NFT Origin Story: Bridget Merkle aka Pink Skull (Artist)

Starting Now with Jeff Sarris

This week my guest is Bridget Merkle, Solana NFT artist and co-creator of the Solana Institute of Art.

"I just want to make art and help people."
—Bridget Merkle

In this episode we dive into Bridget's origin story. We talk about imposter syndrome and how a shared experience of creating in public helped set the stage for her career as an artist. We learn about the moment Bridget decided she was ready to quit her job and go full-time into NFTs. We also talk about Solana, Holaplex, how she connected with her first collectors, and much more.
