Nick Petrella and Andy Heise // Rich Simmons

This week on the podcast is part two of our interview with Rich Simmons. He’s known for blending the rebellious energy of street art with the bold visuals of pop art, into his self-defined genre of Pop Punk Art.

Rich is described as a visionary, a cultural disruptor, and a dynamic communicator. His work resonates with collectors, communities and anyone who believes art can be a catalyst for change.

He’s also the founder of Art is The Cure, a mental health movement he launched in 2008, and Create Scene, a social network for creatives.
