and today we are here together to mend the beautiful, fascinating and incredible,
inspirational, hardcore, awesome, badass chicks which are the her-era's.
And I'm not going to lie, I'll say it upfront.
I am so incredibly stoked. I can't wait to have them in my wallet.
I already was talking about them with my sister who is not even into crypto,
but she has a phantom wallet and every now and then I send her some cool NFTs.
And she appreciates them and I was still in her, get ready because something incredible is coming.
So I am very, very, very excited.
And yeah, so thank you everyone for coming here and joining us.
I have a little favor to ask. I will ask everyone in here if you can very kindly give a little game time to the algorithms.
So like, retweet, quote-tweet, do some comments, talk some people who like art, talk some people who like women, talk all the women,
you know, to come and join us so that they can get an NFT to celebrate the upcoming second annual national Web 3 Women's Day,
which we will be celebrating exactly in one week's time.
I think it's pretty awesome this year that it worked out for a Sunday, even though we are all agents.
So we don't really play by the book of Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.
But it's good to pretend that we are like regular people and that Sunday is actually a rest day and that we have the time to do anything we want.
And saying that we do have a lot of people among us who actually do have a day job.
So for them as Sunday is actually a Sunday.
So you have time to hang around with us and and mint.
But yes, before we're gonna come to more speakers, I'm gonna do a little summary of what has been happening.
So after the first Women's Day and, you know, the fun with the muses, we spoke that we would love every year to bring forward one female artist to showcase her work to celebrate her and to combine her art with the National Web 3 Women's Day.
And we were fortunate that Morgan, a new Ellen, who is among us on the speakers. Hello, Ellen. I'm so excited that you are here with us today.
Hello. Hello. This is the first time I actually hear no, no, it's not we spoke. Sorry, I am.
I need to park. I am still somewhere between Phantom and Metamask. I need to park myself. But yeah, we spoke and you were free and available to squeeze us in and between all the amazing projects that you were working on.
And we have agreed to bring this amazing collection to life. So I don't know if Morgan already had a chance to welcome you in. If not, then welcome to this space. I'm so glad that you are here with us. Would you like to introduce yourself a little bit to the audience, please?
Sure, I'm the artist. My name is Ellen and I am a middle-aged Swedish woman, graphic designer, illustrator, tattoo artist. And now a game developer soon, hopefully.
And I draw NFT collections all the time now because of click. You got me into it. Super fun. And I'm enjoying it so much. Yeah, that's me.
I like how you started with middle-aged. I think that middle-aged is a very broad term. It's also an incredible term. I think that every year that we have on our belt or on our back is the superstar domier that brings us more confidence, more knowledge, more expertise, more finesse, if you may say.
But yet tell us about Web 3. How did you find Web 3 when you first entered it and worked on the NFTs with click?
Well, I found it through click. He was nagging me about drawing for an NFT cycle for almost a year, I think. I said, no. But then he told me what's the name for.
I got me into it anyway. So I started and I got to draw for a ball trunners the first one, males. And I got connected with the nib and C3 from Solon chain. And I've been working with them through like making NFT projects ever since.
So I got nagged into it. And I don't know anything about it, still kind of. I'm very new.
Well, if I may give a little bit of back and information, when you send us over the files, I thought that you had it everything so beautifully organized.
And I was when I was watching the trades and everything I was thinking to myself for a tattoo artist, it must be not as hard. And especially you being a graphic designer as well.
It's probably a reasonably easy transition into the NFTs because you're already used to creating the draft for tattoos on the iPads. So it's just more about the mechanics, right? How do you find it?
Yeah, it's way easier drawing on an iPad than on skin. But I've been drawing for 10 years. So it's just drawing is like second nature. It doesn't really matter what I do. I can do it on paper on iPad, on skin.
Yeah. And I love. Okay. So we have agreed that we're going to work together on the collection. And when we spoke, we said, you've got a free reign, do whatever you want to create.
And we just did a little baggy, baggy for some flowers and then we had the honor to have some of like parts of us to be represented in the collection. But I can honestly say that every time you have posted an update in where you add I was like, bloody hell, this is amazing. And I was just twirling my toes with happiness.
I was like, next thing Morgan, I like. I'm so glad. Thank you. That's very cool. I appreciate a lot. It's been super fun. And it actually you and Morgan has been like my biggest inspirations because you sent me like mood boards almost. Yeah, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah. But it was great though. It worked out great. It gave me a lot of like the feel of the whole collection is kind of based on you too.
Well, I was talking about, I don't know if you were already in there, but in click space, I was saying that I love like there is many traits. And I'm sorry, everyone in the listeners and speakers, we are talking about it. And you don't know yet, but you will know soon.
