I Can’t Do This Anymore
The famous Fortune Magazine has also begun making an NFT magazine cover, and its first client is the protagonist of this article– PplPleasr. The cover is a tribute to the emerging NFT market, a departure from Fortune’s Wall Street-related style, and it features a number of well-known faces active in the NFT market.
大名鼎鼎的《财富》杂志竟然也开始制作NFT封面,而它的第一个委托人,就是本文主角——皮丽斯。这次的封面是对新兴起的NFT市场的致敬,一改往日《财富》与华尔街紧密相关的风格,新的封面包含了许多活跃在NFT市场的知名头像。

Pplpleasr remarked: “The Fortune magazine was something that I think is a special moment for all of us because it sort of represents one of these pivotal moments of traditional media representing the entire community.”
皮丽斯说:“我认为《财富》杂志的关注对我们所有人来说都是一个非常特殊的时刻,因为这件事可以说是传统媒体和传统社会对NFT态度转变的关键标志。”
Pplpleasr, from New York, is so talented that even Apple wanted her on board. Her work as a digital artist is prolific, having previously created visual effects for commercials for films such as Batman v. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Star Trek, as well as Blizzard’s game cinematics.
皮丽斯来自纽约,她的确才华横溢,就连苹果公司也希望她能入职。作为一名数字艺术家,她的工作成果颇丰,在此之前她已经为《蝙蝠侠大战超人》、《神奇女侠》、《星际迷航》等电影的商业广告和暴雪公司的游戏电影制作视觉特效。

It can be said that her digital artworks are very good at finding a balance between realistic and absurd. Pplpleasr makes use of her super ability to draw by hand to create a strange new world for the audience. In this new world, cartoons, movies, religion, science fiction, traditional Chinese, and Japanese culture are all absorbed and unified in her unique ethereal style.
可以说,她的电子作品非常善于在现实与荒诞的极端中寻找平衡。皮丽斯利用超强的手绘能力,为观众打造了一片光怪陆离的新世界。在这一片新世界中,卡通、电影、宗教、科幻、中国和日本传统文化都被她吸收其中,并被统一在她独特的空灵的风格之中。

It is hard to imagine that the reason such an excellent artist entered the NFT market in the first place, was due to the unemployment caused by the pandemic. After losing her job, she started doing video artwork and uploading it to DeFi on the recommendation of a friend. DeFi is a collective term for financial products and services that are accessible to anyone who can use Ethereum– anyone with an internet connection.
很难想象,就是这样一位涉猎颇广的艺术家,最初进入NFT行业的原因,竟然是由于疫情大流行而导致的失业。在失业之后,她朋友的推荐下开始做一些视频工作并上传到DeFi平台。DeFi是一个集合词,指任何可以使用以太坊的人都可以访问的金融产品和服务。

Since then, Pplpleasr has not only gained many fans but also more and more companies and social groups have contacted her, asking her to accept video production commissions. Since then, her fame has grown with cumulative sales of her work exceeding $1.2 million to date.
从此皮丽斯一发不可收拾,不仅收获了很多粉丝,越来越多的公司和社会团体也开始联系她,希望她能接受视频制作的委托。皮丽斯名气逐渐变大,迄今为止,她的作品的累计销售额已经超过了120万美元。
Like many established NFT artists, Pplpleasr believes that the NFT market is still in its early days and has a lot of work to do. While not perfect, the NFT market is still the latest trend in the art market. Pplpleasr itself represents a way for young women to start their artistic careers here, which in itself is an inspiring story.
与许多业已成名的NFT艺术家一样,皮丽斯也认为NFT市场仍处在它的早起阶段,仍有许多东西需要完善。虽然还不算完美,但NFT市场仍然是艺术市场最新的风口。皮丽斯本身也代表了一种方式,年轻女性可以在这里开始自己的艺术生涯,这本身就是一件令人鼓舞的事情。
