Well, hello all you cool cats and kittens. This is Overpriced JPEG. I'm Carly Riley. And on today's episode of the show, we have Clon, the artist behind Cool Cats. And I did, in fact, ask Clon whether or not Carol Baskin, the famous real-life character from Tiger King, who is famous for saying, hello, all you cool cats and kittens. if she was in any way the inspiration for the name Cool Cats. And he answers me.

So listen to this episode to find out. Clown and I talked about a whole bunch of stuff. It was so great to get to know essentially the artist behind this massive phenomenon. We talked about how Clon got started in NFTs, how he came up with the idea for Cool Cats, how he prepared for launching this. If you are an artist, if you are somebody who's been interested in launching your own NFT collection, I think you absolutely should listen to this episode and learn from how Klon did it. We also talked about what NFTs he's been buying these days.

And he shares what a day in his life looks like now that he's a very successful NFT artist.