There is many incredible traits for me, in particular, the half face makeup, the orange, oh my god, I'm dying for it. Yeah, my favorite.
But the colors him of them is also incredible. It's so unique. I don't really see collections around with this color scheme. It's a do you want to tell us a bit more about the colors you've chosen.
I think I kind of work in the same palette almost like every collection I do, it just happens, but this one I go for like turquoise purple orange.
And for this one, I did it a little bit more or just darker, I guess. But I always fall into the same kind of color scheme.
Amazing, amazing. And we do have quite a lot of traits, would you like to tell us a bit more about the traits?
What do you want to hear? Maybe your process, what you wanted to include and what were your favorites and if there was anything that was your favorite, for instance.
My favorite, can I talk about them however I want? People haven't seen them yet. But I guess I like all the like the skull mask and the crown and also like the half colored faces and the half color with like blindness, the really light eyes.
I've been trying to just like make kind of classy women, but still with an edge, pretty dark edge maybe, but also kind of normal, like a mix between a like a modern emo girl.
Yeah, I more again do you have a rough time when we're going to be able to start minting mintes so that.
To probably less than like five minutes, I'm just trying out a couple of just things on the on the end with one of the pages and not even about five minutes.
So you know, put that link up there.
Fabulous, very exciting, very exciting. Right, I don't know because I was a little bit late lost in my butterfly world flying around the wallets and the metamask and all of it.
So I will just go in order as I see you guys on my screen. So please don't take any offense in terms of the speakers.
Right next to me, I have Sherry. So Sherry, welcome to the stage.
I heard in the previous space that you have been up for over 24 hours now. So I just want to say thank you for staying up for us as well and being here and supporting us. How are you?
I'm good. I'm good. I am starting to get a little bit tired, but I was not going to miss this space. So I'm here. I appreciate you guys for putting this on.
I appreciate the space here to on my go Ellen because I've been connected with her for a while now and I'm a part of the vote runners team. I'm a part of soul and chain team.
So she's one of our in-house artists. I'm claiming her for my own. Sorry, guys. I just I love her. I love the artwork. I was giving a bit of a backstory on how I came across Ellen actually in the last space.
And it was through something completely unrelated to NFTs. Click had sent me an image because he was going to make a life size cut out of me to take to Paris for the soul and chain meetup.
And he sent me a photo of when that he'd done for his friends and in the background was a painting that Ellen had done. And I was like, click. I was like, I don't care about that. I was like, who did that? And he introduced me to Ellen.
So I'm here for her. I love Ellen. I love her art. I say it all the time in just about every single space that I mean. She is incredible. So I'm just everything else aside.
I just I love the fact that we're here celebrating her because she is amazing. So thank you for having me guys. I wouldn't have missed this for the world. And I'm super excited for the minute. So come on. Let's go.
Let's go.
Rock and roll.
Rock and roll.
Yeah. Thank you. And if you're going to get really sleepy, please don't feel bad and just go to sleep. And because sleep is really important. And I think that 24 hours of no sleep is really not good for you.
So even if it's just a teeny tiny little nap and then if you wake up, you can hop back in. But yes, at least for the beginning of the month, I'm super glad that you are here with us and support in.
I will move on to and gentlemen, you will appreciate it. I am going to first call out the ladies. So we are skipping click click, sorry, you're going to be afterwards.
And next I've got a kid called blessed. How are you? Welcome. Hi everybody. For most of you, just get afternoon for me. It's still morning. It's 9 o'clock in the morning.
I'm I'm blessed. I am a little sick, but I'm okay. And only that. I'm really honored and blessed to be here. Ellen, I don't know you but I have seen some of your art. It's freaking amazing. What you've done.
Truly an honor that you're representing the women's day. I believe that your art speaks for itself. And there's so much variety that I think every woman can identify and find their own little story and their own little piece of themself.
And what you've created and you know that's when you know that you have a true artist is when you're able to look at a piece of art and just find a little piece of yourself that you identify through it.
And that's what's so amazing about the collection that you guys are all going to see we're going to be minting which is exciting.
It is that you're going to find yourself. You're going to be able to look at it and just identify or maybe even it'll bring out a piece of you that you don't even know about yet. And then you have this whole self discovery right through it.
And how exciting is that. But I really want to just keep it framed around her art. The individual that she is the creative mind that she has.
The talent that is being brought to you all. And then on top of it, the affordable pricing of being able to do to have her art.
You know how much of a blessing is that for each and every woman.
You know, I'm so grateful to be in a space that is honoring women with a woman artist and elevating and us being able to speak into her life to elevator even more together that confidence and give her that love and celebrate who she truly is.
And if we all just pay attention to the art, you know, when an artist designs they give us a piece of themselves.
Cherish that piece of themselves that they give us. Honor it and make sure that you let everybody know.
