Unknown Speaker 0:44
Hello. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Whenever you might find yourself listening to graffiti Park radio, we are back again with another exciting episode. You got Dan and Dan, hey, oh and Miss Anika.
Unknown Speaker 0:57
Hi. How are you
Unknown Speaker 0:58
doing? Wonderful. Miss Anika. We're here with a very special guest for us today,
Unknown Speaker 1:02
Mr. Israel Sepulveda, otherwise known as the trippiest of pigeons, Mr. Trippy Pidgey,
Unknown Speaker 1:08
yo, yo. What's up?
Unknown Speaker 1:11
How are you doing today? Certainly,
Unknown Speaker 1:13
really good man. Glad to be here.
Unknown Speaker 1:16
What time did you wake up this morning? 230
Unknown Speaker 1:18
in the morning.
Unknown Speaker 1:19
My goodness, tell us a little bit why.
Unknown Speaker 1:21
Yeah, I just want to Yeah, are you a dad or something? Yes.
Unknown Speaker 1:24
Well, that's only one of many reasons why I love that early. You know, I like it. Tell
Unknown Speaker 1:31
us why, what's
Unknown Speaker 1:32
going on, what should be doing in the mornings. So
Unknown Speaker 1:34
I like to say I'm a roofer by day, or I really like to say I'm a part time roofer and a full time artist. Nice.
Unknown Speaker 1:43
Love that, love that man. So we're gonna deep into the we're gonna go into the artist thing. That's kind of what we do here. But we're gonna segue to a brief, you know, roofing tutorial. So how long you been doing that
Unknown Speaker 1:58
roofing? For five years now. Okay, yes, do you like it? It's a love hate relationship,
Unknown Speaker 2:05
exactly.
Unknown Speaker 2:06
So talk us through because your Instagram has a fun little roofer by day highlight, and we were taking a look at that before we jumped on the show. Yes, it was given Anika the heebie jeebies. So what are some of the places that being a roofer takes you, aside from the roof
Unknown Speaker 2:25
takes you everywhere. I've been to, um, Lake Tahoe, Reno, a little town up in Nevada called Winnemucca. Um, that's pretty much it, man. I mean, it's literally worldwide. You could literally go anywhere, like, there's crews out there in like, New Jersey and stuff like that. Too. Good thing. New
Unknown Speaker 2:42
Jersey also has roofers. Is there, like, a cool place in Vegas that, specifically, that you've worked on or been to all the casinos?
Unknown Speaker 2:52
Man, I think one of my most memorable spot was at the very peak of New York. New York, okay, they have the, I believe it's called the, I think it's like that. What was it called? It's like one. I don't know what that building is called, but I was at the very peak of it. Man, like the Christ Empire State Building. There you go. Yes, yes, it was, um, pretty cool. Man, was such a rainy day too. Like, I never been that high, you know, it's, I think, I believe it's a little higher than the stratosphere. So it was pretty cool.
Unknown Speaker 3:26
Goodness, that's,
Unknown Speaker 3:27
was there not like a lightning warning for roofer?
Unknown Speaker 3:31
Oh, yeah. Most definitely. Man, most definitely. No.
Unknown Speaker 3:34
You got ready to tell a story about a roller coaster? I saw something on your page too that, you know, I got a little motion sick. If you could tell us a little bit about that roller coaster experience up there on the
Unknown Speaker 3:44
roof? Yes, so, so as a roofer, I work in the service department, and we do a bunch of patches on the roofs, mostly on casinos, but yeah, like, we'd be like, literally anywhere. Like, the other day, I was like, underneath the roller coaster in New York, New York, and like, there's like, people screaming, and just like, they just see us. You know, it's pretty cool, like thinking, what is this guy doing here? Exactly, well,
Unknown Speaker 4:10
trip, dude, you're, you're still a pretty young guy. To have five years of roofing experience alone already is pretty impressive. And jumping back almost five years, maybe even pre before that, we met you probably four and a half years ago. Yes, and our first project was the YMCA dreamer lab. That's when me and you first met each other. And I could tell that you were a roofer, because you jumped right up on that scissor lift and had absolutely no, no fear of heights. And we're ready to jump up on that tell us a little bit about that experience and how we met.
