MerMay: Chapter 1

Author and artist Chelsea Evenstar spends her days navigating the starry skies and celestial portals of her imagination. She gathers constellations, fairies, and spells and infuses them into magical stories and stellar animated works.

Chelsea is a successful artist and thought leader in the cryptocurrency space and is specifically known for her work in the rapidly emerging NFT art market. Evenstar’s work has been collected by various luminaries in the art world. In October 2021, she was presented by Paris Hilton at Sotheby’s London, where her AQUARIUS piece was sold at auction for $18,900 during the London Frieze Art Fair.

Chelsea’s “Rise from the Abyss” NFT soared to the top three in the OVERCAME exhibition by Brandon Kang on grants.art. She also served as producer and character designer for 888’s The New World promo video. Learn More

 

THE DROP

‘MerMay: Chapter 1’ marks Evenstar’s genesis drop on MakersPlace and consists of a unique (1/1) animated Pisces work from her Starchaser Oracle series and a curated selection of limited edition works from her MerMay series, which she created during the month of May 2019 when her friend and artistic peer, Beeple challenged her to do everydays as a way to master 3D art-making. The result was a diary of moods, thoughts, and obsessions in the form of thirty-one 3D mermaids.

This series, as in much of the artist’s work, celebrates women's deep and powerful humanity.

“As someone who has struggled to understand my worth as a human outside society’s objectifying lens, many of my pieces attempt to celebrate women's deep and powerful humanity. We can be smart, angry, curious, loving, sexy, sweet, playful, joyful, sad, powerful, sassy, vulnerable, fierce, protective, nurturing, and any variety of ways - often all at once.”
