EP16 | Peter Manning | Soldiers, Stencils and Skyscrapers | Local Heroes Podcast

On this week's Local Heroes Podcast, Chris and Dan meet Peter Manning, the creative force behind Prefab77. Based in Newcastle, Peter’s bold, layered work blends street art, fashion, and symbolic storytelling. But beyond the visuals is a story of sheer grit - from training as a printmaker in the British Army to hustling New York’s pop-up scene, landing gigs with Donna Karan, and wrestling with passport issues and green card chaos. Along the way, he's collaborated with global brands like Nike, and iconic bands like the New York Dolls, and closer to home, he’s built a lasting creative partnership with fellow local artist Mul. From underground shows to international galleries, Peter’s journey is one of hustle, heart, and hard-won success - plus a few firm opinions, like why you should never put the milk in your tea first.
