Ahead of her upcoming genesis Nifty Gateway drop, I had the great fortune to grab some time and chat with the powerhouse young artist who goes by the artist name JisuArtist.
Jisu has been blazing an exciting path for her art that marries the anime aesthetic with fine art flourishes. While still incredibly young, Jisu has already lived an amazingly unique and exciting career at the intersection of gaming and content creation prior to her entrance into the sphere of fine digital art and NFTs.
We unpack A LOT over the course of our conversation beginning with her genesis story of finding the passion to create art as a child and the influence anime and manga, particular in print form, had on her as well as the impact that DeviantArt and the digital artists there had on her creative journey.
Her experience as an influencer in competitive gaming and streaming gave us a lot to talk about. Jisu recounts myriad lessons learned and best practices from those non-art sectors as they relate to cryptoart and NFTs and she also talks about how NFTs have helped give her the freedom to focus exclusively on her art far away from the pressure to become a "commodified artist" that existed in the social influencer gaming space.
Finally, we dive deep into the concept behind "The Fates," her upcoming collection on Nifty Gateway. It's at once both a deeply personal collection that represents her own lived struggles and triumphs as well as universal, since it both incorporates and also speaks to the double-edged promises and threats tied into new tech like AI.
"The Fates" by Jisu will go live on Nifty Gateway Monday, May 5th at 6:30 pm ET. You can preview the collection and set a drop alert by going HERE.
