If it weren't for you, I'd probably be as lost as a feather in the Gale winds. I finally was able to sleep peacefully last night for more than 6 hours (my PR since leaving Ukraine). I now have a temporary shelter over my head, all credit to the HIVE community. I cannot sugarcoat it, the situation I am in is horrible and painful. Being a refugee is not easy, but you guys have made it bearable. Thank you.
I know I didn't promise anyone anything in return for their support but I will try my best to return the liquid HIVE/HBD sent to me as charity as soon as I find solid ground under my feet. Still, I believe it is important TO ME to make sure I do something to show my appreciation to all of you who have helped me.
The art itself is poetic. It is the last digital art I started working on before the invasion began. I remember coming back from work and looking up all the different ways to "draw" detailed wings. That action deftly defines the lifestyle I was building - recognizing difficult tasks and trying to perfect myself in it so it could make me a more, overall, skilled and better person. Trying to learn different things and make myself a more "successful" human. It wasn't limited to digital art. I did the same with languages, my profession, my attitude, extreme sports, finance and more.
Just as I was truly starting to shape my life, it all got destroyed.
Excuse me if the painting looks unfinished, because it truly is unfinished. An incomplete work that may look whole but really isn't. Just like the lives of the 45 million Ukrainians. Just like the lives of the people that ended a little too early and a little too abruptly. Just like the lives of the people hiding in bunkers with their children with no clear vision of the future. Just like the lives of the Ukrainian people who have luckily escaped to the neighboring countries and running around frantically to get a chance at a new life. It is all incomplete. All of it.
I have tried to make each NFT as unique as possible by branding your usernames into the art. I am sorry it is not as individual as I would like it to be. But with limited time, resources, and unsure future, it is the best I can do. In general, it is for the people who have sent me liquid HIVE/HBD and helped with either information or resources. I would like to make more for the people who have helped other Ukrainians so if you know any please leave their usernames in the comments below. I will also try to create more for the people that donate in the future. In general, there probably is no resale value of these "branded" NFTs. It is merely a token of appreciation from me to you for all the troubles I put you through.
I have decided to do it through NFTshowroom to keep it all within the HIVE ecosystem and giving back to the community is so much simpler this way.
AUCTION
1/1 signed copy.
The signed copy of the original art is up for auction. You can support this time of troubles by bidding or buying it. It is up for auction and can be bid on/bought from the NFTshowroom. I have set the minimum bid on 45 to allow users of all levels to have a go at it if they want. The Buy it now price is set on 2422, as in 24th of 2022, the day all our lives literally hit the skids. It creates a lot of space for bids. Although the auction expires in 15 days, I will probably settle it in 14 days if I get the chance. There is no guarantee since I do not know if I'll have access in 14 days, although I can hope I do.
The rights of all copies are set to Limited Reproduction, which AFAIK gives you the freedom to do pretty much anything with the NFT. Publish it, modify it, send it to your newspaper, set it as your mobile phone wallpaper, use it on your blogs, make it your PFP, what have you. Images are of large size and as high quality as I could make them. The thumbnail of course is going to be only of a more watered down quality, and the original file with high quality can be viewed on IPFS.
You should find your personalized NFTs in your NFTshowroom galleries @gtg @guiltyparties @erikah @corvidae @adoore-eu @ellenripley @finguru @mespanta @melinda010100 @polish.hive @kwskicky
STAND WITH UKRAINE on auction now.

I've read your post a few times and I'm still speechless. I'm not sure yet what I have to do. I will say Thank You very much for now and God bless you! I hope things work out for you very soon. Till then, further support is still available.
Thank you for all that you've done. I have a temporary roof on my head and will continue do so as long as funds last. Other than that it is a waiting game. I have applied with different hospitals and also countries (where I need visas to travel to). I am hoping there is a rainbow waiting for me when the rain ends.
I'm glad to hear you have applied to hospitals already. It is a step forward. Also it's good that hou can have some rest and privacy to be able to organize things. Something has to come up sooner or later. By the way, I forgot to tell you, you don't have to pay me back anything. Keep it, use it to restore your life as soon as possible.
Thank you!!! Seriously awesome gift.
I don't expect or even want the money returned. Just pay it forward to the next person in need when you are secure again. And love on some crows now and then...
No, Thank you! It is the least I could do for now. You have helped me so much. you wont believe how much it means to me.
It was a pleasure. My God be with you and keep you safe
I'm glad I was able to help. I can't even imagine what that's like. I hope you will get to go home again.

I'm moved.
I hope this nightmare will end soon.
I'm from Poland but not from Warsaw. If you need any help let me know.
Take care
Thank you, that is amazing that you back a little to "normality", I wish that in a few months everything will be only a bad dream for all of us.
I'm so pleased you have some shelter for now. I honestly didn't expect or want the money back, just think about yourself and you take care. ❤
Yay! 🤗

What a treasure this is! And also my first NFT in my gallery. You've made me curious about spending more time exploring the NFT Showroom.
The Hive I sent was a gift, not charity, and when you get settled again simply pay it forward. I don't need it returned.
I sincerely hope that there are many more good night's sleep in your immediate future, my friend.
Sending hugs and hope and thanks for this incredibly special artwork.
I really feel for the people of Ukraine, you are all on my mind 24/7. Ihate what Putin is doing to you and your country. You should all be proud for how you have all stood up to Putin, he's a man child who had dropped his dummy. I Stand with 🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇺🇦
So you want to fund Nazis /warmongers and pedophiles?
This is a wonderful thing that you did, thinking of others despite your pain!

Stay strong my friend. Sending love your way. Stay safe!
Glad you are safe where you are. Thanks for the gift, it is amazing to see you look for how to give even when you are still in need. Thanks for the nft, even when am not knowledgeable about how to see it or get it for now, but I surely do appreciate.
Pls do not return the hive, it's yours now.
Left you a message on Twitter, have some good news, please read it.
That is an awesome idea and thank you.
No, thank you!
