Street artist CTO (Peter Seaton) joins us for an unfiltered conversation about street art, graffiti politics, and painting walls across Melbourne and beyond.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- His shift from psychedelics and self-discovery into murals
- Learning rope access to paint massive walls safely (and why swing stages scare him)
- Balancing illegal vs legal murals — and why most people don’t know which is which
- How art can be activism, alchemy, and a way to shift collective consciousness
- The Melbourne street art scene and graffiti beef
- The future: sculptures, installations, and big walls in America
This episode is part philosophy, part technical deep dive, and part raw honesty about what it takes to live and breathe street art today.
