Show Notes
On the latest episode of the ArtiGras Podcast, we sit down with Cruise Bogle, Artist & Founder/President of the Cruisey Baby Initiative. Born on a sailboat in the Caribbean and later navigating life after a spinal cord injury, Cruise shares how art became both a lifeline and a platform for connection. From painting with his mouth to launching the “Weirdo” series inspired by mental health journeys, his story is one of resilience, creativity, and community impact.
This conversation explores how Cruise channels his coastal upbringing into vibrant, nautical-inspired artwork, why he embraces authenticity in his creative process, and how he’s built a movement through Cruiser Palooza and the Cruisey Baby Initiative. Together, we reflect on the power of art to heal, to connect, and to inspire people to see possibility in the face of challenge.
