@Cmsr_Gordon

I am exhausted but I'm so proud of what I have achieved in 2 days.
There are a few mistakes I need to correct, my AE failed me again...
Thank you so much to everyone who took a part in this story 🖤
Time to sleep 🤣

Two days ago
@Scottythecoach
sent me a tweet and I stopped everything to do this.
Here is my submission for
@notjohnlestudio
‘s contest:
The First Edition: The Other Side.
Now, let me tell you the story of how this all came together. 👇
#IODA
It's with butterflies in my stomach I am sharing the final artwork.
'Light In The Darkest Places', inspired by one of my two favourite songs ever: Time by Hans Zimmer.
This has to be one of the hardest & scariest things I have done in my life, especially as I am new here.
'Solana Is My Home'
I’m so happy to share with you my first edition!
It is dropping on Wednesday 23rd at 7PM UTC and will be open for 4 hours.
In those uncertain times I wanted to celebrate our community. Read on to see all the Easter eggs and how it all came together 👇
Hi there!
It’s about time I introduce myself here. My name is Camille Halluin and I am a surreal digital artist. I create worlds and stories inspired by music to travel within your imagination. Here is my story 👇
It's hard to be vulnerable. Especially as I only opened my account here. I hesitated a long time before posting this here because it really scares me. But here I am.
This is ‘The Darkest Places’, which is part 1 of this week's artwork. It was inspired by Time by Hans Zimmer.
Gm!
Today is the day 🎉
'Solana is still my home ' drops at 6PM UTC on
@exchgART
🔗 in bio.
I know many of you ask about my process and I thought today I would share a glimpse into it!
This kind of video makes me very uncomfortable but I hope you'll enjoy it 🖤
Here it is finally!
I wanted to show you what this song truly means to me. It will always be my beacon of hope.
It made me emotional when I played it all together. I am proud of how far I have come. And yes, it's me playing on the piano. (arrangement by Patrick Pitschman) ☺️
Gm ☀️
After weeks of work, here is my new piece, finally!
"Solana is still my home"
A 14000x7875px full of Easter eggs and references to our community.
More details coming tomorrow!
In the meantime, let me take you on the journey that led to its creation, let's rewind! 👇
I was feeling stuck creatively and mentally today so I wanted to have fun and play a bit in Photoshop. I decided to bring my Grim to life (or was it even at any point?)
To be continued. (Oh hi
@Grim__Syndicate
)
Gm!
After a busy start of the week, I am finally getting to work on Solana is still my home.
Since my laptop is constantly crashing this is the only way I can show glimpses of my process 🤣
This morning I was working on a character you may know 👀
Have a good one ☀️
See the world through her mind. Lily’s adventures continue!
Here is finally what I’ve been working on for over a month now.
🌳Chapter 2: Down The Rabbit Hole
Artworks, animation and music by me. Dropping Thursday on
@exchgART
!
Stay tuned for the story reveal tomorrow ! 👀
Eyes are my biggest fear.
Opening up about my anxiety scares me.
I stop myself from doing a lot of things because I'm afraid. But I challenged myself to face all the above in 1 video.
This is my story.

I'm so incredibly grateful for everyone who enjoyed the chapter and your support. I cannot wait to continue the story and see you again for Chapter 3!
Thank you for going down with me into the rabbit hole 👀💙
Gm ☀️
Let me introduce you Camille 2.0, slightly cringy and very goofy aka the real me when I'm not shy.
I heard you and in the next few weeks, I'd like to invite you in my studio (which is my bedroom to be honest, calm down I see you) & step into my process!
Stay tuned 👀🫂
It's finally time. 🕛
On March 12th, I had a surreal experience listening to Poly by Daphni.
Today, it's your turn.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Let's travel within our imagination!
00:00, auction going live today at 10PM UTC on
@exchgART
It took me two weeks and a half to get the animation done. It's 1 minute long and there are over 400 layers animated.
Wondering how I made it? Here is a quick look at the behind the scenes. It's up for auction on
@exchgART

Part 2 below & link below 👇
I know 0.25SOL can be a lot.
Because I was shown love and support, I want to give some back. 🫂
As this is a celebration of our community, I'm giving away 2 more editions of SISMH!
Tell me why Solana is your home below and I will pick 2 random winners tomorrow at 4PM UTC! 👇
I am sorry I was intimated, shy and never reached out.
Instead, I've shown you today how I connect to your work.
From an artist to another, thank you John.
As I look back on 2022, one of the highlights was creating a rendition of
@notjohnlestudio
's The First Edition.
This is my favourite piece from his and I couldn’t help imagine movement, so I animated it!
I am leaving 2022 inspired and excited for 2023 & our future here!
After 1 ½ month of work, here is finally the 2nd piece of my series 'Finding Myself Again'
🌊'Out At Sea' will be up for auction on

Our adventure begins.
I am happy to introduce my new collection on

1/ Lily is a character I made up when I was a teenager and I first started daydreaming. She was my alter ego, everything I wish I was.
The Adventures of Lily The Freak

Lily was not ordinary, she was extraordinary. For her imagination was limitless. But her life was quite the contrary.

