My guest today is Peter Gibson, better known as Roadsworth. He gained notoriety with his playful style of stenciled interventions on city streets and sidewalks. Today, he works in diverse mediums, creating large scale murals and street scapes, enlivening the urban landscape with his bold and graphic style. In our conversation, we talk about inspiration, cynicism, lessons learned and the value of connections.See Peter’s work on his website: <a href="http://www.roadsworth.com/￼Documentary">http://www.roadsworth.com/ Documentary</a> mentioned in the episode: “Crossing The Line” directed by Alan Kohl.Sound recording by Kevin Tighe Music by Omar Miller
