It finally happened! I sat down with @naveenissleepy someone that everyone has been telling me to have a conversation with! Naveen and I are very similar in that we design clothes, art and help our friends out when we can, our brands align in that we mix nostalgia and pop culture. Latley he has been going so crazy with Polywrl and freelancing it was an awesome learning more about him. One big difference between us is that Naveen started off as a producer, making beats for his friends that slowly transitioned into cover arts and now designing for some big names in our city. He is also friends with the members of T5 if you haven't listened to that episode please go back it's the funniest one i've had yet!

On this episode I sit down with 3/4 owners of Layer Chicago a local vintage resell store that has been making a big name for themselves reselling vintage clothing, furniture, art and so much more.
I recently met the guys after Esteban (@escofits) head stylist and selfless soul, introduced us, gave me a behind the scenes look at their store and we scheduled a day in the distant future to record.
The day came and I learned so much about how they started the companies they left behind to form this new collective and how their store name came about.
These 3 guys are the face of the store while Adam the one not on the podcast is the genius behind everything ( look forward to meeting him too!) I love how charismatic every one is and they have their own distinct styles, the store itself is amazing right on north avenue by one of the busiest areas in the city no wonder it's a success.
You can tell they love what they do especially since they're waking up at 3am some days to do it! I learned alot about vintage lingo and how to work with others in this episode there is alot of gems the best way to hear them all is to listen all the way through!
Thank you for sticking around make sure to comment or give us a 5 star rating! Keep making pigs fly!

Welcome back! Fedz aka Fernando an artist here in Chicago came through and we have our first long format conversation on live on the podcast. Fedz and I have always bumped into each other at events but it was never enough time to truly get to know one another, after this conversation our friendship definitely grew.
I found out that we’re in the same industry not just as artist but signage! He talks about how he’s ready to leave his day job to pursue artistry full time, when he’s not painting murals he’s learning a new medium at the moment he is a tattoo apprentice. Soon he will master this too! We talk about his upbringing, going to Mexico to live with his grandparents, his journey from LA to Chicago and how he got his name.
As a child fedz would sculpt toys and figures out of mud, that slowly turned into actual sculptures and his love for art began. I learned so much about him and myself we are happy to have him and welcome him back anytime! A lot of gems buried in this episode the best way to hear them all is to listen all the way through thank you for supporting the pod and telling all your pals about us!

This episode of the PDP (@pabspod) was filmed in Bogota, Colombia my hometown, I invited my artist friend @matcreativo to join me in our airbnb and shoot the shits!
Disclaimer: this episode will have subtitles on youtube!*
We had a great time I got to practice my Spanish a lot, and learned so much about Mat. From his upbringing to his dog Broly, our influences in anime, cartoons and how we put it into our art. I like to think of Mat of the version of me in Colombia lol he's a muralist, graphic designer, curates events where he puts on other artist (sound familiar?) But he also dedicates alot more time into graffiti and spray painting which I admire. I learn about "la ley del duende" his most recent event and the saying itself that comes from Colombia, we learn about his favorite method of creating, where he see's himself in 5 years, getting arrested, where his name came from and so much more!
the only way to know it all is to listen all the way through thank you so much for your support, thank you MAT and keep listening/ watching on youtube im excited to meet so many more artists.
Have a great day Make Pigs Fly!

"Behind every great man is an even greater woman" we sit down with Simon & Cece the owners of FINDERZ KEEPERZ, a resell company that sources and provides quality vintage garments.
Not too long ago they launched their curated gallery experience company "This Is Our Canvas".
My lovely "FIANCE" joins us on this episode giving us double date vibes, we get into how we all met; Very randomly at another pop up and Pablo was serving up Taco Sublime, Simon & Cece have always been super welcoming and have taught us so much.
We learn where their company came about and how it is really their love story, through shared experiences they find and sell pieces that played an essential part of becoming who they are.
Managing parenting and being business owners is tough we learn how they do it and how important it is to pray in this life. This episode reminded me why I love doing podcast's I'm able to learn so much about these creatives and the real passion behind their work.
thank you for listening, watching on YouTube and most importantly sharing with your pals! follow Simon & Cece @finderz_keeperz_chi make sure to be on the lookout for @thisisourcanvas.gallery next event and you can shop with them at B Collective!

