On this episode of Koji Conversations, Soph chats to Blair from 1,989 Sisters.
1,989 Sisters is an NFT collection comprising of 1,989 female avatars hand drawn, painted and then scanned by Blair. The collection is an extension of her work as a fashion illustrator with a digitally native twist via a generative algorithm to embrace the NFT medium.

Soph and Blair chat about how side-hustles transition to life-changing careers, the promise of more female collectors and creators, and where the sisters fit within a broader ecosystem of artists, fashion houses, and brands entering the space.

TIME STAMP OF QUESTIONS

0:26 - In as many words or as little, what the Sisters are about and who you are, that would be a perfect way to start.

03:20 - Have you always been a love of fashion and wanting to pursue a career in the industry?

04:35 - You had a preexisting following coming into NFTS but I think you’ve found a new crypto native following for you work as well, what has that experience been like?

06:38 - When did you first come across NFT’s and decide that was something you wanted to pursue yourself with your own art?

08:24 - Why do you think it is women in NFT season?

12:50 - As soon as you sold out I think it pretty much 10 x straight out of the gate, it was completely organic growth, you didn't do an paid advertising for the collection. I presume that was a deliberate strategy choice on your end?

17:10 - How was it being non technical to an extent and coming into the world of Blockchain and OpenSea and NFT’s how did you go about actually getting the bricks of mortar of technical experience?

19:10 - And I think in talking to your peers from the fashion industry, the sisters was definitely first of its kind as a fashion illustration NFT collection. Do you think we’re going to start to see more of your peers move into the space?

20:06 - How do you feel larger fashion brands fit into the NFT space, compared to individual creators like yourself?

21:22 - From your point of view, what is next for the sisters?

24:40 - The sisters have recently attracted a lot of attention from celebrities in the NFT space. I think Reese Witherspoon or Paris Hilton may have been the first. And then you had Cosomo and most recently Eva Longoria, how does that feel?

28:24 - What has been the biggest surprise for you out of this entire experience?
