your short career you should be damn proud.

    A lot of people won’t understand me. A lot of people won’t include me on their lists. A lot of people won’t recognize the work I put in. None of it matters because I love what I do and I’m certain that I’ve made an impact amongst a small group of people. You can’t convince
