I love it.. and well cause I love it so much.. I got myself a Zoom 5 recorder.. plug in two lapel mics and I can record anywhere.. I’m getting these stories people.. so I got on a train and went to my second favourite city in the UK and my ex home for 9 years.. Brighton to check in on my Big Homie Nick and borrow his amazing gallery / studio / recording spot in Hove called Place to sit down with Brigton resident but Hull native with other places inbetween.. Graffiti Writer, Artist and Illustrator Pinky… You remember them PINK blockbusters from the early ninties.. the old school wildstyles, the colours and also being from the South of the country and especially the arrogant swagger of a Londoner {me} yet with absolute bewilderment and awe at the styles coming out from the North and when your 16 in zone 2 london, Kilburn and you hear of place called Hull and see pieces from crews like DRA.. you get to realise the depth of the culture you became part of.. This is that no borders stuff.. our stuff transends.. I have been wanting to meet Pinky since then and I got the chance maybe 17 years later when one of clients in Brighton needed something and I thought you need Pinky.. It was dope to holla at the King and commission work from him, and since then we have been in contact and chatted on various occasions about various subjects.. I knew this would be amazing.. Pinky brings us back to Hull in the 80’s and gives and tells us about his first sights on paintings in the streets and his first paintings.. what Hull was like growing up and being a writer there and his thoughts on leaving his home town and moving south.. We talk about how he supported himself though work and commssions, his experience putting on his first gallery show and how travelling abroad clicked and gave him the conviction of thought to call himself an artist.. His work is great.. pyscodellic, bright, dope use of colour that gives off great vibes.. got check him at thepinkyvision on Instagram whilst you listen.. Enjoy this is f24..
