The podcast is titled in a way that allows me to and reminds me to explore many avenues that I find interesting - bikes and cyclocross, but also art and music and photography. Hence, "The Cross Section". In the spirit of the goal to explore a wide-range of topics, for Episode 3 I reached out to someone who checks a lot of the boxes that pique my interest. He is an artist I have known only in the sense of IG posts, comments, DM’s and emails but I have never actually had the chance to meet and talk with in person and this is the next best thing.

I first encountered his work at the Breadwinner Cycles Cafe a couple of years ago. His work is really wonderful. As with all artists who evolve and change, his current period is one of geometry and balance and feels very mid-century. Additionally he is a talented self-taught musician (who is actually crafting new, original theme music for the show) as well as a skier and cyclist. He does large murals, custom paints bikes, wheels, windows, walls and whatever else you can think of. Follow him on INSTAGRAM and check out his WEBSITE to see more of his work.

Once we got rolling, day turned to night and I discovered we have many parallel interests and passions. We talked art, music, fixed-gear riding and went down a variety of rabbit holes. Thanks for listening in! Please subscribe and rate and review the show wherever you source your podcasts!

Man, I'm stoked to have you here to hang out with me and Chet Malinow. I think you’ll like it.
