WE VISIT A RENOWN DECONSTRUCTIVE ARTIST WHO LIVES RIGHT HERE IN COLUMBUS.

>> I SPEND MOST OF THE TIME UNORGANIZING THINGS.

SO YOU'RE COMFORTABLE, YOU TRY TO MOVE WITH IT.

>> WE GET INSPIRED BY A TOWN THAT IS CREATING MEMORIES AND HELPING THOSE IN NEED.

I'LL WHIP UP A QUICK AND TASTY TREAT.

AND WE VISIT THE ONLY MUSEUM OF IT'S KIND IN THE WORLD.

THIS AND MORE RIGHT NOW ON, "BROAD & HIGH."

♪♪ ♪♪ >> WELCOME TO "BROAD & HIGH" I AM YOUR HOST KATE QUICKEL.

ROGER WILLIAMS PASSION FOR ART WAS FUELED BY THE NEW YORK ART SCENE OF THE 1970S AND 80S.

WHEN HE MOVED BACK TO COLUMBUS HE CONTINUED TO CREATE RICHLY COLORED WORKS THAT HE DESCRIBES AS UNORGANIZING, POST MODERN ART.

WE VISITED HIM IN HIS MIND BLOWING STUDIO IN OLD TOWN EAST.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

♪♪ >> I AM FROM LOGAN OHIO AND I AM AN ORPHAN.

MY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER WENT OFF ON HIS OWN AND PUT TOGETHER A GREAT, BIG PORTFOLIO OF MY WORK AND THEN SENT IT TO COLUMBUS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN FOR A SCHOLARSHIP.

I STARTED OUT WITH ILLUSTRATION.

THEN I CHANGED IT TO FINE ARTS.

I ENDED UP WITH A FINE ARTS DEGREE.

I WENT TO NEW YORK.

MET SOME OF THE FIRST DECONSTRUCTIVIST ARTIST.

I'VE WORKED FOR ANDY WARHOL.

I COULD LOOK OUT MY STUDIO BACK AND SEE THE FRONT OF HIS STUDIO.

HE DISCOVERED POP ART.

THIS IS DESIGNED MOSTLY AFTER FRANK GERHY, ARCHITECT, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

I'M DECONSTRUCTING POST MODERN ART.

WHAT IS POST MODERN ART?

WHAT IS DECONSTRUCTION OF ART?

YOU TAKE POST MODERN ART AND LIST ALL THE CRITERIONS, RULES AND REGULATIONS OVER HERE -- THEN YOU COME OVER HERE AND SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THIS.

WE'RE GOING TO DECONSTRUCT ALL THAT CRITERION AND THEN YOU COME OUT WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS -- ♪♪ ♪♪ >> WELL FROM FRANK GEHRY, UNREASONABLE AND RANDOM OVERLAPS OF SUBJECT MATTER.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU HAVE A BICYCLE, JUST DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

DROP THE SILHOUETTE OF ANOTHER BICYCLE RIGHT ON TOP.

DON'T TRY TO LOOK FOR THE MEANING.

THE ONLY REASON I PAINT A SUBJECT IS, DO I LIKE IT?

DO I WANT TO PAINT THAT?

IF I RIDE BICYCLES AND GO ON TOURS AND THINGS, WELL I AM GOING TO PAINT BICYCLES.

IT DIDN'T MATTER WHETHER I THINK IT'S GOING TO SELL OR NOT.

IT MATTERS WHETHER I AM REALLY INTERESTED IN PAINTING THE THING.

THEN I GOT INTERESTED IN SPINNERS.

SPINNERS -- THESE ARE SPINNERS.

ALL KINDS OF SPINNERS.

THEN I BECAME A COLLECTOR OF SPINNERS.

SO THEN I'VE GOT SPINNERS EVERYWHERE.

THAT'S POP ART.

WHATEVER EVENT OR OBJECT THAT COMES ALONG, GO AHEAD AND REVERE IT AND THAT'S THE ART.

♪♪ I ALWAYS LIKED BLACK HOLES.

BUT I WANTED TO BRING IT INTO A POSITIVE LIGHT.

SO I AM CALLING THIS A WHITE HOLE.

IT'S A POP ART IMAGE.

IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT SUBJECT TO PAINT.

BUT THEN I PICK OUT VERY DIFFICULT SUBJECTS TO PAINT SO IT MAINTAINS IT'S INTEREST.

I'VE GOT LITTLE HEARTS HERE, SPINNERS.

YOU COULD PRETTY MUCH MAKE UP ANYTHING YOU WANT ABOUT A BLACKHOLE AND PUT IT IN THERE.

THERE'S NO WAY ANYONE COULD PROVE IT OTHERWISE.

AND THEN THIS IS A CLOSE UP OF A BLACK HOLE HERE.

THAT'S JUST -- YOU CROP OUT A CERTAIN PART THAT YOU LIKE AND OYU JUST PAINT IT.

NONE OF THESE ARE SPRAYED.

THEY ARE ALL EITHER ROLLED ON OR BRUSHED ON.

WITH AUTOMOTIVE TAPE.

MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, IT'S BLOCKED OUT SO IT WON'T BLEED.

YOU'VE GOT A REALLY NICE, SHARP LINE.

♪♪ THE WHITE IS NOT REALLY PAINTED ON.

IT DON'T EXIST.

WHAT IT IS, IS YOU PAINT THE PAINTING WHITE AND THEN YOU BLOCK IT OUT WITH TAPE AND THEN PAINT THE PAINTING OVER IT.

THEN WHEN YOU PULL THE TAPE OFF THE WHITE COMES UP.

THAT'S BASICALLY THE GIST.

SO ALONG COME CICADAS, THEY'RE BUZZING ALL OVER THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I SAID I AM GOING TO DO A COUPLE OF THEM.

I DID THE WINGS.

HERE ADDED A GRASSHOPPER BUT THEN I MADE UP ONE.

I DON'T WANT ANYONE LINE TO GO THE SAME DIRECTION OR BE SPACED OUT EVENLY.

TO GET THIS SIMULATION OF ENERGY GOING LIKE THIS -- ♪♪ I DID THIS FOR A NEIGHBOR OF MINE.

THIS IS BELLA DONNA, THE BLACK CAT.

THERE'S A CARTOON AND I ALTERED THIS.

I CHANGED IT INTO MY RENDITION OF THIS CARTOON CHARACTER HERE.

AND THEN THERE'S ABOUT 40 OTHER DIFFERENT CATS IN HERE WITH SPINNERS.

DARK ON LIGHT, LIGHT ON DARK.

A LOT OF LINES.

I SPEND MOST OF THE TIME UNORGANIZING THINGS.

SO YOU'RE COMFORTABLE, YOU TRY TO MOVE WITH IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

IT'S NOT LIKE POST MODERN ART WHERE YOU ORGANIZE.

I AM UNORGANIZING POST MODERN ART.

♪♪ ♪♪ IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE MORE OF ROGER'S WORK GIVE HIM A LIKE ON FACEBOOK AT FACEBOOK.COM/ROGER.J.WILLIAMS1.

♪♪ ♪♪ >> NEXT WE VISIT SPARKS, NEVAD WHERE THE ANNUAL GRISWOLD CHALLENGE ENCOURAGES MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND CREATE DAZZLING HOLIDAY LIGHT DISPLAYS FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY.

♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ >> THE GRISWOLD CHALLENGE STARTED AT A PART OF THE 39 NORTH POLE VILLAGE.

WE CREATED THIS CHALLENGE TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER, BOTH BUSINESSES AND FAMILIES.

TO HAVE A LITTLE STAKE IN THE GAME OF THE NORTHPOLE VILLAGE.

IT'S ALL BASED THE INFAMOUS MR. CLARK GRISWOLD WHO OVERLY DECORATED HIS HOME.

AND WE JUST WANTED TO PAY HOMAGE TO HIM IN OUR 39 NORTH POLE EVENT.

UNFORTUNATELY THE PANDEMIC HAS STOPPED THAT.

WE JUST NEED TO HELP DO OUR PART TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY SAFE.

SO THIS YEAR WHAT WE HAD TO DO WAS TAKE A STEP BACK FROM THE NORTH POLE VILLAGE AND FOCUS SOLELY ON THE GRISWOLD CHALLENGE.

