Record NFT Gurl sold by artful Womxn duo
The #boiz and #gurlz collections are a series of unique sculpted collectible avatars. The original #boi was dreamed in VR by mother and artist LIŔONA while the original #gurlz are mostly given into the collaborations with other womxn artists. Each represents a different archetype of a genderless creature in the Metaverse
Little did LIŔONA and Lisa Odette expected their collaborative work became a first womxn art beating the record sales (150ETH) on Rarible NFT Platform. We spoke to Lisa and asked to share her thoughts on everything around the new movement, the new era.

DC: What was your path to doing what you’re doing now?
LO: I always liked to draw, that made my path pretty straight in terms of what I want to do for a living. Studied graphic design, the specialised in motion graphics, worked for a few agencies and decided to take a leap and learn 3D, it felt right from the start. Always thought that the projects I created for my 3D portfolio were too personal in style, and now that is what helps me to bee seen in the NFT art movement. I discovered about NFTs about a month ago and I felt so inspired that I wanted to take part right away, not only because of the financial aspect, but because of the possibility of being free to create without having in mind that maybe my style won't fit design studios.
DC: Is it important to you to be a part of a creative community of people?
LO: Being part of this community is very important for me, it brings me back memories from when I was a teenager uploading drawing to Deviant Art, the spirit is full of joy and optimist, also it give me the opportunity to interact and collaborate with so many artist, and also to discover new ones.
DC: What inspired the work in your current NFT collaboration?
LO: I feel very honoured to have collaborated with Liron, she invited me to participate in the first #gurl of her series, by bringing some more feminine shapes to the #boi, was a very fun experience and I can't wait to collaborate in more projects with her and other incredible artists and designers.
DC: What are your short plans for the next NFT drop?
LO: I have been busy finishing some freelance works but now I'm ready to create new Pieces, some of them are going to be new collabs that I'm very excited about and I also want to make my ladies animated, and level up in terms of my art.
DC: What advice would you give to someone starting out especially from gurls community?
LO: My advice if you are just starting with NFT is to get into the Twitter community and take part of it. Also show genuine interest in others and show your art to the world in order to be seen.
DC: If you could go back and do one thing differently, what would it be?
LO: I will not chance any part of my path in order to get where I am now. I have struggled with work, financially, I have doubted my abilities and stopped creating for a while, but in the end every step, even the sloppy ones got me here.
DC: Do you have any unrealised or unfinished projects?
LO: I have a bunch of unfinished projects, that normally I do in my free time between freelance works. Now I can focus on them and maybe they will be suitable as NFTs.
