This embroidered patch has been my profile picture since 2006. I had them made from a photo I took of myself using a digital camera, which I hand digitized into vector art in Corel Draw. I carried them with me to give away to friends and anyone I met, hence "friends of." There are roughly 800 of them floating around the world of various colors.
I chose to mint this as the first artwork on my JEFFJAG ERC721 smart contract because it means something to me about the creative journey I've been on for the last 15 years. My story started before that and will continue after, but this patch was my online identity from Web1 through Web3. For the smart contract, it serves as my ASCII Art embedded to personalize every one of one artwork I mint to this contract.
This is my identity and my stamp. My certificate of authenticity and my seal of approval written on the blockchain.
On the first day of 2023, I moved JeffJag.eth from my original wallet 0xcd56a61fE76C08a4B5eabC53C8B0f5e8c38a1c06 to my new minting wallet 0xB02174bADF199770564b0cA6113F08fa27B981AA and at that time, changed my patch colors from Green to Blue border
On the first day of 2024, I updated the patch color from Blue to Red