ALLOWING US TO HAVE A VIRTUAL EVENT, WHERE PEOPLE CAN ENTER THEIR HOMES OR BUSINESSES FOR A DONATION OF $20 OR MORE IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

THAT GOES TO THE COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY.

WHICH IS LOCAL IN SPARKS.

♪♪ ♪♪ >> THE COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY IS HERE TO SERVE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING TO MAKE A DECISIO BETWEEN PAYING RENT, BUYING MEDICINE, PUTTING SHOES ON THEIR KIDS FEET, GETTING GAS TO GET TO WORK.

WE'RE HERE TO HELP THEM FILL THAT FOOD GAP THAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING REALLY, REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW.

>> WE DO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT EVENTS THAT WE LIKE TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY.

AND WE GO WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN.

>> ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR.

IT'S BEEN A REALLY HARD YEAR FOR MANY PEOPLE AND THE PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS HELPING THE FOOD PANTTRY FOR CHRISTMAS WILL BE AN EXCELLENT CAUSE.

>> EVERY DOLLAR DONATED THROUGH THE GRISWOLD CHALLENGE, THROUGH THE ENTRY FEES, EVERY DOLLAR WILL BUY THREE MEALS FOR SOMEONE IN -- FOR YOU KNOW IN THE LINE IN THE PANTRY.

AND THAT DOLLAR IS REALLY STRETCHING A LONG WAY.

♪♪ >> YOUR FAMILY, DECORATE YOUR HOME TOGETHER CREATING THOSE MEMORIES.

SAFELY.

YOUR BUSINESS CAN HAVE A TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

INSTEAD OF GOING OUT TO MAYBE A PARTY OR SOMETHING -- YOU GET TOGETHER AND YOU DECORATE YOUR BUSINESS.

>> WHAT WE NOTICED ABOUT THAT STAFF, THEY LOVE TO DECORATE JUST LIKE WE DO.

THEY HAVE THE SAME FOCUS AS US AND THEY WANT TO WIN.

>> THE PRIZES THAT WE ARE OFFERING IS, FIRST PLACE THE CLARK GRISWOLD AWARD.

AND YOU CAN WIN $500 WHETHER YOU'RE A BUSINESS OR RESIDENT.

THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.

THE SECOND PLACE IS THE COUSIN EDDIE AWARD AND THAT IS FOR $250 DOLLARS.

THE CREATIVITY WE GET TO SEE FROM THE INDIVIDUAL CONTESTANTS IS REALLY COOL.

OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE'S DIFFERENT AND EVERYONE BRINGS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO THE TABLE.

SO SEEING ALL THE DISPLAYS TOGETHER, REALLY MAKE IT A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING FROM ONE WHICH MIGHT BE BEAUTIFUL AND WHITE AND PRETTY -- THEN YOU'RE GOING TO THE NEXT DISPLAY WHICH IS QUIRKY AND FUN.

SUPER CHARISMATIC AND CRAZY.

THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE COOL BECAUSE YOU CAN DRIVE AROUND TO THE RESIDENTS AND INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES AND SEE THAT SAME EFFECT.

JUST ON A MUCH LARGER SCALE.

SO THAT'S GOING TO GOING TO BE FUN TO SEE HOW EVERYONE'S BUSINESSES DO THEMES.

OR NOT DO THEMES.

JUST GAUDY IT UP WITH LIGHTS.

I MEAN THAT'S WHAT CLARK GRISWOLD DID.

>> I'D SAY WE'RE GOING TO CHANNEL OUR INNER GRISWOLD BY BRINGING OUT MR. GRISWOLD HIMSELF.

WE HAVE A LOT OF LIGHTS UP RIGHT NOW AND THIS MORNING WE BOUGHT ANOTHER 2,000 LIGHTS.

[ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S GOING TO BE GOING BACK UP ON THE BUILDING BEHIND US.

>> I WOULD SAY CLOSE TO ABOUT 10,00 LIGHTS ARE GOING TO GO UP.

>> I THINK A LOT OF CAN RELATE TO NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION.

BECAUSE IT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN HOLIDAY FUNNY MOVIES THAT EXISTED, ACTUALLY EVER.

