The boutique NFT drop by editor and co founder of Blockleaders, Jillian Godsil, went on sale today on the Wax blockchain, via the NeftyBlocks application. All packs sold out in less than three minutes.
Standard and Premium packs were available which contained 5 and 10 NFTs respectively. Packs are now for sale on the Neftyblocks secondary market, with a portion of the NFTs also being made available on the popular Atomic Hub secondary market..
“In a word, delighted,” said Jillian Godsil, author and artist of the sketches. “I also want to thank my daughter Georgina who managed all the variants of each sketch and the socials for all.”
Thanks are extended also to Adam Bouktila from DMerch who oversaw the project giving advice, to Juan Paniagua and his team at NeftyBlocks, to Steve Morgan from Royale Music for his support, and to my other daughter Kathryn for helping out too. Finally thanks to Graffiti Kings Legend Darren Cullen for believing in me.
“Phew!”
The subjects range from Mr Bitcoin Andreas Antonopoulos to Liberland President Vit Jedlička to the late and infamous John McAfee. The book is a snapshot of blockchain during covid at the end of last year.
Author Jillian Godsil went onto to sketch all 42 subjects included in her book. Her art tutor over lockdown described her style as a cross between Roald Dahl’s illustrator Quentin Blake and a five year old – with the five year style having dominance.
“It’s been a fun experience to convert my subjects from words to images and thence to NFTs,” says Jillian. “I enlisted the help of my horse mad daughter Georgina to create the variables for my images. We had fun guessing who was who – I hope you enjoy getting the NFTs as much as we had making them.”
Persons of Interest, Timestamped in Blockchain and Cryptocurrecy, Vol 1, the book follows the paths of 41 prominent people working in the sector; some are very high profile and some less so, but they all share a passion for blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Jillian is a fintech journalist with more than 30 years international experience across the world. For the past five years Jillian travelled from her rural village in Ireland to chair blockchain conferences across the world – from Dubai, Kiev, Muscat, Columbo, New York, Austen, Cape Town, Amsterdam, Vienna, London and Dublin.
Jillian is co-founder of Blockleaders, and is a freelancer for Coin Telegraph, the Irish Times and Coindesk.
In her travels Jillian was privileged to meet with some of the inspiring founders, gurus, experts, thinkers and in some cases chancers from this dynamic world; the energy is boundless, the optimism endless and the pace relentless.
This book is for anyone interested in this sector, focusing on the saucy, thoughtful, quirky, energized, crazy, intelligent, and inspiring players in the space.

I am a writer and have been since I was very, very little. When I was younger I worried I would not find enough plots for my books, then I grew up and the combination of life and an enquiring mind, put paid to that worry. Now, I just worry about finding time to get down all the words in a coherent form that makes sense and makes me happy.
