Jean-Michel Basquiat's graffiti in Lower Manhattan was mistaken for a CIA operation. He was the toast of the New York art world while sleeping on floors in squalid apartments. He sold his first painting to Blondie's Debbie Harry for $200. Less than a year later, his paintings were going for more than $20,000. And decades later, the debate over what is and what is not a real Basquiat rages on. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including a depiction of police brutality. This episode was originally published on April 25, 2024. Basquiat excelled at both visual art and music. What other musicians excelled in a second skill, art form, or sport?

On August 12, 1988, Jean-Michel Basquiat—the visionary painter whose explosive talent redefined the possibilities of contemporary art—died of a heroin overdose in his New York City studio at the age of 27. Basquiat's meteoric rise from a graffiti tagger in the Lower East Side to a global art-world phenomenon was nothing short of revolutionary. Widely hailed as the greatest contemporary artist of his generation, Basquiat's canvases pulsed with urgency, intellect, and emotion—breaking down barriers of race, class, and tradition in the art establishment. His untimely death cemented his legend, leaving behind a body of work that continues to challenge, inspire, and command reverence, a lasting reminder of genius gone far too soon.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the show. So, today's episode is something a bit different, a bit more laid-back, recorded right here from my home studio – finally got that new microphone set up, sounding better, right?I had this idea... you know how our digital lives accumulate clutter? Well, I decided to tackle my Reddit account. I've been on Reddit for years, subscribed to so many subreddits, and honestly, I don't even know what half of them are anymore or why I joined them.So, in this episode, I'm doing it live: scrolling through my massive list of Reddit communities, deciding what stays and what goes. But it's more than just unsubscribing; it's a real-time reflection. Each subreddit is like a little snapshot of a past interest, a previous version of myself. We're talking everything from 3D modeling and specific artists like Basquiat, to comedy legends like Alan Partridge, travel spots like Bali, deep dives with Anthony Bourdain, tech stuff like Binance, even some weird corners like 'Accidental Renaissance' photos and 'Birth of a Fetish' (yeah, really).It's a journey through old hobbies, past curiosities, and a look at how interests evolve. Think of it as a digital decluttering session mixed with a personal archaeology dig. Maybe it'll inspire you to look at your own online subscriptions, or maybe you'll just enjoy listening to me ramble and rediscover parts of my digital history. It's long-form, it's unscripted, it's just me and my Reddit feed. Let me know if you find any gems in here you recognize!Chapter Marks:(00:00) Intro: Back Home & Better Sound (New Mic!)(00:33) Today's Plan: Pruning My Reddit Subscriptions(01:09) The Importance of Audio & Why I Upgraded(03:00) Diving In: The Reddit Pruning Begins(09:03) Subreddit: 3D Modeling (Keeping)(10:44) Subreddit: 80 Level (Keeping)(11:14) Subreddit: Accidental Renaissance (Keeping, with story)(13:16) Subreddit: Alan Partridge (Keeping)(14:30) Subreddit: All That Is Interesting (Unsubscribing)(15:20) Subreddit: AMA (Ask Me Anything) (Unsubscribing)(16:15) Subreddit: Angry Upvote (Keeping)(17:00) Subreddit: Answers (Unsubscribing)(17:31) Subreddit: Anthony Bourdain (Keeping)(19:02) Subreddit: Apollo App (Unsubscribing)(19:09) Subreddit: Aquariums (Keeping)(20:35) Subreddit: Art (Unsubscribing)(21:06) Subreddit: Ask Reddit (Keeping)(22:18) Subreddit: Ask Reddit After Dark (Keeping)(22:29) Subreddit: Asshole Design (Unsubscribing)(23:39) Subreddit: Bali (Keeping)(24:25) Subreddit: Basquiat Art (Unsubscribing)(25:20) Subreddit: Battle Stations (Unsubscribing)(26:21) Subreddit: Be Amazed (Unsubscribing)(26:58) Subreddit: Beat Me To It (Keeping)(27:53) Subreddit: Berlin (Keeping)(28:22) Subreddit: Berlinner Memes / Berlin Picks / Berlin Social Club (Decisions)(29:10) Subreddit: Best Of (Unsubscribing)(29:38) Subreddit: Better Every Loop (Keeping)(30:14) Subreddit: Binance (Unsubscribing)(30:24) Subreddit: Birth of a Fetish (Unsubscribing)(30:57) Wrapping Up Part 1 & Final Thoughts on the Process
