with Lewis Hobson. Murals, buildering, sci-fi Geordies and sex in space.

Lewis Hobson is the founder of Durham Spray Paints, and he creates beautiful and very large murals for communities and local businesses around the North East. We spoke about Lewis’s move from doing graffiti to doing murals, taking risks, and having the optimism to start new projects without worrying about where they’re going. I had a lot of fun talking to Lewis about a whole range of unfinished projects, including a climbing YouTube channel, an outdoor community climbing wall, and a series of stories and novels that were inspired by vivid dreams. (The highlights are a Geordie sci-fi novel, a story about humans having wings, and a story about what might happen if a porn site sponsored space exploration.) Towards the end of the episode there’s also an excellent anecdote about a time Lewis went to a poetry night in disguise and then ran into a work colleague.
