Last June, Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch while playing vs. Finland, where he almost died of a cardiac arrest. He recently made his first appearance vs. Serbia, and within the first two minutes, he scored a goal on his first touch.
*I get goose bumps watching this*

I’ve enjoyed diving deeper into the NFT art world. I’ve started to document a few of my favorite up-and-coming artists, and I want to talk about them here. Let me know if that’s something that you want to see more of, and perhaps I’ll make it like the music section.

Thomas Lin Pedersen is a generative artist who has two different collections on ArtBlocks. Here are a few pieces from his ‘Screens’ collection that I’m in love with.
Amanda Godreau is a digital artist and designer who I found on SuperRare, here’s my favorite of her collection.
Atif Mellal is a multidisciplinary artist from Spain that I just recently discovered. I purchased this piece below, titled ‘Soulmate’ which I absolutely love. He just released ‘Vivid’, a new series on Formfunction, which is an NFT marketplace built on Solana. Last week, OpenSea announced the upcoming Solana integration which brings more attention to their ecosystem.

From Me 🎒
Hello April, it’s nice to see you. As my stay in Miami comes to an end, I’m extra grateful for the opportunity I had to live here. I got a chance to hang with some of my favorite people, friends and family came to visit, I met some wonderful humans, we immersed ourselves in the culture, ate our way through Miami and Miami Beach, soaked in the art scene and generally fell in love with the city. All of a sudden my world is changing rapidly and I'm trying to lean in and enjoy it day by day. I love this life, and I'm excited for this next chapter to unfold.
