    Street art blogger, documentarian, and interviewer Inspiring City takes a turn in the interview seat for this one! We dive into Stu’s journey from editing Wikipedia pages to documenting London’s street art scene, and discuss how East London and Brick Lane influenced both of us. He shares insights from interviewing some of today’s most interesting creatives, touches on the history of graffiti, and gives shout-outs to some of our favourite artists, including Fin DAC, ROA, Zabou, Jonesy, WOSKerski, Lady Pink, Charlotte Bracegirdle, and dream guests, Robert Del Naja / 3D, Futura 2000, 10 foot and Helch.

    Stu’s passion and enthusiasm is contagious, and his catalog of blogs and interviews is truly incredible. Be sure to check out his work over at inspiringcity.com.

    In this episode I was lucky to speak with an artist whose work I really love. The Misfortune Teller is a london based artist hailing from Glasgow, who has a unique approach to art informed by his background in advertising.

    We talk about the importance of honestly combined with humour, being your own raw material, as well as dark prophecies and the importance of Sauna.