Unknown Speaker 4:40
Man. It was very unexpected, one of my good friends. His name is he goes by Dr zo. He had invited me out to go paint with you guys, yeah, but this was on a Saturday, and I was like, Oh, well, I'm at one of my family parties, but I could probably stop by tomorrow. And then, sure enough, I stopped by. And the next day, and I think I finished that mural within like, four hours, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 5:04
oh, wow, yeah, yeah. And so the first mural that trippy and I were blessed to come together on was for YMCA dreamer lab. And so that was put on by a company called dreamer. They raised money through the Cox Communications Innovation Lab and with YMCA, and essentially were able to create a studio for kids to learn graphic design, music, video production, the whole nine yards. And so what they really wanted to instill in this feeling was an artistic outlier, a good feel of graffiti Park, something to make people feel like that they were invested in, that these kids were excited. And so that was our very first ever curated project with graffiti Park. We got to reach out to reach out to seven artists, and that was the very first time we met trippy. Pidgey and trippy has a style unlike any of the other artists that are in that dreamer lab. If you guys want to go to our website and see them trippy, tell us a little bit. How did you find your style? How did you come up with the name? How was trippy Pidgey born?
Unknown Speaker 5:56
All right, so during my sophomore year, I just fell in love with art. Well, graffiti at first, you know. And I don't know, I feel like I've always been like a lone wolf, you know, I've been, you know, I didn't really get into graffiti, you know, but it was a big inspiration of why I wanted to do, you know, like pick up a spray can, you know? But sure enough, I had this project in my art class about mixing two animals together. Okay, so I did a couple, like, like, random, like animals, like an alligator and like a penguin or something, you know, okay, and then I was like, Imma, just imma, combine a pigeon and a human. I mean, even though a human's not an animal, but I'ma just do it, you know. And sure enough, I Googled something. It was like, pigeon mask or something like that. And then sure enough, that first photo was like a guy with a hoodie, you know, with the pigeon mask. And I was like, Okay, I'm gonna draw that. And then sure enough, like, I started, it was like, more of, like, of a realistic take, but I kind of took that many into like a, like a character instead, okay, and then it just stuck from there. And then I started doing the pigeon first, and then I got into doing the patterns. And I don't know, man, like, something about the parents really, like, it was, like, I was like a mop to a flame, you know? I just, I just got attracted to it, and I just kept on doing it. Yeah, I
Unknown Speaker 7:33
love it. I noticed, like, it's a kaleidoscope looking sort of pattern and system. Like, how do you come up with that? Like, how do you decide what colors, what shapes like, what you're going for? How do you channel them?
Unknown Speaker 7:44
Honestly? Like, I just at first it would like, it would be a little more complicated back in the day, because I would try to figure out what color matches and what looks best with with this kind of pattern or stuff like that. But as as the year goes by, I'm like, man, every other color matches, you know, it's like, I I stopped kind of forcing it, and I just let it flow, you know. And, I mean, that's just what kind of took over, you know, just letting it flow, what what feels right, what doesn't, and just going from there. Yeah, it's
Unknown Speaker 8:18
really cool.
Unknown Speaker 8:19
So if you're curious about the patterns we're talking about. The style is called, like, sacred geometry, geometry, yes, like flowers of life, different things like that. Yes. And so is that something that, as you've kind of you mentioned the MO before we get were you just pidgy before you've met the pattern?
Unknown Speaker 8:36
It was like, literally right after, dude. So it was very quickly trippy. Piggy, yes, so Exactly. So I was at first, I was the pidgie, right? And then I picked up the patterns. And obviously patterns are very trippy, so I just combined the two. I wanted to create something very unique and different. I feel like using my name, my name is always going to be a part of what I make, right? So I want to make something that's like, unique and, you know, catches someone's attention, yeah? If you know, if you say trippy piggy 310s in a row, you're going to get it stuck in your head.
Unknown Speaker 9:15
You're literally, you're literally trippy in my phone,
Unknown Speaker 9:17
exactly, exactly. I mean, a lot of people just knowing my trivia. Man, that's okay, you know.
Unknown Speaker 9:23
So your very first pattern. Can we talk about that? What was the first pattern you tried? Do you remember?
Unknown Speaker 9:29
Yes, I don't. I've been trying to, trying to figure out what it's called, but it's like a, it's like a white pattern, interesting. Yes, yes. Um, I have it right here on my tattoo. Actually, this pattern right here.
Unknown Speaker 9:41
That's awesome. And so for people that are just listening over it's almost like a like the COVID phenomenon, like Nike logo, almost, but it's some like Minecraft,
Unknown Speaker 9:53
for you millennial plus, it's
Unknown Speaker 9:56
like a Tetris. Now we're talking shape of a T, shape
Unknown Speaker 9:59
of a Y. Two but why? Dimensional?
