**What is your familiarity with Nouns? (~ a few sentences).**

- We're all building with Nouns for at least 6 months in a daily basis.

**What are you currently working on? (~ a few sentences)**
*Share anything of note that you are currently working on. This can be your full-time role at a startup, a side project, a newsletter, a non-profit – whatever is productively taking up your time.*

- Since [@TheHeroShep](https://twitter.com/TheHeroShep), [@HonkDiddly](https://twitter.com/honkdiddly) and team launched the [Nouns AI Playground](https://playground.nounsai.wtf/), we have spend a lot of time daily creating art and exploring the tool. That's why we decided to join forces in a art collective, so we can learn together and proliferate the technology.

*All three 3D Nouns above were generated on Nouns AI Playground*

**What are the three projects you’re most proud of working on? (~ a paragraph)**
*Again, these projects can span many different domains. We’re most interested in (current or past) projects you’ve worked on that you’re most proud of. Please describe the projects and your role in as much detail as you see fit.*

[JP](https://twitter.com/eusou_jp) - JP sticks ⌐◨-◨ around and post the [videos](https://tiktok.com/@encontreoadesivo) on TikTok. The project has more than 15k followers and 2M views.

[JPAX](https://twitter.com/jotapepax) - JPAX made [Nouns Week](https://nounsweek.wtf/porto-alegre/) happen in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Together with his team, he nounified a whole city proliferating the ⌐◨-◨.

[Leo Clark](https://twitter.com/leoclark) - Leo spoke at [NFT.Rio](http://nftr.io/) - the first time Nouns DAO was represented in Brazil. After the event, many people joined the community.

**Which NounsDAO-funded project do you find most exciting and why? (~ a paragraph)**
*You can see them all on Prop House or Nouns.wtf.*

[Gnars DAO](https://twitter.com/gnars_dao) and [NNS](https://twitter.com/nnsprotocol) (Nouns Name Service). If Web3 is about community, Gnars are the ones doing it right. The power of subculture is huge and they're taking this to extreme levels. Very solid project. Community is also about identity and NNS is the one for it. If the Nouniverse will succeed (and it will) everyone will have an NNS just like we have ENS today.

**Explorer Grants is designed to give you two paid months to explore and create in the Nouns ecosystem. What would you like to explore and build in your two months? (~ a paragraph)** *Describe in as much detail as possible. It’s alright if you don’t know what you want to build exactly yet!*

We're early adopters of Nouns AI Playground and one of us was a finalist on the first contest. We're already exploring it everyday, colaborating with the team giving feedbacks and translating the platform and inviting people to try it out, especially inside the Brazilian community. If funded, we'll be able to do a lot more and work for two months on the following:

**1)** educating people on how to get the best of Nouns AI Playground;

. We'll create content on social media sharing the hottest prompts, best negative terms, key words and many other tips to write a good prompt. We'll also create material for those with no or almost no previous knowledge on AI.

**2)** sharing our experiences;

. We'll either work closely to the team giving feedbacks and suggestions and also sharing our creations and experiences with the community.

**3)** delivering a nounish cc0 stock footage archive 100% AI generated;

. At the end of the two months, we'll categorize all arts that we created during the period on a website so anyone can use to create graphics for their projects.

Our goal is to accelerate the adoption process of the **Nouns AI Playground** by the community. That's how the DAO will benefit the most.
