Seven-year old Empress Trash lived a chaotic life in Massachusetts. She was isolated from her peers and experienced a lot of abuse.

She loved reading, making art, and studying history, and that helped her mentally escape her environment when she needed to.

Today, she was able to learn from her experiences and grow from them to become a brilliant and versatile artist.

We had a truly great time talking about her favorite childhood books, her love of animals, and her experience at art school.

We also discussed the impact trauma had on her life, her passion for drawing, her emancipation from her mother, her Damsels project, and more.

When he was seven years old, Robness loved watching MTV, listening to Nirvana and Billy Idol, and naturally, wanted to become a rock star.

Today, he is a visual artist and the godfather of Trash Art.

So yes, in a way, he did become a rock star.

We had a truly great time talking about how music inspires his work, his Vaporwave movie script (yep, he wrote one), the lessons he learned from his days in Rare Pepe, and why he uses all caps everywhere.

We also discussed how we’re both undercover introverts, Robness’ high school days, the spiritual energy in his work, and more.

When he was ten years old, Randy Ortiz, aka WG, was a feverish Bruce Lee fan and loved everything kung-fu.

His Bruce Lee passion even led him to taking up taekwondo as a child.

Today, he is a crypto artist and part of the NFT collective When Giants Meet.

We had a truly amazing time talking about what it’s like to be an independent crypto artist, how he juggles being an NFT artist, working full-time, and being a family man, and how he got involved in art.

When she was six years old, Yeli moved from the island of Puerto Rico to the United States.

Back then, her goals were clear: She wanted to learn English, figure out who she was –pretty deep territory for a six years old–, and understand her new environment.

Today, she is a digital artist at Playform.

We had a truly great time talking about her favorite books, her work in the NFT world, her latest digital art series, and her investment in the Bored Apes.

We also discussed her photography, trash art, and the metaverse.
