Halloween Special! Prolific street artist RX Skulls kindly joined me for a chat where we discuss his world of vibrant skull imagery and unique street art installations. We discuss how a childhood passion for cartoons and comics led him down the path from digital graphic design and photography, how he came to create the iconic skull we know him for now, and how it all came together resulting in a fascinating combination of morbid imagery and beautiful vivid colours.
In this episode we discuss how and where it all begin, and gain a deeper understanding of Rx's artistic evolution and how his love for handmade crafts was rekindled through the tactile nature of street art and screen printing.
We learn about the beginnings that shaped Rx's career, from site-specific college art projects to an eye-opening European adventure that solidified his commitment to street art, and discuss how a supportive global art community, fostered through platforms like Flickr, helped him navigate the challenges, refine his craft and find his people. The Portland street art scene emerges as place where collaboration and shared techniques developed his growth and creativity. RX's stories of camaraderie and connection illustrate the non-gatekeeping spirit that defines the world of street art.
His advice on maintaining authenticity and passion over profit offers a refreshing perspective for aspiring artists. With a strong social media presence and a playful approach to his craft (dad joke faces allowed and encouraged) RX is creating a lasting legacy in the street art community, as he creatively intertwines humor, personal history, and a touch of the macabre into his work.
