This week, we talk to Anthony “Cable” Duenas and Shaun “Modem” Rankin, two mural artists in Tacoma who’s work has recently been painted over by religiously motivated people. We also talk about Miss Cleo (again), and… swimwear.
If you would like to see the work of the artists we interviewed, you can check out “Modem_Oner” on Instagram, which might be available here.
We already linked to a Miss Cleo story.
