At husband Alexis Ohanian's will, Serena Williams and her daughter Olympia got transformed into superheroes in an artwork for the NFT world that was displayed on a Times Square billboard. Comic artist Amanda Conner designed the NFT.

According to her bio, "Eisner Award-winner Amanda Conner has been illustrating top titles for companies like DC and Marvel for over twenty years. She is well known for her success on DC's HARLEY QUINN title that served as a perfect conduit for her campy and infectious style.

During her 100+ issue run, the book became the top best-selling female title for DC. Her modifications to the character and costume made HARLEY QUINN one of the biggest licensed characters for Warner Brothers and have contributed to an animated series along with the Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey movies."
