So much of my time here I have spend dreaming. Dreaming for the day that has now arrived. For years I spend my days grinding to fulfill a promise made by a 25 year old right after having the biggest night of his life. Midnight夏季Breeze sold out in 30 minutes. And for someone who had less then 5000$ in the bank, suddenly making 1.5 million dollars was kind of insane. Euphoric I said "v2 will come for those who hold a breeze" Little did I know how much that single promise would affect my life. I have spend majority of my late 20s painting this world. And been very critical of what this space is about. I wanted to be a voice you could rely on. Someone that shows up, is approachable, but also be the change I'd want to see. Everyday looked the same for me, make coffee, walk dog, turn on pc, paint until dinner, walk the dog again. I sometimes quite literally went insane. The pressure was high. I had to make this project real. And there was always so much to do. Art direct, animate, color grade , composite, 3d , sound effects , music, development, management like countless hats to wear all the time. The Vision however, called me. There was no way I was gonna give up, or quit. Though every vibre in me wanted to. My health , my personal life, they demanded it. But I did not stop. And that persistence has let to today. It has let to an industry that doesn't care. A timeline that can only talk about something if its $ related. And a world that is more chaotic then ever before. And amidst it all, I fulfilled my promise. Fragments of the Lonely Road is here. And I do not think you will ever understand what it means. But, I do know, that this art. This project. This vision. It has been worth it. So now, if you made it all the way down here. I want you to rally. I want you to make noise. I want you to share with the world what this is about. I want you to be the storm that says, "shit can be different". And I will be the wave, and show, why that's the case. GM. STAY BREEZY AND... (you say it in the comments!)

THE LIST 12 names written down. 88 left unwritten. This list is not stagnant. It's alive. Shaped by those who show up. So I ask you: Why does the breeze matter to you? How will you contribute? Quote this tweet with your vision. And your name may appear on the paper.📨

So, auction ended. Settled at 0.096. I came in with high expectations. Seeing the response of this space was overwhelming. It gave me hope. Only 200 sold. The way I went about this, I reckon it was too complicated. Too much trying to recreate 2021 energy. A standard mint would have sufficed. You see for the past years I dedicated every waking moment to my art. To the promise I made in 2021. A sort of compulsion. On top of that, I've spent almost every dollar I made into this. Wanting to achieve the very best. The final version of this art. The way it always was meant to be. And I do not regret this one bit. But, it does mean right now, is not easy. Because here's the thing. I know the art is good. In fact. I know many many people care deeply about it. But it's not seen. Not enough. So I am not giving up. I am keeping the mint open. Fragments at 0.096eth. We still Breeze

It is launch day. And it is my birthday 🫶 SURREAL. But.. I am ready to make a statement. Everything I stand for is put into this world I've created. Everything I have said, I am living up to. The STRenght of Breeze, lies in the people that support it. While much of this space is all talk. This is all doing. Let it be known, we can build. We can deliver. We can innovate. so. Today. we say. F IT. WE BREEZE. Link in bio. 5 hours left.

A monumental moment for me. Midnight Breeze: Fragments of the Lonely Road Mints October 16th I know, there’ve been a lot of announcements lately. But this one? This one fucking scared me. Announcing a mint means you’re all in. No more waiting. No more hiding. This is the jump. For nearly 4 years, I’ve been building this. Painting, tweaking, refining, losing my mind some days, chasing a vision most people wouldn’t even see. And now it’s real. This isn’t just another NFT drop. It’s the most complex generative animated collection this space has ever seen. Every frame hand painted. Every sound designed. A window into a world that’s been living in my head for years. And now it’s yours too. If you’ve burned? You know what to do. If you’ve watched from afar? Now’s your moment. So like it. RT it. Bookmark it. Shout it from the rooftops or whisper it to your favorite degen chat. But whatever you do, don’t miss it. Because this is the one. The one I’ve bled for. The one I’m proud as fuck of. Let’s make the timeline feel it. -Dutchtide 🍃

It sucks to see my art sell for peanuts. Because in a way "my worth" is literally tied to these prices. Like my art is sold on the stock market, next to all these rugs all the bullshit and yet it's sold for pennies on the dollar. Why? I could have done things differently. Obviously my timing was off with the release. Though in hindsight I'm grateful it's out there. I know a large group of you supported me, believed in me, and saw the vision. The vision we have been dreaming off since 2021. The kind of vision that makes normies ask "how do I get this". The vision that only makes sense on the chain. But here we are. A FP going down. And beyond it sucking for my ego. I know it sucks really hard for those who believed in me You supported me. Big time. And yet here we are. Its even more frustrating seeing the things that are happening and going wel. My art being shown at artbasil with NOLCHA and nftmiami with SuperchiefGalleryNFT . An interview with OpenSea Dreams. Big dreams being fulfilled. Some of you found yourself in my art. You will hold forever. Because its you in there. Some of you want to play the collector game. Find how deep it goes. And others , the speculators, sell my art because there's no upside. But who did you sell it to? Ever wondered this? Why can you sell in the first place? There's a group of people, who love it. And they love it so much they'll buy it when they can. Regardless of price. So what's my job? I need to grow this group. And this is where we one up the degens. Because the art is good. The collection is good. Its undeniable. And so its a matter of time. And perseverance. And I happen to have both. Stay breezy. Stay bullish