From Jan 2024. Dive into the provocative world of artistic "theft" as Ty and Nathan explore how creative innovation truly emerges from our influences. This conversation challenges the myth of pure originality, arguing instead that the greatest artists throughout history have been masterful collectors and transformers of ideas.Beginning with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's transformative quote—"Start copying what you love... at the end of the copy you will find yourself"—the duo examines how creative development flourishes through strategic borrowing. From Quentin Tarantino's open acknowledgment of film references to David Bowie's musical influences, the most distinctive voices often emerge from those who've absorbed the most diverse inspirations.They unpack wisdom from creative legends including Jim Jarmusch, Paul Schrader, and Jean-Luc Godard, who all emphasize that true originality lies not in where you take ideas from, but where you take them to. Art movements throughout history—from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism—evolved through artists stealing ideas from each other while working side by side, proving that innovation rarely emerges in isolation.What distinguishes mere imitation from transformative theft? When does copying become finding your voice? The conversation offers practical advice for artists at every stage: diversify your influences, document what moves you and why, maintain an "omnivorous" approach to inspiration, and create systems to capture ideas when they strike. Ultimately, the episode makes a compelling case that the most authentic artistic expression comes not from avoiding influence, but from embracing it wholeheartedly.Follow us on Instagram @ty_nathan_clark and @nathanturborg to continue exploring how creative influences shape artistic development.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Durante a segunda metade do século XX, Paris serviu primeiro de escola de arte e depois como cidade agregadora do pensamento africano, com os maiores vultos culturais senegaleses, americanos, cubanos ou angolanos a passarem pela Cidade da Luz. A exposição "Paris Noir", no Centro Pompidou, conta este período e quer projectar estes artistas pioneiros no futuro. No pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial, numa altura os movimentos das independências estavam em pleno andamento em África, muitos pintores, escultores, mas também filósofos, escritores, poetas e pedagogos africanos ou vindos das Américas instalam-se a Paris, participando nas grandes correntes artísticas como o surrealismo ou o abstracionismo a partir dos anos 40. No entanto, esta passagem não tinha qualquer reflexo nas retrospectivas organizadas até hoje no Centro Pompidou, um museu parisiense dedicado à arte contemporânea.Esta reflexão, levou os curadores do museu a idealizarem a exposição "Paris Noir", aproveitando a ocasião para mostrar 40 obras adquiridas nos últimos anos pelo fundo dedicado ao continente africano no seio desta instituição francesa. Em entrevista à RFI, Eva Barois de Caevel, comissária associada desta exposição, explicou que a palavra noir, ou preto, vai muito para além da definição de uma raça ou de uma geografia, mas que a exposição agrega diferentes artistas que devido às suas origens foram vítimas de racismo ou subvalorizados no mundo da arte."Nesta exposição temos também, por exemplos afro-colombianos e afro-brasileiros, assim como cubanos ou dominicanos. É muito importante porque esta não é uma exposição sobre geografia ou raça. É uma exposição que trata de uma experiência comum compartilhada e estes artistas fazem parte da História. Para encontrarmos estes artistas, muitas vezes é levada a cabo uma investigação aprofundada sobre cada um e, a partir de um, descobrimos um outro e um militante pela resistência, muitas vezes leva-nos a outro militante. E descobrir estes artistas e fazê-los descobrir ao público foi o nosso mote e posso mesmo dizer que descobrimos muitos mais, mas não conseguimos mostrar todos. Às vezes o público até pode achar estranho já que a nível geográfica não ficamos só em África, mas não tem só a ver com ser