Joe Lam| 用NFT打造童年回忆 Creating Childhood Memories with NFTs



“I like painting very much. Every time I pick up the brush, I feel very relaxed and at ease, and my emotions are expressed with the brushstrokes, colors, and lines. Besides, I enjoy the creative process very much. If I am willing to experiment freely, whether painting or making Accessories, you can find fresh and interesting ideas.”


“我很喜欢画画。每次拿起画笔,我都觉得很轻松,很自在,我的情绪用笔触、颜色和线条来表达。此外,我非常享受创作过程。只要我愿意自由地尝试,无论是绘画还是制作配饰,你都能找到新鲜有趣的想法。”

Advocating a new generation of feminism

提倡新一代女性主義


She believes: “Girls with different personalities, appearances and temperaments have their unique beauty, which is worthy of being discovered and appreciated by creators.”


她认为:“不同性格、长相、气质的女孩,都有自己独特的美,值得创作者去发现和欣赏。”


Joe’s creations have a strong visual presence. Because of her previous experience working in publications, she frequently browses numerous magazines and websites, noting the beauty of some ladies for future reference, which has fostered her acute sense of fashion. She employs a variety of face traits, cosmetics, hairstyles, backgrounds, and clothes to show the distinct beauty of women of many cultures and ethnicities.


Joe所创作的作品风格大胆,由于她有在杂志工作的经验,自己也常常浏览不同的杂志及网站,把一些女生的美态记下来,以作参考,培养了她敏锐的时尚触觉。她用不同的面部五官、妆容、发型、背景和服饰来表示不同国籍、种族的女性所拥有的独特美。






The eyes are the windows to a person’s soul. When drawing, she will start with the eyes, then the outline, color matching, and ultimately the backdrop. The procedure is uncomplicated and stress-free. Girls’ fashion tastes vary greatly; some like neutral attire, while others ooze exotic flair.


眼睛是一个人心灵的窗户。画的时候,她会从眼睛开始,然后是轮廓、配色和背景。该过程不复杂且无压力。女生的时尚品味千差万别;有些人喜欢中性装束,而另一些人则散发出异国风情。


I wonder if girls will see their shadows in Joe’s paintings when they appreciate the works?


不知道女生在欣赏Joe的画作时,会不会看到自己的影子?


Her family is not only her supporter but also the source of her inspiration.

家庭不但是她的靠山,也是她创作的来源。


As a mother, Joe again shares the NFT series “Everyday is chill out day Kids Collection” that she produced with her children.


Joe以媽媽的身份再度分享她與子女一同製作的NFT系列「Everyday is chill out day Kids Collection」


The complete series has 26 NFTs A-Z, each of which is created of beautiful drawings into GIF animations and children’s voices to co-create and perform, conveying the priceless moments of their everyday lives.


全系列共有 26 个 NFT A-Z,每一个都由精美华丽的图画制成 GIF 动画和儿童的声音共同创作和表演,传达他们日常生活中的无价时刻。


We used to utilize albums and camcorders, and now we have cell phones to document our precious and meaningful moments. However, all these items may be incomplete due to time. The Metaverse can directly resolve these issues.


旧时,我们利用相册和摄录机,甚至现在有手机能够记录下我们所珍惜的时刻和动人的瞬间。但是,这些东西可能都会因为时间的流逝而有残缺。现在,元宇宙就能够解决这些烦恼。




When a child gets a new toy for the first time, there is a look of doubt mixed with excitement on his face.


小孩第一次得到新玩具时,脸上浮现出疑惑夹杂着一点点兴奋的表情。




Take the kids to the park to relax, the parents enjoy a picnic on the grass, the kids play with the boat on the lake, and even the kittens rest on the grass. Each has its unique style of unwinding while still enjoying life.


带着孩子去公园休息,父母在草地上野餐,孩子在湖上玩着小船,甚至小猫也慵懒的趴在草坪上。各自有各自的放松方式,但同时享受生活。





Children are always full of curiosity. Take a magnifying glass and look around at the beautiful creations of nature.


小孩子总是充满好奇心的。拿着放大镜,四处看看大自然的奇妙创造。



Joe documented the unique encounters she had with her children regularly. Each NFT will give the parents a knowing smile and a pleasant sensation of resonance. The development of children should be peaceful, cheerful, and stress-free. The same is true of education. They must have a happy and healthy upbringing. At the same time, her artworks want to encourage parents to spend more time getting to know and speaking with their children since they will be valuable memories in the future.


Joe定期记录他与孩子们的独特相遇。每个 NFT 都会给父母一个会心的微笑和一种很好的共鸣感。孩子的发展应该是平和、快乐、无压力的。教育也是如此。他们有一个快乐和健康的成长环境是至关重要的。同时,她的作品希望鼓励父母多花时间去了解和与孩子交谈,因为他们将成为未来宝贵的回忆。