Unknown Speaker 10:02
Three dimensional. Why?
Unknown Speaker 10:05
And so then, did you just try with that one pattern, or did you immediately start pulling in multiple different Yes,
Unknown Speaker 10:10
so I started doing that pattern first, and then I had got this sketchbook that had a grid on there, okay, and which made it even easier for me to, like, just do that pattern, and then just slowly figuring out that these patterns could create different ones, absolutely, you know, with just like different, like angled outlines and stuff like that, it would create a different pattern. And I just got obsessed. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 10:40
and how did you learn that? Is it through using on, like, the grid system on a paper? Or was it, yeah, related? So
Unknown Speaker 10:47
not, honestly, I use no math, but
Unknown Speaker 10:51
I don't know how that's possible. It's funny. That's my I
Unknown Speaker 10:53
just so with this grid piece of paper, I only had like three sheets of paper in there. Okay, and gonna get you a big dude, I literally use that to my advantage. And then when I ran out, I was like, All right, so I'm gonna just start using my regular paper, right? And then it was like, it's just blank paper, so I just start free handing it. And then when I started free handing it, I was like, Oh, I don't even need the grid. You know? It's like, this is this is cool. This is relaxing, this is nice, and I'm gonna keep doing it
Unknown Speaker 11:24
nice and natural. And so it started out all on paper, all on graph paper, yeah, when did you change mediums? Or when did you want to go into something different?
Unknown Speaker 11:32
Oh, man, it was like, during my, my senior year,
Unknown Speaker 11:36
okay, like, two years into the journey, yeah, literally,
Unknown Speaker 11:39
two years into the journey, I was already, like, I started, like, slowly gravitating to, like, Sharpies and stuff like that, and like colored pencils, whatever I would get my hands onto. Because, you know, back in the day, I didn't really have money, you know, like, I would like, use the school to for my advantage, and use all the colors that they had, you know, I sucked at using paint like, like, paint brushes and stuff like that was not like, I didn't, I did not want to do that, yeah, so I just used Sharpie. It was way easier. And then it just worked out for me and but sure enough, after that, I started, like, right after high school, I started using, what's it called, paint markers, okay? Acrylic markers, postcodes, actually postcodes, decodes, and like, Molotov ones, okay. And just from there, I kind of like, I kind of envisioned the paint markers onto a wall. And I kind of like, I try to make it seem like the paint marker was a spray can, okay? And then I started layering my my work, and then I just imitate, imitated that onto a wall. And then, sure enough, it just worked out. Yeah, and
Unknown Speaker 12:51
did you develop your own style from the jump, or did you have any, like, mentors, or anybody that was teaching you how to
Unknown Speaker 12:56
No, I had no mentors. I had nobody teaching me. I just wanted to have fun, you know, I just wanted to do something that that made me, um, feel at ease, you know, relaxed and, you know, keep my mind busy.
Unknown Speaker 13:09
Yeah, what trippy is describing is called an auto Didact. It's somebody that can literally teach themselves anything based like, by breaking down basic things into smaller segments that they understand. And so trip dude, like I'm in awe of, though, some of the works that you're able to create, and especially some of the layers and the patterns and continuing, continually changing that craft and manipulating that into ways that have not been seen before. And so it's really cool. If you look out specific sacred geometry patterns and stuff, there's a lot of individual ones. And when you look at trippy stuff, it's a compilation of almost all of these different kinds of patterns. And it's so
Unknown Speaker 13:45
cool. That's incredible. And it's amazing too, that even though the school was a resource for you, that was the first, you know, inspiration that you had this particular school project. It was almost like you, you taught the teacher in the end, right? Yeah, honestly,
Unknown Speaker 13:59
I mean, at the end of the day, the teacher was a, was a coach, yeah, and he was just filling in for the art teacher. They just left, you know? And I mean, shout out to that guy for, like, giving me that assignment, because I don't know, maybe I would have never done it. I know you're living proof that that it's important, yes. So
Unknown Speaker 14:17
then your first spray paint piece, what was that one. Tell like, walk me through that one. Okay?
