On Splatrs' Street Art Unearthed this week, Steph sits down with Frenemy, a graffiti and street artist, illustrator, tattoo artist, author, and world creator who has been painting street art and graffiti for more than 20 years. For Frenemy, painting graff was his art school. The adventure and competition to push further gave him the foundations to develop as an artist and gave him the community to move from country to country, able to plug in, find opportunities and instantly connect with likeminded people to paint with.

In this episode, we sit down with multi-disciplinary artist and creator Kyle Confehr, who's been making art in his spare time forever and full-time since 2019. Although Kyle considers himself a muralist rather than a street artist, he is also an avid sticker slapper and has been able to build his career around his unique doodle style, recognised and asked to compliment the late and great Keith Haring. From a chance chat at a gallery to a star feature at the Michener Art Museum, Kyle shares the wild ride to being an artist with all the highs, lows and nuances that come with it.

In this episode, we sit down with Adrian Dominic, a multi-disciplinary fine artist, painter and tattooer who's been spraying walls since the 90s, creating otherworldly creatures and designs so varied it's not possible to apply just one descriptor to his work. Deeply influenced by his younger years, Adrian shares his early experiences in Phoenix's gang culture, the wild UFO phenomenon normal in his city and the values he has developed around his life and art.

On this episode, we sit down with artist, skateboarder and musician Chris Haven, who's been painting the streets for decades, first lettering and then the iconic pyramid people that serve as an endless source of inspiration for him in his work both on the streets and off. His pyramids may be iconic, but Chris is also known for his cityscapes, his merchandise, skateboard projects, gallery work and music production. What may be most interesting, though, is his super mellow approach to his creative endeavours. As though channelled, he just follows what feels good and has made a killer career in the process.
