Women and Weapons

What Women and Weapons does

Women and Weapons is an NFT art brand and Web3-native IP studio founded in 2021 by artist Sara Baumann (aka Sparky) and operated through her US LLC, Sparky Art House, LLC. The company's core product is two Ethereum-based ERC-721 NFT collections: Season One (10,000 pieces launched October 2021, sold out in four hours) and Season Two (launched June 2022, featuring 10,000 airdrops to Season One holders, 500 reserved mints, and an open edition at 0.05 ETH). Each piece is built from 200+ hand-illustrated traits by Sparky, combined algorithmically for unique outputs, and is sold with full commercial and IP rights granted to holders. The company is extending its IP into a token-gated Member Portal, a physical merchandise line (WAW Provisions, $40-$65 apparel), an animated digital influencer called Nova built with motion-capture technology, and exploration of 3D avatars across metaverse platforms including Otherside, Sandbox, and Decentraland. A sci-fi narrative universe, Artirium Wars, underpins long-form storytelling ambitions.

The business model rests on four revenue streams: NFT primary sales (with 90% of proceeds going to the WAW wallet and Sparky Art House, LLC), royalties on secondary-market trading on Magic Eden and OpenSea, physical merchandise sales through the WAW Provisions storefront, and a 5% donation commitment from primary and secondary sales to the Malala Fund (over $178,000 donated to date). Go-to-market is community-led, with Discord as the primary hub, a 100,000+ social following, and brand-building via VeeCon 2022, NFT NYC, and partnerships with Female Quotient, Coinbase, Coindesk, Tinder, Steve Aoki, Impact Theory, and Amber Vittoria. The customer base is approximately 5,800 long-tail individual NFT collectors and merchandise buyers, served globally through marketplaces and the owned storefront.
