Inspired by collections like Evol and BAYC, I became hooked on the NFT scene and I even taught myself a bit of 3D art. It took a month to create my first NFT collection, “The Dudes,” which features cannabis creatures combined with funny outfits. I made the illustration, the web, the branding assets and the NFT creation. I launched it on OpenSea and sold 120 pieces to more than 50 people. I consider the project a success, not economically, but it taught me how much one person can achieve with community support, a good story, and the right technology. Also, The website was finalist in the Elementor awards of that year.