negro e africano. Por exemplo, estamos a expor aqui um artista indiano, Krishna Reddy, que viveu em Paris vários anos e estava na cidade durante o Maio de 68 e foi vítima de racismo porque era constantemente confundido com um argelino. E as suas obras reflectem isso. E, assim, claro que nesta exposição não nos cingimos só a artistas de países francófonos, mas temos também lusófonos e artista vindos de outras regiões", explicouA história desta exposição começa a ser contada em 1947 quando é fundada a editora Presença Africana, pelo senegalês Alioune Diop, com a consciência negra a sedimentar-se à volta de pensadores como Leópold Sédar Senghor com a participação de Aimé Césaire, político, poeta e escritor da Martinica, e da sua mulher, Suzanne, a participarem na revista Tropiques. Juntam-se a esta efervescência artistas afro-americanos como o escritor James Baldwin ou o pintor Beauford Delaney.É neste clima que se realiza o primeiro congresso de artistas e escritores negros na Sorbonne em 1956. Ao mesmo tempo, Sarah Maldoror, uma jovem francesa com origens na Guadalupe, cria em Paris a primeira companhia de teatro para negros depois de constatar, ainda como actriz, que só lhe davam papéis de empregada de quarto tanto no teatro como no cinema. Foi exactamente no círculo da editora Presença Africana que Sarah Maldoror conheceu Mario de Andrade, escritor e fundador do Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola, que viria a ser seu marido.Este encontro levou-a a interessar-se pelos diferentes movimentos de libertação nos países lusófonos em África, com Maldoror a realizar algumas das obras cinematográficas mais emblemáticas destes movimentos como Armas para Banta, rodado em 1970 na Guiné-Bissau, ou SAMBIZANGA, rodado em Angola em 1973."A escolha de Sarah Maldoror era óbvia para nós desde o início para figurar nesta exposição. Por um lado, porque Maldoror é uma artista fascinante, mas também por causa de um aspecto realmente importante que é o facto de a história de muitos dos artistas nesta exposição nunca ter sido registada ou cuidada pelas instituições francesas. Foi sim, cuidada pelos próprios artistas ou por pensadores contemporâneos. Sarah Maldoror é uma figura extremamente importante nesse aspecto. Trabalhámos com a sua filha, Anouchka de Andrade e foi a Anouchka quem nos emprestou algumas das obras da exposição. Teremos uma mostra de cinema com os filmes de Sarah Maldoror em Abril e ao longo da exposição vamos mostrando aqui trechos dos seus filmes . Ela tem não só esta faceta de coleccionadora, mas de documentarista e queremos homenageá-la. Conseguimos restaurar os seus filmes e estamos muito interessados em continuar a estudar os seus interesses e como eles entraram no seu cinema. E, claro, o seu compromisso militante , que acho que também será celebrado durante a retrospectiva, com muitos testemunhos, muitos convidados, entre eles artistas. Será um grande evento dentro desta exposição", disse Eva Barois de Caevel.Entre algumas das obras dos fundos de Sarah Maldoror apresentadas nesta exposição, estão dois quadros do pintor angolano Vítor Manuel Teixeira, conhecido como Viteix, que se instalou em Paris em 1973. Viteix vai voltar a Angola em 1976 tentando através da sua arte criar uma união nacional e concluindo alguns anos mais tarde uma tese de doutoramento na Sorbonne sobre este tema.A exposição estende-se até aos anos 2000, com muitos artistas e combates a passarem por Paris como testemunham as obras de Victor Anicet, Basquiat ou o dominicano José Castillo. Mas esta é, sobretudo, uma exposição virada para o futuro, sendo a última a ser apresentada neste museu parisiense antes de grandes obras de reabilitação que deverão durar até 2030. Nesse momento, o desejo de Eva Barois de Caevel é que o Centro Pompidou reabra as suas portas com uma nova visão da cultura e intervenção social."Esta é realmente uma exposição que para nós é um ponto de partida, como uma grande cartografia que serve de primeiro marco e que a partir de 2030 se vai desdobrar em propostas temáticas para o museu. Há muitos assuntos que podemos retirar daqui desde o militantismo, à questão da Argélia ou à questão da tricontinentalidade, todos esses são assuntos que precisam ser abordados em sua totalidade", concluiu a comissária associada.
