Flashback: In the Field With Graffiti Legend Lady Pink

Air Date:  June 2020 on 91.3FM WVKR-

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Erin Boogie sent an email to legendary graffiti artist Lady Pink on a whim to see if she would sit down for an interview. To both her and Lady D's surprise and delight, she said yes!

In this wide-ranging interview, Lady Pink takes listeners through her storied career from the beginning, touching on how she learned to paint and the origins of her name. She talks about balancing bombing trains with her meteoric rise through the art world, rubbing elbows with the likes of Basquiat and Andy Warhol. Pink gives listeners an inside look at starring in the classic movieWild Style, which she says they had no clue what it would grow into during filming.

Along the way, she drops plenty of gems, giving advice to upcoming artists and offering her take on the business side of the art industry.  We even learn about her and her husband's trials and tribulations with the infamous Vandal Squad and how that led to them relocating to the Hudson Valley.

This is one of Erin Boogie and Lady D's favorite interviews and you will quickly see why. Lady Pink offers up many cool little stories in this can't-miss interview.
