After 3.5 months of "rugging". I have officially returned to the digital world. I have learned a lot in my time abroad. Spending my days touching grass 24/7. The disconnect to this space is so large, I have no idea what's going on. What has happened to the market. Or even my own projects. Some would call this negligence. I like to think I simply lived fully for the first time in 6 years. My journey brought me to Nepal, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Vietnam. Each of them wildly different from my day to day life. Different from here. Every day new experiences, smells and views came to me. Inspiring me to my core. But above all, I got to fulfill my dreams. I got to surf with Fuji, to see the subjects that inspired me for 10 years, to propose to my fiancé, and to find meaning in what I do as artist. My conclusion is my journey has truly only begun now. And web3 is part of it. But its important to remember this space lives in a bubble. It's an amazing bubble no doubt. But seeing the world, and genuinely deleting twitter from the phone made me see things quite different. I intent to show you overtime what that means and make you feel the experiences in ways that a photo never could. But for now.. I DECLARE AN END TO THE RUG. Stay breezy. Stay bullish.

Happy new hear my Breezers. And what a year it’s been. 2025 was chaotic, powerful and quite the rollercoaster. I intend to release @midnightbreezey and I did. But man what a journey that was. In my effort to make it a big deal 2 more artworks were created. Distant Summer Rain and The Tatami room. Each the kind of art I feel is perfect for this industry. And I could see so did you. 1000 letters sent, and hundreds of messages , stories and theories created. I’ve been fulltime since January 2021. And started my journey in October 2020. It’s been non stop for years. Everyday, every minute spend here and in my art in an attempt to show the world I’m here. But now for the first time, I’ve taken a break from the socials (as you’ve probably noticed). And it’s been good. This space has a lot of bad in it that we do t even realise until we step away. But also a lot of good. And I intend to focus on that this year. It’s time to start moving in a way that’s positives d beneficial for everyone. And that’s my intend for this year. It’s going to be different. But above all, It’s going to be breezy Happy 2026

4 years today since my life changed forever, and MidnightBreeze was born To what basically felt like overnight, my world was turned upside down and I was given the opportunity to do what I absolutely live for fulltime. Creating an incredible community on the way of finding my voice in this space. A lot has changed since then. The space matured. The 14h work days changed to 3.5 years of grinding. A painstakingly slow process to my vision of Midnight Breeze Fragments “v2” There’s so much to reflect on it’s almost overwhelming. But in that time a lot has happened. 250 physical 1/1 MidnightBreeze prints made it into the homes of the truly dedicated collectors. While live-streaming the entire process of what would become the first ever generative animated story that evolves with you. A mouthful I know. But that’s what it is. A living breathing world that holds value because of your interpretation. And this is obviously a cliche in art. But it’s true. Many of you will hold onto this art because it’s found a place in your heart. This community is special. The discord is a digital home where many of you find refuge in the chaos and 24/7 market. It’s always been my intention to make something that fits this new culture on the internet. A place to connect, to grow and evolve, to find yourself, to meet like minded people, and to innovate. Midnight breeze is all these things without being loud about it. It encompasses this vision in every aspect. From vending machine cans to lore through the tatami room, from the burn mechanism and the art itself. This space might forget this. But you, I know you won’t if you got this far. So thank you for being here for the past years, thank you for your endless support. And thank you for walking the lonely road. Happy Breeze-aversary Stay bullish, stay breezy Ps, the cook continues. Those who hold a MidnightBreeze might want to start voting on the website, link in bio.

The lonely road

Im thinking of exploring all MidnightBreeze traits. Like the ones below where you see traits in the detail they were actually made, outside of your breeze scene. Elaborating more deeply on this world. And its characters/ stories. What do you think?

Massive moment for me. MidnightBreeze will be shown on the big screen during Art Basel with Nolcha. Super excited to show the world the details and intricacy the lonely road has to offer. And cannot wait for those who will be there to experience it!

MidnightBreeze Fragments is the most detailed and intricate landscape collection in the history of NFTs. There is no other animated collection that comes close.

Meet @dutchtide. The artist behind Midnight Breeze, a generative world years in the making. Together we talked stillness, connection, and how community-driven storytelling turns each fragmented story into a living journey. Read our full interview below. opensea.io/blog/articles/…

Been doing this for 5 years straight. And honestly theres a few things i took away from it. 1. Timeline only cares if you got momentum. Momentum comes from speculation. Speculation comes from the community. Community comes from art. 2. Complaining about engagement always gives engagement. Aka, negative energy always gets perpetuated over positive energy. Its the way this space works. And socials an large. 3. Bubbles are real. I have my breeze bubble. Ive been here long enough. But to reach outside of it? That's a big big challenge. Most of the time I end up speaking to you guys. But not really anyone outside the space. 4. The only growth metric I know is to build engaging stuff. And ask individually, aka dm 500 people that you know and have spoken to. To have a look and, honestly engage. And that alone will get you out there. This is why the KOLs have a position of power. Whereas they do not neccecarily contribute anything to the space. They simply can create ripples you as builder cannot yourself. But do not stare yourself blind on that either. Just because there's a ripple, does not mean there's conversion. And all this shit, it has nothing to do with art. And thats why it's so tiring. Especially because people want you to play this game perfectly. I want to play it perfectly. But its damn hard. Especially knowing my stuff is so hard to produce, and niche. Take away though. Find ways to have fun. Otherwise it's just a drag

Loving my new Kaiju 🤩

Nothing like this will ever exist again. Unless you mint it.

Could not resist: My first @midnightbreezey with a low rarity, my second with a fox. I really love em - thank you @dutchtide

This art is good. I will use it to onboard people into digital collectibles. I saw this at my exhibition. People completely outside this ecosystem, outside this space asked "how do I get this?" And that right there. Is the golden question.