With THE MAN NOBODY KILLED: Life, Death, and Art In Michael Stewart's New York (Celadon Books), author Elon Green brings us an investigation into a terrible episode of police brutality and its aftermath in mid-'80s NYC. We talk about what drew him to the story of Michael Stewart, a 25-year-old black artist-model-DJ who died at the hands of transit police in 1983, his amazement that no one else had written this book, and how his early assumptions about a coverup gave way to a different coverup. We get into how he so wonderfully evokes the gritty NYC of that era, spreading out a canvas that takes in the arts scene — think Haring, Basquiat, Madonna — and the awful crimes and police behavior — think Bumpurs, Goetz — of that era. We discuss the art of interviewing people 40+ years after an event without reopening old wounds, the judge on the case who talked with him for 3 hours and shared how his conclusions on the verdict changed, what he sees in Stewart's art, how he tries to build the entire environment of the world he's writing about in his books, why he considers himself a history writer (& despises the "true crime" label & genre), why being a good journalist means having a sense of decency, bringing his first book to life as an HBO series, and more.

Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, I spent my youth there before migrating to Pennsylvania in 2000. It was in the vibrant artistic environment of Philadelphia that I found inspiration in street art and historical murals. My art journey began during my time at Springfield High School, where I explored multiple mediums and discovered the joy of creating through various projects. After a brief hiatus, I rediscovered my love for art in 2008, particularly using oil-based medium, which reignited my creative energy. Each body of my work draws inspiration from both history and everyday experiences, crafted to evoke subjective interpretations in the viewer. I firmly believe that art is universal and shaped by each individual's life journey. As an introspective figurative artist, I incorporate natural motifs and floral fabric patterns to express communication and determination in the figures' pursuit of a better life. Each stroke of paint exudes boldness, confidence, and strength, aiming to inspire those who encounter my art. I draw inspiration from a multitude of artists, including Dali, Kevin Williams, Charly Palmer, David Hockney, Basquiat, and Amy Sherald, while also embracing techniques from different eras, like gold leaf and textures. Since moving to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2018, I have become actively engaged in the local art community, showcasing my work in various galleries, such as Mint Gallery and Future Dead Artist Gallery. Notably, in 2022, I was featured in an Exhibition sponsored by Amazon Prime during Art Basel Miami. My ultimate goal is to touch hearts and minds with my art, leaving a lasting positive impression on fellow art enthusiasts and inspiring others to express their own passion and creativity.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 12, 2025 is: hagiography hag-ee-AH-gruh-fee noun Hagiography is biography that idealizes or idolizes a person and their life. // The book gives a good idea of his virtues without resorting to hagiography. See the entry > Examples: "The sisters' show can sometimes feel like hagiography; there is little discussion of Basquiat's demons or the aspects of his home life that may have been difficult." — Robin Pogrebin, The New York Times, 9 Apr. 2022 Did you know? The second part of hagiography is familiar: the combining form -graphy, which comes from the Greek verb graphein, meaning "to write," is found in biography and calligraphy (among many others) too. Hagio-, however, is more unusual; it comes from a Greek word that meant "holy, sacred" in Ancient Greek and more recently "saintly," by way of the term Hagiographa, another name for the Ketuvim, the third part of the Jewish Scriptures. English's hagiography can refer to biography of actual saints, but it is more typically applied to biography that treats ordinary human subjects as if they were saints.

