Episode 103 (Episode 001). A Conversation with TEEN, of Crack Gallery.

TEEN is the founder of Crack Gallery, a graffiti writer, and an undeniable staple in the Vancouver art scene, among many other things.

This was actually our inaugural episode, 001. I had been stocking Crack Gallery items at my shop for a couple years before actually meeting TEEN in Vancouver in 2021. We talked for a while, it was really inspiring... I pretty much decided by the end of the talk, we should talk way more, record it, and have it be the start of my podcast. He agreed, we recorded for too long, I put it out, here we are. I've always wanted to re-release it to the audience we have now, I finally get to, I just wish it was under better circumstances.

TEEN was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, which is a type of cancer that affects one's blood cells, and bones.

A gofundme has been started for TEEN's cause, please read more if you have a minute, and consider contributing if you have the means to. 

Keep in mind, not everything we discuss in this episode is super current, or as relevant as it was when we recorded almost two years ago. I knew even less then than I do now about interviewing, recording, editing... 

You got this TEEN, much love!
