Plastic Jesus is a photojournalist using street art as his new medium
It may sound crazy but I go into each interview not knowing much about each guest. The reason for this is I want to be curious just like the listener will be and this pushes me to ask more interesting questions during the interview. I’m not completely crazy by the way, I do have an outline and story structure that I like to follow to make sure I get all the information I need!
When I sat down to record with LA street artist Plastic Jesus I was pleasantly surprised by what we discussed. For me going in I had known of Nick (Plastic Jesus’s real name) for many years but only for his viral art installations. What I discovered was being a painter and street artist was a fairly new venture for him because he had spent roughly 20 years as a photojournalist just before becoming an artist. And did you know he doesn’t even view himself as an artist? Just a photojournalist with a new medium.