CLARK GRISWOLD REALLY KIND OF HELPED CREATE THE FUN SIDE OF THE HOLIDAYS AND SHOWCASING THAT YOU CAN BE WILD WITH DECORATIONS AND IT'S OKAY.

♪♪ ♪♪ >> WE'RE BACK WITH ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF "KATE'S QUICK BITES."

WHO DOESN'T LIKE SWEET, SALTY AND CRUNCHY?

IF YOU ALSO LIKE QUICK AND EASY, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU.

AND, IF YOU CAN KEEP FROM EATING ALL OF THEM YOURSELF THEY MAKE A GREAT GIFT FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

♪♪ >> CAN USE A BIGGER CUTTING BOARD AND A BIGGER KNIFE.

LIKE HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW THE NUTS BEING CHOPPED?

TWO SECONDS.

[ LAUGHTER ] ♪♪ >> ON TODDAY'S EDITION OF "KATE'S QUICK BITES" WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A SWEET AND SALTY TREAT FROM MY CHILDHOOD, THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.

IT'S CALL MYSTERY BRICKLE.

AND THAT'S PRETTY INTRIGUING.

YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING WHAT IS BRICKLE?

AND WHAT MAKES IT A MYSTERY?

THIS IS BASICALLY A CANDY.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A TOFFEE AND THE SECRET -- THE THING THAT MAKES IT A MYSTERY, THE BASE IS SALTINE CRACKERS.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE MYSTERY BRICKLE.

FOR THIS RECIPE YOU WILL NEED ABOUT 48 SALTINE CRACKERS.

ENOUGH TO LINE A SHEET PAN.

YOU'LL NEED TWO STICKS OF UNSALTED BUTTER.

ONE CUP OF LIGHT BROWN SUGAR.

ABOUT 12-18 OUNCES OF SEMISWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

ONE CUP OF CHOPPED NUTS, PECANS OR WALNUTS.

A LITTLE BIT OF FLAKY SEA SALT.

TO START YOU WANT TO PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO 350 DEGREES AND THEN TAKE A LARGE RIMMED BAKING SHEET AND WRAP IT WITH TINFOIL.

THE REASON YOU WANT IT TO BE RIMMED, YOU DON'T WANT TO USE ONE OF THOSE FLAT ONES WITHOUT EDGES -- IS 'CAUSE WE'RE GOING TO POUR BUBBLY HOT CARAMEL ON HERE AND YOU DON'T WANT IT TO JUST RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE.

ONCE YOUR PAN IS PREPPED WITH TINFOIL AND COOKING SPRAY -- WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ALL OUR SALTINES AND WE'RE GOING TO LINE THEM UP IN AN EVEN LAYER.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE BASE OF THE BRICKLE.

♪♪ WHEN YOU GET TO THE EDGE OF YOUR PAN AND YOU CAN'T FIT A WHOLE CRACKER THERE, I JUST SORT OF BREAK EACH SALTINE IN HALF AND LINE THEM UP THERE, TO FILL IN THOSE GAPS.

YOU CAN USE BROKEN CRACKERS FOR THAT AND YOU'RE ALREADY TO GI, THE NEXT STEP FOR OUR MYSTERY BRICKLE IS TO MAKE THE DELICIOUS, GOOEY CARAMEL MIDDLE OF THE CANDY.

SO WE'VE GOT A SAUCE PAN OVER MEDIUM HEAT, WE'RE GOING TO ADD TWO STICKS OF BUTTER.

BECAUSE, HELLO -- HOW ELSE WOULD IT BE DELICIOUS?

AND ONE CUP OF LIGHT BROWN SUGAR.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO BRING THE BUTTER AND SUGAR TO A BOIL AND IT WILL GET REALLY BUBBLY AND THICK AND YOU WANT IT TO BOIL AT THAT RATE FOR ABOUT THREE MINUTES, UNTIL IT'S REALLY THICK.

BOILING IS ALREADY STARTED.

CAN FEEL THE BUBBLES HAPPENING.

SO THE BUTTER AND SUGAR HAVE MELTED, IT'S COME TO A PRETTY RAPID BOIL.

NOW I AM LETTING IT BOIL FOR ABOUT THREE MINUTES.