Welcome back! I caught Nikko aka AliSix at a very pivotable part of his life fresh off a Mexico trip and right before his Japan trip, we sat down and I learned a lot about the multimedia artist. You know his character Richie the Raccoon but latley he has introduced a new character "King" his Tiger we get into the development of him.
All the mural work he has been doing for small businesses and even bigger companies like Warner Bros. We talk about the importance of "showing face" and interacting with other artists, this could lead to being invited to be in future shows, but creating sick art is key! Nikko has been one of the most consistent artists in the city but he talks about how sometimes he feels like he's running in circles, getting out of the country has helped him stay inspired and get out of his comfort zone.
We talk about his graffiti background and how he transitioned to more character/ mural work, his encounters with the police and the best way to go about tagging now. You can tell Nikko has a passion for super hero's and cartoons, we talk about his biggest inspirations that even influence how he dresses now.
There's so much we cover in this episode thank you for listening all the way through you can follow his art: https://www.instagram.com/ali_six_/ and check out his website: https://www.ali-six.com/ he constantly drops new items & merch so stay tuned!
You can follow me: https://www.instagram.com/pabsprints/ new things coming very soon!

On this episode of the PDP I sit down with some of the funniest comedians in the world! Rami, Younis & Momo are 3/5ths of the comedy group Terminal 5, Chicago comics that have been making a name for themselves, putting on their own shows and bringing people joy for a couple years now. I've been a fan ever since I saw them do stand up and it's really a full circle moment to be able to have them on my podcast.
The night after recording this my face was so sore from laughing so much but what stood out to me the most was how genuine and kind these guys are, they do this for the right reasons and it shows. Even through the trolling and flaming you can tell how much love they radiate and anyone who goes to their events will feel that energy.
Rami speaks on his latest hour (that i got to witness and it's amazing) what inspired it from his early days in theatre to what's happening in Palestine now.
Younis recently moved to LA pursing comedy doing freelance work he is able to use his editing skills to pay rent but also to practice his sets even more.
Momo has his own show that he produces "Make Me Laugh" which showcases other comedians and does alot of the editing as well. Even though they're all hilarious you can tell how serious they are about their craft and the hard work is paying off. This podcast at it's core is about Art and comedy is one of the hardest art forms in my opinion but they do it so effortlessly.
Terminal 5 just had a show for new year but they're constanly doing more shows through out the year I know Rami just annoucned a couple dates check out his instagram to find him in a City near you and you can look forward to their 5 year anniversary show in August where I will definitely be attending.
This is the longest podcast I have ever done but it went so quick and there's still so much more i wanted to talk about either way i'm sure we will have them on again if they aren't too "Hollywood" disclaimer: the audio cut off for a bit so we used camera audio but it comes back

we sit down with Fabio aka DJ P Boy a rising DJ out of Mcallen, Texas and Auroras cousin. First real time having a long format conversation with him but it was a great time this is his 2nd time being on a podcast usually behind his DJ board he can let the music do the talking but i'm really glad we got to see another side of Fabio. Fabio was born in Chicago and moved at a young age he tells us a little about his upbringing, wanting to be a soccer player but due to an ATV accident he found an interest in DJ'ing. Fabio recently completed school at Point Blank Los Angeles where he learned the in's and out's of the music business.
After this conversation I realized how determined DJ P Boy is to make his dream reality, he has been working gigs consistently from weddings to silent headphone club events having to adjust accordingly to peoples requests and still create his own sound. One of his goals is to DJ in Chicago and I have no doubt it will happen real soon.
Thank you DJ PBOY for taking the time to do this podcast and my lovely co-host for making this happen and explaining the concept of this pod so effortlessly.
We appreciate you listening, subscribing and watching our videos on youtube, make sure to follow Fabio @djp_boy11 and support him along his DJ Career
see you next week! Keep proving them wrong!

She dabbles in any form of art and has made a name for her self in Chicago for her bright colors and warped fonts, we talk about her upbringing hitting the streets to tag, repurposing furniture that people donated and selling it back to them after she made it cool, how we met and how much we have in common. Yeus really is a fan of quality art even though she doesn't show her face much once you see her work you know it's her, I'm grateful to be able to sit down with her and learn more. Watch the full youtube video to see the woman behind all the great pieces and follow her as we go into 2024 she has alot more art to show us! @yueskeyluna