Here is how this piece came together 🦋👇
I'm speechless.

How it feels to be an introvert in web 3, a thread 🧵
In the past two weeks, I have done a lot:
- Finally managed to talk in spaces and discord calls
- DM and connected with many people all over the world
I wanted to share with you what it felt like so far:
I joined web 3 in March and obviously I was told to follow John straight away. I saw his work and was blown away.
But his interviews are what made it for me.
I resonated a lot with his story and saw parts of myself in it.
Gm! 🌊
It's Auction Day!
Time for me to be vulnerable. Although my pieces feel out of this world, they are deeply personal.
'Out At Sea' has a special meaning to me and today I'd like to walk down Memory Lane with you!
Please read on 👇
A very late gm! 📸
Today was a big day, it was my first time taking my camera out in Ireland.
I went around Dublin in the cold to capture places I have fallen in love with in my 5 years being here.
Have a nice one!
I am speechless and emotional, 104 editions sold. I'd have never expected this.
Thank you to everyone who supported the piece! 🫂
I am shattered rn but will get back to each of you tomorrow!
In the meantime, here's a banner. Like last year, editions or not, it's yours!

🚨The time has changed, it is now starting at 3PM UTC on
@exchgART
In this video below I explain the idea behind the Souls of Solana and how you can participate 👇
I am so nervous but I can't wait!
Gm, sorry I haven't been active. Just wanted to let you know I've got health issues that are draining my energy and I'm sorry I'm not able to be here right now. I don't know what it is yet, I'm waiting on a diagnosis. I'll be back when I'm feeling better, hopefully soon 💙
Gm
I am now off the day job for 3 weeks after 2 of intense overtime.
I needed some fun so I thought I'd do my own version of my
@wetikos
's GUIDE
I did warn you I'd bring them to life, like the witch that I am
It looks like it has seen some shit but it's friendly or is it?😈
Gm
I have waited to tweet this as I hate the situation I am in.
I have chest pain and I need to get my heart check. I'm only 27 and it scares me.
I have to prioritise my health and pause my work on Solana is My Home 2.
It's tough. I'm grateful I have people helping me 🖤
Gm!
I am currently in the final stages of my new animation, in the meantime, I have taken this one out of the closest!
This was my rendition of the First Edition by
@notjohnlestudio
during his contest last year.
Have a good one 🖤
Gm!
It's my turn for the balloons 😂
My brother gave me the best gift ever. After 12 years of trying, he has finally agreed to watch Inception with me and he gets it now!
This made me emotional 😭
Gm,
I hesitated to talk about it but I have been feeling really down lately. I try to be strong but I can't be all the time.
I'm doing what I can to go through it and feel better, watching The Office helps a bit.
Take care of yourself and thank you for being here, really💙
Gm,
I woke up this morning to 92 editions sold, I am blown away 🤯 thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🫂🖤
I know 0.25 can be a lot when you need to pay your bills.
So I am giving away 1 edition to the 1st person who finds this hidden SOL logo!
Zoom in and have fun! 🔎

Here’s the backstory 🧵👇
Time to face the shadows.
(This piece is better experienced with headphones on)
I am both excited and nervous to reveal ‘Into the Darkness Within’, the 1st audiovisual piece of my new series ‘Finding Myself Again’.
The video is followed by a journal entry, read on 👇
Gm gm,
I have been at my lowest mentally because I cannot find a place I can both afford and work in to move in.
But I've made progress on the artwork despite being sick, so far 60 hours in, it will all make sense soon.
Have a good one ☀️
A very late gm !
Took the day off to rest and treat myself after an intense week! This means coffee, reading and a trip to the cinema to see All of us strangers.
Have a nice weekend 🖤

Thank you
@ragsmatags
for picking up Blackbird for 10 SOL yesterday.
It's an honour to have my work in your collection and to call you one of my collectors!
This piece is special to me and I'm glad it found a new home 🖤
I am going to be real, the past days have been tough.
My only contact has been my family lately. And they did not congratulate me last week. They ignored the subject. It made me realize how alone I am. I couldn't share my joy with the closest people I have.
The beauty of the blockchain is that it enables us to record parts of our lives.
After years of wishing for one, I bought a camera.
My new piece 'Blackbird' captures all the darkness living within me before I embark on a new journey.
Let me take you through its story 👇
One thing I'm grateful for in this space is I can be truly my (weird) self.
I wanted to personally thank you for all the support you have shown to my latest piece 'Out At Sea'.
It is up for auction on
@exchgART
until 9PM UTC and currently led by the one and only

Gm ! ☀️
It's auction day!
Let me take you behind the scenes, here is Chapter 2 from its beginning with the music, the artwork to its end with the animation.
It took me a month and a half and way too much space on my hard drive 😂
See you tonight 9PM UTC, link below 👇
The Adventures of Lily The Freak

The spirit world awaits you.
If you ever wonder how crazy I can be, well here it is...

