NFTs (or “non-fungible tokens”) are a special kind of crypto asset in which each token is unique — as opposed to “fungible” assets like Bitcoin and dollar bills, which are all worth exactly the same amount. Because every NFT is unique, they can be used to authenticate ownership of digital assets like artworks, recordings, and virtual real estate or pets.(Coinbase)

The 5,555 NFTs are automatically generated by computer from 150+ original hand drawings. The very first Artsy was first created in 2017, Juju then brought them to the digital world in 2021.

I am intrigued by the concept of us humans having digital identities & alter-egos. Especially today, where much time is spent online, I find it fascinating that Art found its place and importance in this world wide web & ‘second life’ we all navigate. The interaction between physical and digital is central to my work & research. The questions I explore are society and culture based: cultural hybridisation, a globalised pop culture & gender fluidity.
‍As a child, I was obsessed with sci-fi comics, nintendo games, neopets, pokemons, club penguin, the sims and animes, I was once a ‘noob’- a member of a league resolving quests, and chatting w online friends through my custom avatar. I soon started drawing characters by hand & on Windows’ Paint. I have now grown into a Photoshop addict. This is why I immediately understood the craze for NFTS, and the warm feelings a digital image can stir - starting this NFT project felt like a natural & exciting new step.
I drew the first Artsy in 2017, when I was studying history at university. I didn't have the space or much time to explore my creativity, except at the library, So, I was doodling a lot during class, and I started scanning the designs inside my notebook and bringing them to life via computer. This is why I wanted to create a project supporting senior artists, but also those at the very beginning of their creative journey, like I was back then. Online platforms quickly became a way for me to share my Art and create a community of people around it that would support me and give me tips and feedback! This is why I want the Artsies Collective to be a space where new artists can also find comfort, freedom and confidence to show their new work in an encouraging and safe space.
In this first collection, I integrate the NFT technology, and the infinite possibilities it offers to my fine art & design practice. I hand drew most of the traits, and some were created digitally. I playfully mixed elements from mainstream Art History, eclectic worldwide fashion & a 2D/digital pop culture, to merge these into one colourful melting-pot-digital-utopia.
Doing so, I wanted to enhance the shifting notion of what is Art, and envision what a freer, hybrid, fluid, de-hierarchised and decentralised global culture could look like in the near future: new ideas are often transmitted through Art & fashion.

Stay weird,
