Shownotes Transcript

Joseph Perez is known to many as Sentrock – the muralist and street artist whose work can be experienced on walls, in illustrations, and as action figures across Chicago and the U.S. You’d probably recognize his signature character, a boy with a red bird mask named the Bird City Saint.

In this episode, the artist talks with The Rundown podcast host Erin Allen about his childhood and storytelling that inspire his work – and how it manifested into a three-room exhibit at the Elmhurst Art Museum.