With almost 400 thousand followers her no holds-barred, straight from the heart and to the point commentary about the buildings she loves and loves to hate, brings a user experience point of view and accessible critique into the mainstream.We'll get to all of that in a moment but first though, a few thoughts… * * *The great thing about doing this podcast is it gives me an opportunity to rethink some of the assertions that have held to be true and cross check whether in fact they are immutable or whether there is room for challenging myself and maybe digging into some subtleties and nuances… and seeing things a different way.Like for example the idea of criticism – who does it and its value…I have to admit I haven't been particularly fond of the idea of critics for a very long time. This would be generally true of the kind who dole out the negative kind of commentary.Years ago when commenting on something, I think it was some art piece, and my son said to me “…dad why is it that you never really say you hate anything…”which I sort of thought was kind of funny then. I think I responded “…well because I don't really hate anything… I try to always view things from the other side - a different point of view. I try to get beyond the visceral reaction and look to design principles and comment from a place of applying principles to the work and see how they line up…and then make a comment that is based yes on whether I simply like it, the colors, shapes, energy, feeling , may be a message it is trying to impart AND whether I can see the value in it based on principles determined to be generally accepted by experts in the domain…” so yeah I don't really hate things…If I apply the idea of casting judgement on art, music, architecture… it got me thinking… again…What is the value of judgement? Is it to determine the appropriateness of something to a particular context or challenge?I have my favorite architects and artists and musical performers, I like different styles and periods. But I don't listen to heavy metal (though my sons love it). I don't know that I can say that I hate it. Perhaps I just don't understand it and maybe if I did, it still wouldn't jibe with me.It just doesn't go in my body well. It's a sensory mismatch.I don't hate it – It makes me agitated. So, I just don't listen to it. And I guess you could say the same thing for certain genres of art.For example… I'm not particularly crazy about a lot of contemporary art.I have a hard time understanding a performance artist dipping her hair in paint and swinging aloft from a rope while her hair drags across a canvas and the painting while on lookers wrapped in dimly lit light bulbs stand slightly by selling for millions of dollars… it isn't something I quite get. And I know that authorized replicas of the Marcel Duchamp sculpture called the “Fountain” - which is a urinal - sell for somewhere between 3 and $4 million each and here's the kicker... apparently because the original has been lost the financial the value of the original piece is unknown and might be considered as being priceless. I don't know… it sort of leaves me just trying too hard... knowing I'm falling profoundly short of ascending to the intellectualized rarefied air that somehow makes this sort of thing makes sense. And I also suspect that if I'm voicing these concerns or questions that I am likely to get a lot of people commenting that my remarks point out my ignorance, that I just don't understand and I would …well…agree with them.I'm ok with that. Really.And I think I'm not alone in this category of not understanding contemporary art and the extraordinary prices that contemporary art paintings fetch at auctions and then again maybe if I did, I still wouldn't spend $25 million on a Rothko painting.The thing about critics, I think, is that we entrust these individuals with being in the know, of having deep insight, knowledge or experience into the making of the art. That these are people who understand its value and relevancy to culture and somehow able to unfold the deep meaning in the work whatever format the creativity comes in and to bestow upon us their opinion as if it is fact.The challenge of course is that I think there may be an ignorance in the public and that the deeper inner meaning of things is somehow held in reserve for the creators of the work or select few who follow it.But I've always had a challenge with the idea that the critic seems to have the extraordinary power to completely destroy the creative work as well as raise it to high levels of adulation and praise.I think that in some ways we have come to trust to the critic as certainly knowing more than we do and therefore what they say about a particular piece of art or architecture should be taken as truth and the presumed value of the creation lies in whether their commentary is positive or negative.How many people have not gone to see a movie because it only got 2 stars… and who said it should only have two stars?Maybe I would have found the comedy hilarious… but not the critic.I often don't even check reviews by the masses on restaurant or hotel booking sites and if I do read the reviews, I do it very carefully. I look to see what it was that these people did or didn't like. What it was that made their experience a must see or a definite red tomato. Personally, I dig to see if there is anything at a lower level that suggests what was driving the positive or negative review? What it was in this message that this particular critic is trying to convey?I've often thought that to be