This week’s featured artist is Tallboy. We came to learn of this artist through the work he has down at two of my favorite places in Maine - Bissell Brothers and High Roller Lobster Co. It is fitting that our first episode back in some time is a close connection to a place that is being impacted right now like many across the country. 

Maine has become a part of who I am and has made me appreciate life, people and my family more every year. Through this project I have been blessed to make so many friends there and knowing they are hurting, scared and not sure of what tomorrow brings hurts my heart. This episode is dedicated to all of them and all of you.

Tallboy is a unique spirit who is passionate about what he does and creates art under his own terms and vision. When I first discovered his work I followed along for months and months with the hope he would do just one label and he did. Worth A Visit, Worth A Lifetime is a perfect compliment to his work and a great level of trust from Peter who loves his home state more than anyone I have met in my life. If it was the SATs it would be Peter Bissell: Maine as AJ: Philly. 

We talk about skate decks, graffiti, black lights and life. With some of the imagery and creative that he brings to life you would think that he would be a tough guest, but he was great, down to earth and just an all around good person who loves his craft and appreciates every opportunity. 

I am so happy to be back this week. I hope that this episode is a small distraction and brings a smile to your face and lets you know we are here for you. Be safe. We love you and are here for you.
