Show Notes

Street artists are calling for clearer rules around their craft, after one prominent artist was charged.

Wellington Central MP Tamatha Paul has voiced support for prolific graffiti artist Karl Truell - aka 'Pork' - after he was fined in Auckland.

Auckland street artist Jesse Jensen says there's no spaces for people to paint legally - and changes need to be made.

"There just isn't an outlet, it's like how skating used to be - now you've got skate parks. Well, where's the art parks?"
