Thomas "Breeze" Marcus: Muralist and Studio Artist - Epi. 348, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Thomas "Breeze" Marcus on the podcast today. He goes by
Breeze and in fact, his name is really kind of synonymous to the
type of imagery that he does in his fine art paintings. 


This guy is just so unique. I had such a fun time with this
podcast because it was one of those where it's a full
conversation, not just an artist's biography. It made me think
about where we're going and about things that I may never have
even thought about in regard to art and when that happens I find
it extremely enjoyable.


It just scratches that itch, you know? The itch that I get when
trying to understand someone as complex as Breeze. From being a
graffiti artist and what that entails and where that world
catapulted him, to doing murals for big cities and big museums.
He did one for Western Spirit: Scottsdale's Museum of the West
that is tremendous. I recommend people go and visit this mural as
its an ode to his people (O'odham) but also a tribute to Ed Mell,
who he respected and was mentored by. 


This podcast that might change the way you look at graffiti art
and murals and even Native art as a whole. Breeze is a very
unique person, an important artist, and you'll be hearing a lot
more about his work in the future.