Unknown Speaker 14:21
So, sure enough, like, right after high school, got my first job. I was a dishwasher at eggworks, okay? And whatever cash I got, I would buy spray paint. You know, spray paint still pretty expensive. If it was like, I would get the cheapest one. You know, I didn't want to use rustoleans either. I wanted to use, like, a different kind of, like, more, like, more professional, like, more, I don't know, I just gravitated to like, Montana's and like and iron lax and, you know, all the spray cans, the low pressure, the low pressure Exactly. And, like I said, I would like, literally bite two at a time every like. Two weeks, man, and I just started collecting up until one of my my milk crates was filled. I was like, Alright, let's
Unknown Speaker 15:06
do it. Yeah, yeah. I
Unknown Speaker 15:07
started doing it. My mom's backyard. I did my first mural, my mom's backyard. Oh, that's incredible.
Unknown Speaker 15:12
And you're, you're downplaying it, because the size of this mural, for a first mural, is, you know, I can't say certain words, it's massive. It is absolutely massive. It's 14 feet tall. If I'm not mistaken, he's up on a ladder for it.
Unknown Speaker 15:24
Yes, um, that's like, a different location. The My first one was like, uh, like, my mom has, like, this bat, um, backyard bathroom shed, okay? And I believe it's like, maybe, like, like, 11 feet by by eight feet wide, okay. I mean, it's still pretty big. That that one, right? I guess, yeah, that one, that's my first one.
Unknown Speaker 15:43
That's incredible. Wow. If I could describe this to you, it's, it's like, I don't know, and then trippy Tetris, for you millennials,
Unknown Speaker 15:52
yeah, when I first did that, just, you know, I just looked back and I was like, I got it, it just clicked. I'm like, perfect. I mean, I watch a lot of YouTube videos on about, like, graffiti, you know. Like, even though I don't do graffiti, I would see their techniques and how they would manipulate the spray count, okay, yeah, you know. And I just, I just did it, and it just, it just clicked, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 16:16
yeah. And you have a alternate approach to it just because you, for lack of a better like, you weren't very involved in graffiti and that kind of culture, and you always wanted to take it to something that was so much more and turn it into art. Yeah, and I think that's can't be lost on the people listening, and some of our listeners that actually go out and do graffiti, because there is that option to change it from a lifestyle into a full art form and a career, for lack of a better term,
Unknown Speaker 16:42
definitely right. And balancing your daily career and this art side and your art world, how have you been able to do that? You know, with all that you have to do during the day? And let me tell you, if you go on his page, by all means, if you would like to check that out, it's unbelievable, the heights and the work that you're doing on your day job. I know the emotional stress might take a little bit from that, you know, to that artistic ability. So how do you balance the two? I'm
Unknown Speaker 17:10
gonna be real honest, it took a while to figure out, because just recently, I became, I'm like, I just became 10 months sober off of alcohol. That's incredible. I started, I stopped smoking too. That's nice. And the way I see, I just eliminate all my all, all of my bad habits, and then invested all that time into, you know, being a parent and then being a roofer and then being an artist. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 17:39
no better answer than that, my friend, yeah, that was good. Do
Unknown Speaker 17:42
you have any tips or tricks to other people that are also pursuing a full time art career and also have other responsibilities that they need to take care of? Is any words of advice for them?
Unknown Speaker 17:54
Yeah, I'd say, just keep pushing honestly. I mean, it's okay to have a day job and, you know, pursue your dreams. You can still do it. I'm, I'm doing it living proof. I'm living proof, you know, and, um, I'm, I'm gonna continue doing it as well. It's like, I would love to be a full time artist, right? But I gotta take care of my family, you know? I gotta take care of my family, not only my family myself. And I got, not gonna lie, I'm a pretty expensive guy. And I
Unknown Speaker 18:25
think it's in I think it goes back to a couple things that you were saying. So first off, we were talking a little bit before the show, that you're the first artist that we're chatting with that we're having on that isn't a full time artist in different capacities, right? And I think that's some people might look at that as like, oh, okay, you're striving to get there. But I think it's important what you just said earlier about you started doing art because it made you feel good. It was mindless, it was it was something that was a form of expression. And I really loved your example of like a moth to a flame, of like, Oh, these two things, like, came in as a synergy. So I think it's important for other artists out there. And you just said it's okay to have a day job, like, it's okay for art to be that passion, that outlet, yeah, and then if you find it paying some bills or or maybe some of the things that you want to buy in life, like, that's awesome too, right? And so I think it's important to chart your own pathway of however you want to do
Unknown Speaker 19:18