IT'S REALLY BUBBLY AND YOU CAN SEE IT GET KIND OF FOAMY AND THICK.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS MAGICAL BUBBLING GOODNESS AND POUR IT IN AN EVEN LAYER OVER OUR CRACKERS.

WHILE IT'S STILL REALLY HOT, WE'RE GOING TO SPREAD IT AROUND.

SO IT COATS ALL THE CRACKERS PRETTY EVENLY.

SO OUR CARAMEL IS EVENLY SPREAD OUT, NOW WE'RE GOING TO POP IT IN THE OVEN FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.

UNTIL THE MIXTURE BOILS AGAIN AND THE CRACKERS KIND OF FLOAT.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE PAN OUT OF THE OVEN, BECAUSE THE CRACKERS ARE FLOATING, THE MIXTURE HAS BOILED AGAIN.

NOW, WE'RE GOING TO ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS ALL OVER.

♪♪ ♪♪ BACK IN THE OVEN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE.

SO THE CHOCOLATE CHIPS CAN SOFTEN AND WE CAN SPREAD THEM AROUND.

ALL RIGHT SO THEY'VE COME OUT OF THE OVEN.

THE CHOCOLATE CHIPS HAVE MELTED.

YOU CAN SEE HOW SOFT THEY ARE, THEY'RE JUST GOING TO TAKE A SIMPLE SPREAD AND THEIR GOING TO SPREAD ALL OVER THE CRACKERS.

THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR CHOCOLATEY TOPPING.

I LIKE TO USE AN OFFSET SPATULA IT'S REALLY HELPFUL FOR SPREADING STUFF LIKE THIS.

BUT YOU CAN USE A KNIFE OR ANY KIND OF SPATULA YOU HAVE.

SO WE'VE GOT OUR SMOOTHED OUT TOP.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO ADD OUR TOPPINGS.

SO I AM GOING TO DO THEM IN THIRDS.

SO I AM DOING 1/3 WITH NUTS.

1/3 WITH SALT AND 1/3 WITH SPRINKLES.

BECAUSE I THINK THAT WILL BE KIND OF FUN AND THEN YOU HAVE DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO OFFER PEOPLE.

SO I AM GOING TO ADD SOME CHOPPED PECANS ON THIS SECTION.

I AM GOING TO DO FLAKY SEA SALT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

FOR THE SALTY SWEET SECTION.

AND JUST TO GET A LITTLE COLORFUL AND CRAZY, I AM GOING TO DO SPRINKLES.

'CAUSE I THINK THAT'S KIND OF FUN.

NOW YOU'VE A DESSERT BASICALLY THREE WAYS.

AND THEN WE'RE DONE WITH OUR TOPPINGS.

AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO DIG INTO IT NOW, IT'S WAY TOO HOT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO LET IT COOL COMPLETELY.

POP IT IN THE FRIDGE AND LET IT SIT IN THERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.

UNTIL IT'S FIRM AND YOU CAN BASICALLY BREAK THEM INTO PIECES, AND THEN YOU GET TO EAT THEM.

♪♪ >> FIND THIS AND MORE RECIPES AT WOSU.ORG/KATESQUICKBITES.

♪♪ >> OUR NEXT STORY IS ABOUT WHAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED THE WORLD'S LARGEST ARTFORM.

ALTHOUGH IT'S ONLY BEEN IN GALLERIES SINCE THE 1980S.

IT WAS ALSO ONCE CONSIDERED VANDALISM.

BUT HAS NOW BECOME ACCEPTED AND EVEN DESIRED.

THE MUSEUM OF GRAFFITI IN FLORIDA PRESENTS THE GRAFFITI ART MOVEMENT FROM THE EARLY DAYS TO THE PRESENT DAY.

WHILE HIGHLIGHTING ITS EVOLUTION AND IMPACT.

♪♪ >> MY NAME IS ALAN KET AND I AM THE COFOUNDER OF THE MUSEUM OF GRAFFITI.

>> ALISON FREIDIN, I AM THE COFOUNDER OF THE MUSEUM OF GRAFFITI IN MIAMI FLORIDA.

>> THE MUSEUM OF GRAFFITI IS THE ONLY MUSEUM OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD.

