Blonde Sheep Licensing has secured the global representation rights to MetaGallery’s portfolio of art related properties. The immediate focus will be in developing a licensing program for The Advisory Bored, a collective of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs. The agreement will give Blonde Sheep access to the Bored Apes, Mutant Apes and Kennel Club NFTs. 

Formed by MetaGallery, The Advisory Bored is a fellowship of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT owners and thought leaders, representing the Web3 community. Owners include American Ape, MetaZig.eth GM, CANNACITY, LimeNetw0rk and BelowBored, to name a few.  

“BAYC NFTs are one of the most well-known, desirable and highest value collections of NFTs in the world, and we’re thrilled that MetaGallery has chosen to work with us to develop the global licensing program,” says Natasha Dyson, founder and chief executive officer, Blonde Sheep Licensing. “We’re delighted to offer brands and retailers not just the desirable ape images, but various services to add appeal to the products, brand identity, and provide valuable data feedback. There are already many BAYC products in the market showing the existing, and growing, appetite for these bored looking apes.  Brands and retailers need to react quickly to this growing trend.”

While Blonde Sheep will focus on developing the licensing program, MetaGallery will offer its services, identifying and creating the optimum Web3 strategies that complement and enhance the retailer or brand's Web2 business, including Metaverse Environments, Digital Tokens and bespoke activations. These community building tools give brands and retailers direct access to their existing and potential customers and develop a much closer relationship thereby understanding their buying behavior.  

Created by Yuga Labs, there are 10,000 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs. Owners are granted rights to license the images, and derivatives of the images.

“I’ve been fortunate to work with Natasha over the years,” says Russell Singler, founder, MetaGallery. “Her reputation and experience with AAA brands in the industry provides us with the strongest foundation for growth and success. I know Natasha shares our excitement for this new frontier."
