I was out riding my bike the other day. For some reason, I decided to take a different path than I normally do.

On East Washington Avenue I saw three people, one of them was on a ladder. They were just finishing up what looked like a mural that said “You are beautiful” on it.

I stopped and decided to go ask them what it was.

Listen to the whole story and find out.

Next month I’m going to be releasing a podcast about things just like this. It’s called American Bandito.
The concept was this - I put up an ad on Facebook that said “Are you an artist in Madison? I would like to talk to you.” And that was it. There was no pre-screening, people signed up and I scheduled an interview with them.

I wanted to know about people that are making art, people that are just starting out, people that are trying to get back into it.

I know very little about the art community that’s happening in my own town and I wanted to change that.

Starting in August I’ll be releasing those interviews. If you’d like to be notified when the episodes come out, sign up for the mailing list.
