Episode 208

He wasn’t looking for fame.
He wasn’t trying to get rich.

Armed with a piece of chalk and a head full of wild ideas, Keith Haring hit the subways of New York like a lightning bolt. While others walked past empty black panels, he filled them with bold, dancing figures — babies, barking dogs, radiant hearts — pulsing with joy, anger, and something else... something deeper.

This wasn’t graffiti. This wasn’t gallery art. It was something in between.

In just a few years, Keith went from street corners to global stages. From underground clubs to children’s hospitals. From subway stations to the Berlin Wall.

He was an artist of the people — and for the people.
And as the AIDS crisis began to steal the lives of his friends — and then his own — Keith kept going. Drawing faster. Bigger. Louder.

This is the story of a boy from Pennsylvania who made the whole world feel something — with just a line.
