David Speed (the artist) is an amazing human being. I know next to nothing about art or street art/grafitti but I loved listening to his podcast about how he got into it. (link: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/creative-rebels-the-podcast-for-creatives/id1448695774) he hosts with his long time friend and photographer Adam Brazier. Spoiler: he bumped into Goldie while out tagging a wall. Goldie gave him his first commission and the rest is history. I think he has also done a lot of work getting young people land contracts for art in corporate offices. I found his journey truly fascinating. He had a studio in the block that was recently demolished outside Shoreditch Station. I loved cycling past his wall – it would always have a new portrait and his style would develop over time.
David is a great artist and a great guy. He also did a mural of me on Old St
I love this; fire fighters are probably the most boss people on earth. Imagine! Running in! The courage is almost an infraction of standard self preservation.
Billy Faust’s dad fitted my bathroom, about 25 years ago. Really decent guy and really proud of his son even then. Heartbreaking.
