Chris sits down on the waters edge of Downtown St. Pete with street artist Birdcap! The two enjoy conversing about their shared participation in Reggae Rise Up, Birdcap's history and love for street art and illustration, what inspires and fuels his creative expressions, exploring alternative creative mediums, the mural market, his shared journey of navigating grief and the ongoing development of AI and his response to it.



About the Artist:

“I paint colorful murals reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons as a proxy world to explore wide ranging themes such as grief, mortality, and political upheaval. I believe a style wrapped in childhood nostalgia makes these topics more palatable. My work is a product of the American South and as such I strive to create a contemporary landscape both beautiful and troubled.”

Today we’re going to Brooklyn! Chris visits Pop/Street artist Wizard Skull at his Bushwick studio. Alex shares with us some of his early-on art adventures, inspirations and lessons that lead to him becoming the artist he is today. 

The two also chat about his involvement with skateboard graphics, Zines, street art, inflatable art, observing the “Art Game” and social media offerings.



About the Artist:

Painter and illustrator Wizard Skull’s humorous and often raunchy riffs on cartoon characters and mascots poke fun at pop culture and commercialism. Wizard Skull transforms recognizable characters from Homer Simpson and Mickey Mouse to Gumby and SpongeBob SquarePants into hybrid mashups, squiggly portraits, and obscene portrayals of fetishistic sex acts.
