Happy: I got a great tricycle 🤣
That's depressing lol
Happy:🤣🤣🤣🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Jeff Donahue: happy usually spends the year designing commissioned art cars for burning man . Pandemic slowed that down a bit unfortunately . Hence the starving artist project, but this helps me learn new technology.
So is how's the project going ?
Jeff Donahue: slow and steady . We just launched the pizza's two of the vampires sold immediately
Happy: Working every single day on trying to create digitally This is my first time doing digitally I've only been a hands-on creator and maker professionally for the past 20 years
Jeff Donahue: For the pizza's every Pizza purchased is a raffle ticket for a number one mint. Drops close Saturday 24th . Raffle off Sunday 25th so this weekend
Always good when something sells out . So how much the pizzas for sale for ?
Jeff Donahue: https://wax.atomichub.io/drops/21047+21049+21051+21054+21056+21057 . The free one sold out of course. Each Pizza is 10 wax.

I hope its still going strong eliquid company
Jeff Donahue: American market is a disaster but we are afloat
So where did the idea for NFT's come from ?
Happy: I just literally have a creating problem I have too much stuff to get out
But why NFT's ?
Happy: Jeff convinced me to buy an iPad and start creating these things because he's smart with this stuff but if it wasn't for him I would have never started
Jeff Donahue: happy had a laptop that was being used as a coffee mat he had to learn that the iPad was a tool just like a paint brush
Happy: I think maybe the hard thing for some people will be I have a million different styles and might not look like it's all from one person
Jeff Donahue: his evolution is absolutely incredible . He just picked up the iPad one month ago. First digital creations. You can see his evolution in his template
So maybe run two different accounts
Jeff Donahue: https://wax.atomichub.io/creator/collection/happytokillu
Happy: I'd prefer to be airbrushing or sculpting 🤣🤣🤣 didn't realize how bad your eyes hurt when you look at a screen for so long 🥺🤣🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I know the feeling
Happy: Are you also a creator or maker or both?
No I don't create sadly I am just a noisy bugger who likes to ask a lot of questions and put it into an article and promote artist
Happy: That's fucking awesome help out artists 🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯💯💯 I know there's a lot of other artists like me that do not do digital whatsoever and struggle with a lot of these things if it wasn't for Jeff I want to be able to do any of this . Grateful for this awesome home-based team
Its great to see you able to rely on someone !!!!!!!
Happy: Literally life-saving these days . My entire career has been put on full stop because of covid . So to have something to focus on and someone to rely on is mentally life-saving
Jeff Donahue: Plus I made a shit load of money of alien worlds, so I can focus on the geek stuff. The One was one of those paintings. We have to ship to Germany. The winner of the auction. happychad.medium.com explains how we did everything
Happy: Some of the NFTs I'm creating are actually stuff I've made .
This is a little view of our living room there's hundreds maybe thousand more designs that I've made that no one's ever seen before because I've never tried to sell my stuffs
Wow that is class very so do you make models before you make NFT or other way round
Happy: I've made all this stuff prior to ever NFTs . I just bought the iPad just under a month ago
So are tattoo artist by trade ?
Happy: No I'm not a tattoo artist I've dabbled a little bit when I was a kid 🤣🤣🤣 I'm a creator and maker by trade
Cool so would I know anything you have created
Happy: Have you ever heard of LMFAO
Of course party rockers in the house tonight
Happy: Yup 😅😅😅 Actually when I bought a airbrush in Dublin is because I was on tour with LMFAO at the time One of my cases didn't make it to the set so I had to buy an airbrush pump in Dublin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where you guys from ?
Happy: I'm born and raised Southern California and Jeff from Boston but lives in Southern California with us now

So you must be best of friends ?
Definitely family . Definitely shit you want to hide from family members 🤣🤣🤣🤘🏼🤣
That's the best part !!!!!!!!
So are yous invested in crypto currency ?
Jeff Donahue: Heavily
Really what's the biggest coin you have ?
Jeff Donahue: TLM alienworld is my largest holding . It changed my life
Really and do you own any land
Jeff Donahue: Yes sir. I joined about 2.5 months ago I have been on the wax blockchain since Atari , Deadmau, and Uplift Art were really the only decent projects . So as new drops came out I always purchased . Alien Worlds I missed some how I played a different strategy Bought a land pack after reading the white paper . Used 40% of all NFT sales on atomichub to buy TLM on alcor.exchange
Where is the land ?
Planet Naron 28:11 Also running for planetary council https://council.alienworlds.io/planet/naron My hash is broken for the image need to fix it
And if people mine on your land can they earn your NFT's ?
Jeff Donahue: we are about to launch awbutler I'm friends with Michael from EOSUSA http://aw.eosusa.io/awbutler/
I seen a lot of artist now promoting NFT's on there land
Happy: I personally don't do anything in crypto outside of NFTs creations
So how many NFT's have yous created so far and how many would you like to create ?
Jeff Donahue: I think we are at 12 we are limiting the drop times to seven days hopefully the scarcity will drive value later on if the project takes off
Happy: I don't see a future of me stopping
Really so do you think you stick to a theme or would each collection be different
Jeff Donahue: each collection will be different definitely
Happy: There might be similarities and some of my creations but I'm constantly putting out different styles if you see the ones that we have out so far they don't really blend together
Jeff Donahue: each schema is different
the ladies
the one
the pizzas
Happy: I don't have a set style
How long does it tale from thought to finished NFT ?
Happy: Well I'm still learning the iPad and procreate so everything out there is taking me at least one day to create and that's a full day staring at the iPad
The bull took me a couple days just to draw it out properly
The slimmer character I'm working on has been two days now... Still trying to make it animated
So what programs you using for creating ?
Happy: Procreate is the only one I'm using . I asked a couple of my graphic artists buddies what's the best one to use that's easiest they all told me to use this and that's what I've been sticking with
Cool
Happy: I've never wanted to own anything digital but this has been a great intro into it and I'm actually loving creating on it:
So are you just a creator or do you collect
Happy: Its Jeff's a collector I'm just a creator I'm just getting introduced into this world Jeff has been a part of this world
Jeff Donahue:

I know my creations aren't for everybody.. but hopefully certain pieces will be amazing for others and other pieces will be great for other people 🎉🎉🎉
This is the 420 special I just made for tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉 I do love this community feels alil like burning Man Everybody supporting artists is awesome to see
Jeff Donahue: Yes I believe so I want to establish on wax because I am an early supporter ETH NFts are not for the average consumer WAX makes blockchain access easy collectibles are cheaper . DO we want to make a ton of money? Sure. But not at the cost of access by our fans
Have you looked at https://juungle.net ?
Jeff Donahue: I'd be open to working on different chains different releases same style
What advice do you have for people trying to get into nft ?
Jeff Donahue: be nice to people support your own every one of us is starting from scratch and paving a way that was not been paved before.
There is enough to go around and if we lift each other up and can all thrive!
What hobbies do you ? What you do for fun ?
Jeff Donahue: Geek tech crypto gaming I'm studying dapp development with javascript and solidity so my hobbies are revenue streams and learning new tech I also collect actual sports cards
What kind of cards ?
