Visual Noise: Walls Talk - Dogma Slaps

Visual Noise: Walls Talk - Dogma Slaps

In this episode of Visual Noise: Walls Talk, TRP613 and Urban Ninja sit down with Toronto street artist DOGMA, a creator who has carved out a unique space in the city's sticker and wheatpaste scene. Known for his unmistakable dog character and thought-provoking street interventions, DOGMA's work can be found layered throughout Toronto's urban landscape. His project, Dogma Slaps, has become a recognizable part of the city's ever-changing visual conversation. What makes DOGMA's work stand out isn't just the image itself—it's the way he embraces the temporary nature of street art and turns it into part of the creative process. While many artists see tags and vandalism as the end of a piece, DOGMA sees them as the beginning of something new. One of his most innovative techniques is what he calls "Invisislaps." These stickers are protected with a removable clear top coat. When someone tags, scribbles on, or damages the sticker, DOGMA peels away the protective layer, taking the vandalism with it and revealing a fresh sticker underneath. The result is a constantly evolving piece of street art that can be reborn again and again. It's a clever response to the reality that street art lives in a public space where nothing stays untouched for long. Throughout the conversation, DOGMA shares stories from the streets of Toronto, discusses the philosophy behind his work, and explains how repetition, visibility, and adaptation have become central themes in his art. His iconic dog image has become more than just a character—it's a symbol that keeps reappearing across the city, surviving weather, tags, and time itself. This episode explores creativity, impermanence, and the strange life cycle of street art. From stickers and wheatpastes to innovative techniques like Invisislaps, DOGMA proves that sometimes the best way to fight the streets is to work with them. Tune in for a conversation about art, resilience, and finding new ways to leave your mark on the city. Music credit: “Funk Groove Music” by Alex Gus via Pixabay [https://pixabay.com/]

Visual Noise: Walls Talk - StickerEddie

In episode 3 of Visual Noise: Walls Talk, TRP and Urban Ninja head deep into the streets of Los Angeles to sit down with legendary sticker artist and wheatpaste veteran Sticker Eddie. A longtime force in the LA underground art scene, Eddie has spent more than a decade covering alleyways, utility boxes, abandoned buildings, and hidden corners of the city with his unmistakable style and relentless hustle. From late-night sticker missions to massive wheatpaste runs, Eddie talks about the evolution of LA street culture and how the city itself became his canvas. The episode dives into the gritty realities of street art life — dodging security, dealing with buff crews, building respect in the scene, and staying active through changing trends and social media waves. TRP and Ninja explore Eddie’s influence on the LA art community, where his work became more than just stickers on walls. His pieces helped shape the visual identity of parts of the city, inspiring younger artists to experiment with stickers, paste-ups, and DIY street campaigns. Eddie reflects on how street art in Los Angeles transformed over the years, from underground crews and photocopied slaps to today’s mix of murals, branding, and internet fame. The conversation is raw, funny, and honest, packed with stories from rooftops, train yards, art battles, and nights that only street artists could survive. Episode 3 captures the spirit of street art culture — the obsession with getting up, the friendships built in the shadows, and the constant noise of creativity echoing through city walls.

Visual Noise: Walls Talk - Intro

Welcome to the very first episode of Visual Noise: Walls Talk — the podcast where the streets get a voice. Hosted by TRP613 and Urban Ninja, this episode dives headfirst into the world of street art, graffiti, stickers, wheatpaste, hidden spots, late-night missions, and the lifestyles that come with it. From slap tags on traffic poles to massive murals and crumbling alleyway paste-ups, TRP613 and Urban Ninja talk about what pulls artists to the streets, the stories behind the work, and why public art hits differently when it’s raw, temporary, and real. But Walls Talk isn’t just about paint and glue — it’s about life. The struggles, the laughs, the adventures, the people you meet, and the strange freedom that comes from creating outside the lines. This first episode sets the tone for the series: honest conversations with artists, creators, and outsiders who see the city as a canvas instead of a backdrop. The city is talking. We’re just holding the mic. Music credit: “Funk Groove Music” by Alex Gus via Pixabay [https://pixabay.com/]
