I'll Call You Right Back #65 - Brian Gonnella

This week, I sat down with Brian Gonnella. Brian is a full time artist from Pittsburgh that has been living off his passion for years. We talk about where his love of art came from and how it’s been a consistent part of his life since the beginning. Early on, Brian fell in love with comic books and hip hop music. From there, his interests blossomed into graffiti, “street art,” traveling, and much more. We talk about how he transitioned his artwork from a hobby into a way to pay the bills, living on a Indian Reservation as part of an art residency that allowed him and other street artists access to unlimited blank walls to fill with dope work, how much work and money goes into the big murals we all see on the side of huge buildings, and how important it is for other people with bigger platforms to use their voice and make some shit happen within the community. I really enjoyed talking to Brian. It’s always refreshing to pick the brain of creative people who carve their own path and succeed in doing what they love. Shit is crazy motivating to me. I loved this episode and I know you will too. Thanks for listening!