Midnight夏季Breeze Fragments of the Lonely Road Everything has led to this. TOMORROW we awaken. This trailer… is one of the proudest things I’ve ever created. Built over 3 months with a small team of 3 animators, we set out to capture the soul of the Lonely Road, and I truly think we did. Every scene is rooted in your Fragments. Inspired by the traits you hold, the interpretations you made. There’s meaning behind each shot, if you know Breeze, you’ll feel it. Honestly? It’s a miracle this trailer even exists. Years of worldbuilding, painting, animating ,all coming together. And tomorrow, the journey continues. This is the most ambitious generative art experience I’ve ever attempted. Nothing else I’ve worked on comes close. And I’m nervous, but proud. If you’ve made it this far: SHARE THIS POST. It means the world. And tell me what you think when it drops. - Dutchtide

And so a day later i feel its time for an evening reflection. Ive sold about 480 pieces. And honestly i am very grateful. Each of the people who minted one shows they believe in this space beyond its current status. In any case. This is a massive artistic success. I managed to sell for nearly 50 eth worth of art. Be supported by people who showed up. Its honestly unbelievable. I know last nigt i sounded differently. But, keep in mind that i spend the last 4 years aka every single day, grinding away at the results. I spend all my money, and i mean, the cost of this year exceeds what ive currently made. And thats 2025. All my time. I was working while my step father got a stroke. Had to move out of my childhood home,I was working while my grandmother died. My grandfather died. I was working the days right before my beloved Dottje passed away. I didnt do anything else but work. To the detriment of my relationships. And sometimes the frustration of those around me. But it was worth it to me. Because the vision i had. It is now here. Its out. Its alive. Its appreciated by you guys. And therefore Each one of you matters. You edged your own legacy in the stars But if we look at what the space values. What it cares about. I think it goes beyond what I have offered. To make it you need to play the game. This game is not an easy one. Its one of connections. Big money. Unbelievable promises And beyond that. A world I personally do not resonate with. This space glorifies a lifestyle that for me has very little to do with why i joined. It glorifies people that have very little do with why i joined. And its glorifying behaviour once again, very little to do why i joined. But honestly, i dont care. Because I joined because this space is the only place where art like mine has a place. The only place art like mine can evolve and rally a group of people. The only place you read this far into my ramble 😂💀 I hope my art can stand as a refuge in a storm that goes beyond the current truths of this space. And I think we are truly only at the beginning of a journey that we barely know has started. Keep it breezy. Gn

Bullish? Bearish? Today the public mint opened indefinitely. A deliberate choice after the mint of last week. Some of you suggested me to cut supply or lower price. But here is the thing. I went too hard on this art. To cut down the story , the world, its details in such a way. No. 655 breezes are minted by diehard members. What does this signal? That there is a group of people who care so much about the art. That the "market" sentiment means jack shit. So I make it my goal to bring as much energy and value to this world possible. Not through another generative world. But by adding to it. Lets look at Distant Summer Rain, The Tatami. The countless unique marketing materials made. We have something here that resonates. We have something that can pull people in from outside crypto. So.. We are at the bottom? Now its my turn to find a way up. And throw a rope to the down. Get everyone else up. This is how we win. This is how breeze becomes a household name. F IT. WE BREEZE. Also yeah i dropped this banger again. Sue me.

Mint Update The last few hours have been absolutely insane, and the biggest takeaway for me is this: I have the best group of people supporting me. There were some missteps in execution, a bit of market volatility, and maybe some over-the-top expectations, but this launch is in no way a failure, because failure only happens when you stop, and we have no plans of stopping the journey on this lonely road! Instead were going to bring focus back to the reason for this mint, the art, the experience and the chance to discover where this road has been going Here’s how the launch will continue: Travellers Mint Opens today at 22:00 CET and runs for 12 hours until 10:00 CET Oct 18th For any Travellers still waiting for their turn, and all the friend communities who made the effort to be part of this , thank you. Your support means everything. Dedicated Mint Opens at 11:00 CET running for 24 hours until 11:00 CET Oct 19th A discounted mint for the 100 most dedicated Breezers Ongoing Mint After these stages at 12:00 CET Oct 19th the mint will open indefinitely at a fixed price of 0.096 ETH At this point, the claim for burned Breeze will begin Trading will also open at this stage The Reveal will happen shortly after We’ll keep wandering the Lonely Road. Fragments will stay permanently open for any collector who wants to experience this world and its art in the most cutting edge animated format to ever grace NFT's And as for the months ahead… I’ve got at least one more activation cooking that I think many of you will really appreciate Stay breezy, Stay bullish