This week we're back with

The Grand Budapest Hotel is one of his favourites, perfect challenge to recreate it!
Set your reminders and come hang out this Friday at 6PM UTC, space link 👇 🔗
I'm an introvert so it's hard for me to find the right words and the courage to say them.
In my interpretation of TFE, the portal is not empty. It links back to John's piece, as if there was a door between our imaginations and it was opened through art.
Gm ☀️
I haven't been well health wise. It’s hard to slow down when all you want is to create.
This doesn't mean I can't end the year on a high note.
In the past days, I created a BONK inspired piece to ease my mind.
‘Wind of Change’, available now for 690k BONK on

Nothing scares me more than myself.
Anxiety is like a virus, one that will never go away.
'Outbreak' is my attempt at capturing what it feels like and it is dropping Thursday on

For a better experience, please watch with headphones.
Take care 🖤
And there it ends with an ATH.

Gm,
Today is a big day for me, I am starting a new chapter.
I am getting emotional because I am finally able to make my dream come true.
This would have not happened without the people who believe in me, support me and Solana.
I feel very grateful. Thank you 🖤
Gm!
A week ago, I created this reinterpretation of
@notjohnlestudio
's TFE as a message of hope to myself, hoping it'd ripple and resonate with others.
In those scary times, let it be a testimony of how powerful what we can create/build here.
We'll make it to the other side!
Time to sleep!

I hesitated because I have been busy but this was the perfect opportunity to finally show my appreciation for John and how he inspires me.
So I challenged myself. I'd have two days to create my entry and share it on Saturday 29th.
Gm 🫡
There are two pages I look at every day.
With SOL pumping, this takes me one step closer to owning a camera.
I have been saving for a long time aiming for Black Friday this month.
It's not pumping bags, it's pumping dreams.
Gm ☀️
About two weeks ago, I finally collected my first
@TrevElViz
animation !
Of course I did it for the Office references BUT I have always resonated with his work, especially with mental health.

It's been a while but I am slowly coming back. The last couple of weeks have been really tough but I'm feeling much better now.
It helped me to stay away from social media but I missed being here. I can't wait to catch up with you all, I hope you've been well! 💙
Creating this piece, I listened a lot to the song Touch by Daft Punk and the lyrics stuck in my mind.
“Hold on. If love is the answer, you’re home.”
I am home.
Solana is our home.

They are all incredible artists and I'm so proud we have our family here to have each other's back!
Whenever I see an illustrated work here whether it's a 1/1 or PFP, I always humbly imagine what it could look like in the real world.
If I could clone myself, I would try to reinterpret them to practise my skills and show appreciation to the artists who inspire me.
I'm speechless.
I was on a call with
@ScottyTheCoach

Thank you everyone for your support and love, what a day this is, I couldn't be more grateful!
Strangely, I've been feeling more introverted lately here than before. Even though it's not like meeting people IRL, I feel I sometimes need a break from it.
Where are my introverts at?

Goodbye 2023,
I'm late but it's time for me to close last year's chapter.
2023 was full of obstacles. And one by one, I faced each that stood in my way.
I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you, your support & Solana. You helped me go through dark times and find myself again.
Go beyond the looking glass and follow Lily’s magical journey as she takes her first steps inside her imagination!

@exchgART
I’ve always struggled to find meaning behind the word home. Everywhere I would go, I felt like I didn’t belong.
I was the weirdo, the freak, the shy girl in the corner who wasn’t sure what to make of her thoughts and her feelings.
I'm taking a quick break from the animation breakdown to show you the base plate of 'Light In the Darkest Places' aka all the original images I used.
I often use many to create characters.
Notice how the woman on the right has a stripe dress.
This was literally my nemesis.
I'm absolutely speechless, 107 sold, I had never imagined in a million years I would make this tweet.
I'm taking my time to answer to everyone, but from the bottom of my heart thank you so much. I'm so happy and grateful right now 💙
Before I finish this thread, I wanted to give a massive thank you and shout out to
@ScottyTheCoach
.
I am happy to call you a friend and I couldn't be more grateful for all your support and the motivation you've given me since last year.
Thank you for pushing me to do this!
