Legendary tattoo artist and painter Robert Ryan returns for his fourth conversation on the podcast to discuss the hidden language of graffiti, learning about spiritual practice from hardcore music, the influence of protest music, how preparation can be grounds for failure, and how he and his kirtan group SOMA (Sacred Order Of Mystic Apogees) became the opening act for Tyler Childers upcoming tour, including playing The Hollywood Bowl in June. Plus, Jaymee and Robert detail their upcoming event together in Ojai on Friday June 13th.
