Positive Street Art: Manuel “Phelany” Ramirez

In part two of Creative Guts’ interview with the team behind Positive Street Art, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman talk with Manuel “Phelany” Ramirez, lead artist and co-founder of Positive Street Art! You probably know Phelany for his murals — he’s had a lot of practice with a can of spray paint! We talk about spray paint as a medium (it’s hard!) and the stigma around “street art”. In this episode, we’ll also talk about murals (duh), including the biggest mural, the weirdest wall, and how Phelany went from Phelan Place Bronx, New York City to painting a moose in Lancaster, New Hampshire.Find more about Phelany and his art online at www.phelany.com and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/phelany23. Find Positive Street Art online at www.positivestreetart.org, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/positivestreetart, and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/positivestreetart.Listen to this episode wherever you listen to podcasts or on our website www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com.
