“Memories of Qilin had become by far the most meaningful creative project I'd ever taken on. It took me 6 months to make, so it had become a large part of my life.”

— Emily Xie, The Monty Report, April 2023

I felt that I had truly found myself, my unique style, and what I cared about aesthetically.

Memories of Qilin by Emily Xie

Memories of Qilin is inspired by traditional East Asian art. It channels the sense of movement and fluidity found in classical Chinese brushwork, while drawing from the colors, patterns, and forms of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The series explores elements of folklore, evoking the mythological imagery of dragons, phoenixes, flowers, and mountains.

She came to generative art through software engineering, not fine art school — and spent six months before the mint finding a style that felt entirely her own. The result is a 1,024-piece series where the reference points are classical East Asian paintings and woodblock prints, rendered by an algorithm that has never seen a brush.

In her words

On finding a voice that was entirely her own

Memories of Qilin had become by far the most meaningful creative project I'd ever taken on. It took me 6 months to make, so it had become a large part of my life. And in that time, I matured significantly as an artist. I felt that I had truly found myself, my unique style, and what I cared about aesthetically.

One artist on this page. 46 collections in the median wallet we look at.

Every figure above comes from Alfred’s own dataset — sales, volume and owners read off the chain, floors from the marketplaces. On a wallet he goes one step further, to the number that gets buried under a decade of transfers: what you actually paid.

In the wallets we look at, nearly half of what people hold has no purchase price to look up. It arrived as a mint, a swap or a transfer.

Alfred follows each one back through the chain.

Both figures come from one reading: 16 wallets, 3,548 items, Sep 2026.