able to criticize art or other forms of creative invention you'd have to understand what it was the maker was intending to convey.You'd have to understand the basic ideas, for example, of composition to be able to determine whether a Jackson Pollock or a Kandinsky or a Basquiat was worth all the fuss and on what basis you were making the comments about the work.I guess it's not all critics that I have a problem with but maybe more those who simply present negative opinions. And it's not like I should even care that critic X didn't like thing Y. It was their opinion. Okay so they have an opinion. The challenge is the uninformed may come to accept the opinion as fact and turn away from somethings simply because some one says its not good.I guess the role of the professional critic is to study and assess the value of a creative work and pass judgment on the product based on facts and logical assertions. This is kind of like knowing a bit about composition before offering an opinion the write something off.It seems to me that the idea of a critic is to connect ideas, arrive at reasonable conclusions and perhaps open avenues for discussing new directions and fostering an awareness of ideas and cultural trends.It also seems to me that the role of the critic is to challenge our general assumptions about things to get us to look more deeply at our assertions and to get us to not simply accept things at face value but to continue to search for excellence, challenge the status quo, in all of the things that we bring into the world so that we don't fill it with the mundane or banal.There's something about the critic as ‘educator' - increasing our collective level of understanding of things, pointing out where things might likely be improved and offering positive commentary on what might be a series of next steps in order to develop the output and make it better - that I align with.And I know that the idea of making it ‘better' is full of all manner of subtext and necessity to consider contextual considerations… ‘better' for whom, for what and why?And maybe this is where I mostly land on the idea of the value of the critique is that of using constructive criticism for the value of enhancing people's understanding of a particular subject or giving the creator tools to go back to the drawing board, so to speak, and make it better.Jazz master saxophonist David Liebman wrote a concise piece on his website called “The Critic Dilemma: Criticism vs. Review”. He describes many of the same ideas about who's making he comments, are they objective facts or subjective opinions, and why should we trust one critic's opinion over another? Liebman differentiates between critique and a review:“…When the writer's opinion and taste is the focal point, this constitutes a critique. On the other hand, a review should be the dissemination of information with the desired intention being elucidation. The idea is that with this information, the listener is equipped to form his own opinion…”.And this is where this episode's guest Louisa Whitmore begins to fit into the story.When Louisa was 16 years old she began to share architecture commentary on Tik Tok. She blew up the social media sphere with posts that were personal and occasionally pointed. She came at her critiques of buildings not from the expert or architectural practioner point of view but from that of the user, the general public mindset.She didn't profess to be a building expert, to have deep knowledge in construction but rather to simply be part of the general public who experienced the built environment every day but who had little to nothing to do with how buildings got there in the first place.Her negative commentary on 432 Park Avenue - the luxury condo building designed by Rafael Viñoly and SLCE Architects – lit up the digisphere with 100s of thousands of followers lining up behind her to voice their impressions of this building. Most of them not very good I might add. Which was actually ok since there was a ton of press – not particularly good I might add – about problems with the building. Now, Louisa didn't know about these issues about the engineering, the building swaying (which would be natural by the way) and other problems but felt vindicated nevertheless with the press that effectively substantiated her intuitive feelings about this super-tall condo on the Central Park's edge.I see her posts more like David Leibman's construct of the ‘Review' – “…that with this information, the listener is equipped to form his own opinion…”.And opinions her followers had. 1000's of them.In the spirit of “…the dissemination of information with the desired intention being elucidation…” Whitmore turned her attention to projects thatfocused on Biophilia and how buildings with ample integration of plants seemed to simply feel better. Her noteriaty on Tik Tok, articulate whit, intuition and ability to articulate the ‘person on the street's' perception of the built environment, landed her the role as host of “the cable television documentary series “The Nature of Design”.Over the course of a number of episodes Whitmore tours properties talking about biophilic principles and with the support of a variety of experts ranging from architects to neuroscientists she dives into the science of how buildings with a biophilic approach effect our well-being…Whitmore is called a teenage architecture critic. While her rise on social media platforms may have been based on the building she loved to hate, it seems that she is using her notoriety to review and elucidate….