it, yeah, definitely the way I see it, too, man, I'm still young, right? You know, I don't. I feel like a lot of people try to try to rush that dream. Yeah, right. I'm all about the I'm all about the the How did I say I'm all about the journey? Yeah, it's literally all about enjoying the journey. Yeah, you know, I do see myself at the end of that tunnel, but I know it's going to take me a little while, and that's honestly okay with me, yeah? Because I, because I believe in myself that I could reach to that point in my life, and I just gotta keep on doing what I'm doing. You know,
Unknown Speaker 19:53
yeah, man, you do, man. And it's, I'm
Unknown Speaker 19:55
sorry to cut you off on that, but it's, it's awesome, because we've even seen you start to verge and change. Some of those styles and bring in a couple of different eclectic styles as well. There was one down at night club on Fremont Street called Zai, and he did, I guess technically it was a peacock,
Unknown Speaker 20:10
but it was cheat on the pigeon,
Unknown Speaker 20:15
absolutely. And he's even changed that into over at ontario cambiero Elementary School, he did an entire Japanese traditional style Dragon, all in the patterns in the backside, too. And the way that you just can take different pieces and and morph your style into them to make completely new ideas is just really impressive. And I encourage anybody to go and check those out on Instagram and see exactly what I'm talking about. To bring a little bit more clarity to the pictures
Unknown Speaker 20:41
and so and one thing I've noticed through your work is like, and just for those just listening, I'm scrolling through trippy's Instagram and just seeing that was able to pull up that first mural all the way up to the work he's working on now. And it's, it's cool to see your style evolve. And then you pick certain patterns that you like, or maybe, you know, you think looks better in a certain place. But another thing that stands out to me is you got a lot of different types of canvases here, not just walls, yes, namely, quite a few shoes. And I would obviously proudly say that I rock some pidgy customized bands every so often. So how did you when did you start saying, Okay, I went from the graph paper to the paper to, I want to do spray paint to, okay, I got all these skills. I'm going to start doing shoes and customizing those. You know, it
Unknown Speaker 21:30
actually started with shoes before I even did muros, really? Yeah, and my sophomore, not my sophomore, my my senior year, we had this art project with vans. And they, they had invited, like, maybe 500 schools okay to customize shoes. And I think we got like, like 38 out of 500 Wow, really, yeah, we replaced 38 Yeah, that's awesome. It was really cool, man. I mean
Unknown Speaker 21:56
Air Force ones in here, yes, yes. Vans, New Balance, elites,
Unknown Speaker 22:03
cleats, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 22:04
we've got a pair of forces at the headquarters that are going to come your way.
Unknown Speaker 22:08
Let me know in my office for three months. It's
Unknown Speaker 22:13
pretty funny too, because, like, Mike, my cousins would like give me some like, beat up old air forces, right? And I'll make them look brand new. And I'm like, Man, I made these beaters into eaters.
Unknown Speaker 22:26
We're taking them. And I love I love it. Is there anything that you're working on right now that you're really proud of? You want to tell us a little bit
Unknown Speaker 22:31
about, yes, I am working on, on a on a new series. I call it a new vision. Okay, yeah, I've been doing a new canvas every month this whole year, it's like, a it's like, well, this whole year I've been sober, and I'm, I'm pretty, very proud of myself about that, you know,
Unknown Speaker 22:49
I really weird too.
Unknown Speaker 22:50
I really took that step and, like, you know, changed my life for the better. You know, my family deserved the best version of myself, that's right? And, well, yeah, every month I've been doing a new canvas, and it's, it's been fun, you know, it's fun, like, being able to, you know, pick up canvas and, and, you know, I'm doing, I'm using paint brushes now, and, like, Home Depot paint, you know. And I love it. So it's so relaxing. Like, I threw away all my markers. I'm like, I don't need this, you know, I gotta step it up. You know, I love it.
Unknown Speaker 23:20
Is there anything about it? I mean, I can talk about it, but I would love to have you share, like, what specifically about the artwork itself? You talked a little bit about, like, what's driving that artwork from like, you know, what you've been doing this year, but what about that artwork is a new vision compared to stuff you've done in the past?
Unknown Speaker 23:40
Well, the stuff that I've done in the past, I feel like it's been, like, more, um, crazy kind of all over the place, you know, but clean. So now what I'm doing is, like, I'm taking one pattern, and I'm each section of a pattern, I'm like, doing like, different gradients of color, and it like, it goes from, like, dark to light, so it fades into a color. But I use about, like, a or nine different colors in there, and it just looks really nice. It pops and it looks even more three dimensional without having to use like, like layering different, like designs on a solid background,
Unknown Speaker 24:17
or to even have to outline them. After all of its Yes, it
Unknown Speaker 24:20
doesn't even need an outline.
