Paint, Pavement & Purpose with Contemporary Artist Ross Pino
About this episode
Ross Pino discusses his art, motorcycle experiences, and insights on rider safety.
Ross Pino a self-taught painter often described as Keith Haring meets Basquiat. Raised in the Southwest with deep indigenous roots, Ross pours the desert's rattlesnakes, scorpions, and his signature skulls-meets-pure-fun energy straight into his work. He came up through skateboarding, taught himself to paint, and has owned around fifty motorcycles including a gorgeous 2020 Triumph Thruxton TFC. It's a wide-ranging talk about art, identity, and the memento mori philosophy that keeps him riding with his eyes wide open. Plus, some real-world rider wisdom on why reliability and being seen can save your life.
