OFF THE WALL GRAFFITI - IMMERSED IN ART

AMY M&M

How do we lean in to what we are already always doing and call it who we are? Amy figures it out, everyday, over and over. Listen up to hear how she learns mastery and submits to being mentored and mentoring others.

SEPT TOT

Once you hear the calling - you have to make way for your art. Listen to how Sept learned to take risks, in spite of being told no, he made THIS or THAT would have happened.

 

Also - I got it wrong, Saul Bass did not design the CBS logo - Lou Dorfsman did. And, Otis is a very fine school. That is true.

SHAQ SFS

Growing up as a dutiful son, a good student and eager to please - it creates quite the rebellion. Shaq learns many lessons, including "let mom win" and how misbehavior can help you find your true north. Listen to his hard earned story from school.

MAX TOT

Life can get pretty hairy when you aren't making art, however, the road, if you're lucky, returns to creating. Max had his own journey with I'll make THIS, or THAT happens. Listen up!

PUNY SFTS

This girl was straight up a little shit as a teenager! Listen up, you'll hear how she evolves out of it but for real, I think she is gonna be a tougher mom than she grew up with...while she was climbing out of her window and climbing into a fucking car at age 14! PEOPLE what the what?!!!

BRIAN & JENNA M&M

A poet who has gotten to a place where he is able to reliably deliver and understands the creative process like a boss talks with an artist who is in the beginning of her career while also being a bit of a master.

XUY THIS OR THAT

A little story about what happens when your creative road comes to the proverbial - Get A Job end and how to get around that and how to pull up your family members along the way!

DESTINY - SFS

This little pixy of an artist did get into Rhode Island School of Design - the same school that Seth McFarland and Shepard Fairey attended. Listen up to hear how she was valedictorian of Reseda High School as a transfer student senior year. She went to atleast five schools during her K-12 AND was homeschooled at Walmart! Listen up! 

JOUX SFTS

FROM EURO TRAINS TO VAN NUYS This international muralist ran hard in Europe during his formative years on trains and in ancient ruins. How did he get caught and how did he not?  

JP SFTS

Pacoima Projects to Tacoma Beautiful. This story has prompted a play which is being written about the world of graffiti because it is so powerful. West Side Story from the Deep North of the Valley. A birthday to remember.
