The messaging of your project is so important and I’m sure connects on such a deep level with a lot of your holders. Why was it important to say something about mental health with your project?
My mission essentially is just to focus on art as much as possible. But I myself dealt with a lot of mental health problems and have been on and off medicine for it. My friend that I met up with at the party in SF when I sold out, owns a project called Twisted Tweaks and they are really close with TWLOHA, which stands for To Write Love On Her Arms. It’s a nonprofit based around one of her friends that’s in a facility right now getting a lot of help. And they just they have a lot of proof that they’ve done a lot with the resources that get donated. So I saw that they do the giving block and you can pay in ETH, and that’s the easiest way for me to be able to do something like that. And I’ve donated profits from Brain Vomit’s Garden to a few other charities as well. One to plant trees, one to help house the homeless. I’ve probably donated upward of 12 ETH in total. I just didn’t have money before this. I was struggling in many ways, financially, mentally, all that. And I don’t know what else to do with this money. I haven’t even bought a car yet, and I need to buy a car.

Creating this whole collection with all of these different uplifting messages probably brought you a good amount of peace, and I’m assuming that you’re getting a lot of messages on social or on your Discord with what these messages mean to other people. How does it feel to connect with so many new people through this art?
It’s every artist’s dream, right? Even when you’re scared to show your art, you still wish that people will like it. So once my art was finally out there at a mass scale like that, it was everything I’ve ever dreamed of. I mean, before this, a handful of people locally knew what I was doing. Some people are buying through Instagram and supporting me, but they don’t know me in real life. And in real life, everyone’s looking at me like I’m crazy with all my weird sayings and making people actually feel something because they have to read a statement on a piece of art. I’m just sharing, you know? And it’s amazing that people actually appreciate it. It’s crazy to see people that are diehard for the Garden because whether it’s the art or the community that changed their lives, there are a lot of people that are in the Discord every day saying this is what helps them because everyone in there is just so positive. And we just like to bullshit and have fun and just hang out and be there for one another. And if someone’s struggling, whether it be through a breakup or literally anything, we’re all there for one another. It’s kind of a trip. I’ve never been in a Discord before that hasn’t caused me massive anxiety. Until my Discord. It’s kind of a blessing.
