HAVE A DOPE DAY

Exactly one year ago Cheyenne Randall aka Indian giver blessed me with my first ever interview on the first ever episode on this podcast.  I had zero experience in podcasting or interviewing people 😆. So one year later with thousands of minutes of recording time and interviewing many different kinds of people I wanted another chance to sit down with Cheyenne as a more experienced host and also to celebrate his wife Ariel . During the recording of the episode the title POWER COUPLE kept coming to my mind because they truly are something special as a team . Dealing with artist isn't always easy, dealing with a spouse isn't always easy. So in my mind "Artist spouse" seems like a major challenge, they make it look easy as they travel the country installing art and looking for good coffee and sandwiche spots as a power couple. Thank you Cheyenne and Ariel for your story and time .

For some of us in the streets there is only one way to play the graff game .this means we don't just "write Graff" we fucking do Graffiti! We eat,breath ,sleep graffiti it's a full contract sport that is not to b played with because when shit gets real... it's all the way real . It's serious business to some of us  . Graffiti is intense and that's why we love it . This episode is the story of gusalen a California base writer that painted graffiti in his younger years . Today As a responsible member of society he curate's and funds his own Graffiti magazine called serious business . He's a new father , husband and an artist . This is his story in his own words

Artist are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get . For me This is especially true with Jeff musser and his work. my first honest thoughts were " I just know that I like it " then come the questions why ,what,when,  in these conversations with artist I always learn something that I apply to my own creative process .  Conversation's with Jeff musser about his journey has reminded me of a harsh truth and that truth is " real life challenge breed's  real life inspiration" . I appreciate the reminder Jeff and I'm excited to see what is next for you !This is Jeff musser story in his own words.

Thank you

Sometimes art finds people. Sometimes people find art.  In Brian's case it's a bit of both. Brian moves to the dopest city on planet earth  Sacramento California and begins to curate an idea"I wanted to show people back east what California was really like , aside from what people see on tv"  I call this making art honestly meaning you do it because it's good for your spirit and soul not because you want to b "famous"🤢 ! It just so happened that he did get "famous"🤑 and he is living his dream everyday. This is a powerful story of Brian's life so far in his own words!

Thank you!

Don't even Tripp foo the have a dope day podcast got you're back CEREALISM in old sac was built to merge the old school Saturday morning vibe with the best of the social media generation.

I don't remember every seeing neon lights use like this before! It makes sense to me somehow! These are my first thoughts the first time I seen Melissa uroff work in person . these thoughts never left my brain and I had no idea months later I would b sitting down with the artist talking about who she is what she does and how she got to this point in her artist journey. Melissa uroff has made it a point to share and highlight the works of other artists here in our city of Sacramento 👊🏼🙏🏼 with a magazine called TUBE  produced 100% by artist ! This episode is a bit of her story in her own words!

Thank you

This is truly the wildest graffiti story I have ever herd ! This story is so wild and so not yet over that I ask the producer to remove the name of the writer because as some of you know it's not hard for detective's to look into your profile base  on the smallest  bit of information and then arrest warrants are issued and then hopefully bail and  all the other "fun" stuff that comes with graff . So to protect the artist I'ma just play it safe. The streets who know this guy is and that's all that matters. With that being said the HAVE A DOPE DAY podcast doesn't promote or encourage vandalism in any shape or form 😜. Don't ask me nothing about no body just take me to my cell!

Thank you

I use to trip out over the type's of people that paint graffiti. Now I understand that the graffiti culture has always had the power to heal the knuckle heads and sick ass foos we call friends and family in the Graff game . This episode with BLOTE is a great example of what I'm talking about. BLOTER allows us a glimpse in to his life's wild journey with no holding back the good bad the ugly the positive the accountability that is needed for recovery and the loyalty that comes from painting graffiti with our friends.This is his story in his own words!

Thank you

Conan is a veteran in the frame game here in Sacramento California. Since the mid 90s he has been practicing and mastering the art of framing  . I call him the "second artist"  😁 on the piece because what he does truly add's  value visually and at the same time protection for the art  for years to come . Extending the life and impact of the art that is inside the frame. Conan didn't watch a bunch of YouTube videos or Google how to frame. He put in his 10,000 hours year after year piece by piece!  This episode is his story in his own words !

Thank you

This episode is a bit different. A three way conversation about art ,dad life and Ballance and everything in-between. With two of my friends   DUST ONE🦖🎨 and WES HEMLOCK🦖🎥 two dope artist / dad's that share their personal experience on these  topics and more . These two are some of my favorite people to talk shop with because of the difference in approach and execution in similar situations .

                              Thank you
