Originally released asNhefertiti

In 2024, I created the full visual concept and illustration series for Farcaster Fridays in London, working under my artist name, Nhefertiti.

The idea was simple: as people walked through different parts of the city together, they could collect a new illustrated badge connected to that place and moment.

I designed all six pieces as one collection, so each badge had its own personality while still feeling like part of the same London story.

The idea

I wanted the badges to feel like little souvenirs from the walk.

Each one was tied to a different London location, but I kept the same circular format, typography and colour language so they would feel connected when collected together.

Creating six illustrations meant finding a balance between consistency and variety. The structure stayed the same, while each place got its own architecture, colours and little details.

Collecting them on the walk

During the Farcaster Fridays walks, participants could collect the illustrated badges as POAPs, turning each stop into a small digital souvenir of being there.

I loved that the illustrations became more than images on a screen. They were part of the experience and something people could keep afterwards.
