Nyla said she was inspired to create digital artwork by her Grandmother who told her to draw what she loves.
“So I love being a female and I love the brontosaurus dinosaur and I said well what if I put the two together and start making these girls with long necks and call them long neckies,” she told Tom’s Guide.
Her uncle told her to go the NFT route to protect her intellectual property, and the rest is history.
She now has a collection of Long Neckies digital artwork which she has made available via NFT. And to top it off, Nyla has been recently featured in Time Magazine for Kids and was appointed as Time’s first ever Artist In Residence.
“My Long Neckies stand for diversity and women from all around the world. It’s meant to make people comfortable in their own skin and it’s meant to make young girls feel powerful about being themselves,” said Hayes.