Unknown Speaker 24:23
And are all of these canvases? Do you prep them all black? Is that a part of No,
Unknown Speaker 24:27
actually, I'm doing white first. Just okay, just so the color could pop out more, okay, instead of having to do more layers because background, okay, yeah, okay.
Unknown Speaker 24:39
That's awesome. Man, that's awesome. So do you have an you're working on this new vision? Do you have any mural projects or anything else coming up?
Unknown Speaker 24:47
Um, I actually, I got this, um, Dentist air, this new dentist spot, hopefully, I mean, I already got it, but it's like, I still gotta do, like, sketches and all that stuff. It's called um. It's. Thoughts, the smile squad, over there on, okay, over there on, Sahara and Nellis.
Unknown Speaker 25:06
Okay, so you're bringing on some smiles. Yes, always good. You
Unknown Speaker 25:10
got a smile. And in here, it's funny, because,
Unknown Speaker 25:12
you know, when we when Dan and I go to other schools and we talk about, what are you looking for? It's very telling when they've seen one of your pieces because they're, like, one of the trippy things, it's got a bunch of patterns or whatever, and it's so cool to have, as Dan was mentioning earlier, you've kind of charted your own pathway in terms of, you know, what that style looks like. So it's awesome, you know, for Dan and I to go into those spaces and hear people say and request that style by name, you know. And that's, there's only one trippy Pidgey out here, so it's a lot of fun for us, yeah? Because it's, you know, and no dis or no offense to anyone who can do, there's a bunch of different artists that can do letters, and that's cool too, yeah, you know, or scenes, or whatever. But it's really cool that you've kind of charted your way into that, into that journey, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 25:57
definitely, man, you gotta pave your own way,

yeah, you know, yeah, and it's, it's also cool for, you know, just to keep shout now Pidgey, he's got a whole bunch of different merch opportunities. He's got gym shorts hoodies. Dan and I are always swagged out and trippy stuff. We're dripping with the trip. Yes, sir. And you've got works and all different parts of town, schools, area 15,
Unknown Speaker 26:23
yeah, palms, casino,
Unknown Speaker 26:25
your future dentist. Yeah, that's amazing.
Unknown Speaker 26:28
So trippy as we're talking about all these projects, and as we're kind of looking back at your wonderful art journey. Are there any projects that stick out specifically, are there any that make you feel something different than all the others?
Unknown Speaker 26:40
Oh, man, it's our first trip out of town. Man, Pennsylvania, yeah, oh, tell
Unknown Speaker 26:45
me about it. What happened?
Unknown Speaker 26:47
What didn't happen? It was fun. It was real fun. Like, right after high school, one of my first thing was, like, what am I gonna do? You know, I didn't have a job, didn't know where to steer myself to, yeah, but the one of the first thing I told myself is that I'm gonna be painting walls and I'm gonna be traveling the world, and just by that first trip, it would really open my eyes and made me really grateful for that experience, you know, because it's just, I feel like a lot of people deserve, you know, to do that one once in their lifetime, you know, maybe once 100 times in life, it's awesome.
Unknown Speaker 27:24
And as we wrap up on that note, perfect transition. We've been lucky. We've done two jobs out of town, the one that that trippy is mentioning out in Berwick, Pennsylvania, and we've done another one out in outside of Boston. And trippy's gone with us on both of those trips because one of his unique style, but more importantly, because of the man that he is, amen, and we appreciate you coming on today and telling us a little bit about your journey, your story, man, it's awesome. We're super proud of you as friends, as colleagues, whatever we are. But anyhow, that being said, if anyone listening is interested in finding your work or your merch or anything like that, where can they find you?
Unknown Speaker 28:09
Instagram. Man. Trippy Pidgey, T, R, i, p, p, y, p, I D, G, y, trippy Pidgey, all one word only got Instagram. That's it, and
Unknown Speaker 28:19
you'll find it pretty quickly. If you're interested in learning more about graffiti park, you can find us also on Instagram, at graffiti Park underscore, LV, and if you can't find trippy and you're still interested in finding them, you can find them on our stuff as well. Dan Anika, Israel, it's been a pleasure, guys,
Unknown Speaker 28:40
another version graffiti, Park radio, this one, the trip of the drip, the drip of the trip.
Unknown Speaker 28:46
And our weaknesses were touching knees. I guess our weaknesses may have touched anyways. Have a great Sunday, whatever day you are in. We'll see you later.
