And I ended up doing a big tiger on him. And it led us through about three sessions. He ended up getting a huge dragon on the top of his shoulder from [Chris] Garver.

And we were always talking about different ways that we could do things where I could work art into gaming. Currently, Nunez is focusing on philanthropy surrounding his love for the Amazon rainforest.

I went after the heart and soul or heartbeat, to me, of what I love about tattooing. And that's real tattooers that are on the grind. Yeah, you get to use some of that shine you have from being on reality TV to highlight these people who you met along the way.

I was also wondering if you could take me through a bit on the user experience of Color Collab. What does it look like when a budding young artist loads it up? So Simon built us such a robust platform and again, built it through the pandemic in such a relatively short amount of time, with all of our very small staff that we have, everybody's Zooming back and forth, nobody together.

Simon came up with something that, for me, the first time he gave it to me to use it, I couldn't believe it. I was blown away. I sat on it for five hours. You know what I mean? Because you always hear, "Hey, we're going to do this and we're going to do that," but then when you have something in your hands that's real for an artist especially, we have a lot of things come our way, but never come to fruition.

And this thing was a real thing in my hand, I was completely taken back. When you get on the app and you can open it up, you have your different tools, which you can select. You can select your different paints. You can paint either per cell or you can actually go in with an iPencil or an iPen and your tool and you can actually shape, you can blend colors. You can stipple shade, you can dye, you can fade out, you can use what almost looks like spray paint.

You can get lost. So the beauty of what it is that Simon built through all of our conversations is now we get to watch our replays on the app.

Seeing what other people do with our app is what really blows my mind. And I think what really gives our company gas, because, yeah man, people are really getting after it and using it and doing things that I didn't expect. And that's the whole beauty of creation and collaboration. And that's what this has been, truly. I think it's coming at a really great time too, because a lot of people have turned to art as a form of self-care during these times.

Has coloring or art been a useful tool for you during these times besides getting this app together? Yeah, because for me, I've been looking at, what I would say [is] the last five years for me has really been an uptick in art. And it's been kind of this kind of reemerging explosion, because when I was a kid, I grew up in the graffiti world.

I'm talking like a real kid, like eight years old till I was Then at 18, I started tattooing and I took everything and all my energy and put it into that, because it was so difficult at the time to kind of grasp that I'm tattooing people's skin. So I took that really serious and put everything into it. But to your point, being able to see what happened over the course of the pandemic for me, it's a total — it's a renaissance because we saw amazing music.

We saw writing, we saw screenplays, we see art, we see this whole tech world diving into this NFT market. We see everything exploding, but anybody who took the time to create is reaping the fruit of their creation now, right? Because you're seeing so many opportunities emerge and I think the artists are now, through what has happened and through all their hard work and through tech, are finally going to get a fair shake on heart.

So I know Color Collab isn't the only thing you've been busy working on. I was wondering if you could give us any hints about the other projects you have in the works.

As far as Color Collab goes, I will tell you, we have some amazing contests coming up very shortly like in the next couple of weeks. And we will be dropping NFTs and we are actually going to do for the first ever launch We have some really exciting NFT launches, our partner artists and my friends.

We are going into other genres of art quickly and emerging into the things that we really are attracted to, which is cultural, a lot of murals and street art, a lot of graffiti.