Last month, I challenged 11,000 people to classify fifty pictures as either human art or AI-generated images. I originally planned five human and five AI pictures in each of four styles: Renaissance, 19th Century, Abstract/Modern, and Digital, for a total of forty. After receiving many exceptionally good submissions from local AI artists, I fudged a little and made it fifty. The final set included paintings by Domenichino, Gauguin, Basquiat, and others, plus a host of digital artists and AI hobbyists. One of these two pretty hillsides is by one of history's greatest artists. The other is soulless AI slop. Can you tell which is which? If you want to try the test yourself before seeing the answers, go here. The form doesn't grade you, so before you press "submit" you should check your answers against this key. Last chance to take the test before seeing the results, which are: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/how-did-you-do-on-the-ai-art-turing

With his new graphic novel, NAKED CITY (Dark Horse Books), artist/activist Eric Drooker finishes the New York trilogy begun in Flood! and Blood Song. We talk about how Naked City started with the image of a beleaguered squeegee-man and wound up a love letter to New York and especially Tompkins Square Park, the challenges of using word/thought balloons and captions after making wordless comics for so long, and the importance of staying handmade in the digital era. We get into his upbringing in Stuy Town and the Lower East Side/Loisaida, why we were recording in an apartment above the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, how New York changed during his life, why he semi sorta escaped from the city, what it's like being a quality-of-life criminal, and the time he made his start with stencil-graffiti only to get over-tagged by Basquiat. We also discuss his artistic & political awakenings, the Tompkins Square Park riot and police militarization, his ambivalence about street art going into the gallery, the importance of on-the-ground activism (MOAR STREET POSTERS), the surveillance panopticon, and more.

On today's episode, we explore characters in film who are consumed by the pursuit of greatness at any cost. We delve into modern hits such as Whiplash, Black Swan, and The Prestige, while also revisiting classics like Sunset Boulevard, Amadeus, and Basquiat. Our discussion centers on Hollywood's fascination with extreme ambition, the toll it takes on these characters' personal lives and mental health, and how these stories shape the public's view of the "tortured genius." We also compare fictional narratives like Sleight with the portrayal of real-life figures in films like I, Tonya. To wrap up, we tackle the concept of legacy in a digital world. Is the constant, ever-changing news cycle undermining the idea of lasting greatness? With every new viral trend and Hawk Tuah Girl, how long do we truly celebrate exceptional achievements before shifting our focus elsewhere?

In this electrifying episode, Dave finally got the chance to sit down with the elusive and incredibly talented graffiti artist, Wes Hinds. Wes has been a significant figure in the local art scene, known for his vibrant and thought-provoking graffiti art. Our conversation kicked off with a deep dive into Wes's artistic journey, beginning with his early influences from his grandmother and mother, both of whom nurtured his creative spirit from a young age. Wes shared his experiences growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, where he first picked up a can of spray paint at the age of 13. His rebellious streak led him to discover graffiti, and he was inspired by iconic artists like Basquiat and Keith Haring. We reminisced about his school days, where his talent was both a source of trouble and admiration, and how his ninth-grade art teacher played a pivotal role in encouraging his artistic pursuits. We explored the evolution of graffiti art, discussing the advancements in tools and techniques over the years. Wes highlighted the significance of using spray paint and the various nozzles that allow for different effects, emphasizing how these innovations have transformed the art form. He also recounted his first large-scale pieces and the challenges and triumphs of working on such expansive canvases. A particularly touching part of our conversation was Wes's tribute to his grandparents, who played a crucial role in shaping his character and artistic style. He spoke about how their influence and support have been a constant source of inspiration throughout his life. Wes's journey has not been without its challenges, but his determination and passion for art have kept him moving forward. He expressed his aspirations to take his art to larger cities like Miami, New York, and Chicago, aiming to leave a mark on the global art scene while still maintaining strong ties to his roots in Memphis. Wes's unique style and vibrant colors have made a significant impact on the local community, and his work continues to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts.