WE GIVE CONTEXT TO THE WALLS THAT YOU MIGHT SEE WHEN YOU WALK AROUND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EXHIBITION THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE ON DISPLAY IS CALLED "STYLE MASTERS: THE BIRTH OF GRAFFITI ART MOVEMENT" AND THAT EXHIBITION TAKES YOU FROM 1970 WHEN THIS WAS AN ARTFORM STARTED BY KIDS TAGGING THEIR NAMES ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY AND PHILADELPHIA AND LOS ANGELES.

AND SHOWS HOW IT EVOVLED FROM SIMPLE PRINT WRITING ON WALLS AND ON TRAINS TO AN ART FORM THAT STARTED TO HAVE STYLE.

AND THEN WE GO INTO THE EMERGENCE OF THESE ARTISTS INTO THE ART GALLERIES.

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

WHY DID THAT HAPPEN?

YOU GET TO SEE ORIGINAL WORKS OF ART CREATED IN THE 1980S AND WE CONTINUE ALONG THIS TIME LINE TO SHOW THE EMERGENCE OF THIS ARTFORM IN MIAMI.

WE GO THROUGH THE 90S, 2000S, NOW AS IT MOVES OUT OF NEW YORK CITY, TRAVELS ACROSS THE WORLD.

HERE IN AMERICA GOES ONTO FREIGHT TRAINS AND CRISS CROSSES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND INTRODUCES THIS YOUTHFUL ARTFORM TO AUDIENCES EVERYWHERE.

WHAT SEPARATES GRAFFITI FROM ANY OTHER ARTFORM IS THE DESIRE FOR THE MASTERY OF LETTERS.

HOW TO BEND THEM AND TWEAK THEM.

ENLARGE THEM AND MAKE THEM YOUR OWN.

SO SOME PEOPLE TALK ABOUT STREET ART, THEY ASK -- WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STREET ART AND GRAFFITI?

WELL STREET ART HAS TO DO MORE WITH IMAGERY.

GRAFFITI IS ABOUT LETTERING.

>> SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS A SIGHT SPECIFIC MURAL BY DEFER FROM LOS ANGELES.

WHAT WE TEACH ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY AT THE MUSEUM OF GRAFFITI IS HOW LOOKING AT EACH ONE OF THESE WALLS CAN GIVE YOU CONTEXT CLUES TO WHERE THESE ARTISTS ARE FROM.

FOR INSTANCE IN THIS WALL YOU CAN SEE HOW DEFER INCORPORATES INSPIRATION OF LOS ANGLES GANG GRAFFITI.

BY TAKING SOMETHING SOCIETY TYPICALLY LOOKS AS BITTER, OR AS VIOLENT -- HE MAKES IT BEAUTIFUL.

AND WE LIKE TO COMPARE THIS OR CONTRAST IT TO THIS WALL BY JOHN ONE.

AND JOHN ONE WAS A TRAIN PAINTER.

HE DID HUGE PIECES ON THE SUBWAYS IN NEW YORK CITY.

AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT HOW TWO GRAFFITI WRITERS WHO ARE DOING THE SAME GENRE OF ART CAN HAVE SUCH A DIFFERENT TAKE.

♪♪ >> THIS IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST ARTFORM.

IT HAS PRACTIONEERS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

THAT FACT THAT IT'S SORT OF EXPANDING AND GOING ALL OVER THE WORLD AND VERY OPEN TO ANYBODY PICKING IT UP AND ADDING SOMETHING TO IT -- HAS STARTED TO CHANGE THE PERCEPTION OF THIS BEING PURELY A -- VANDAL'S MOVEMENT, TO AN ARTFORM THAT IS CELEBRATED AND ACCEPTED GLOBALLY AND DESIRED GLOBALLY.

>> COMMUNITIES HAVE WOKEN UP AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

WHICH IS THAT SOCIAL NORM AND CULTURAL NORMS HAVE SHIFTED JUST THE WAY THEY'VE DONE IN OTHER AREAS OF LOW LEVEL CRIMES, PEOPLE ARE OPENING UP OF SEEING THE BENEFIT OF INCLUDING THIS TYPE OF ARTFORM WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

♪♪ >> MY PERSONAL HISTORY, I AM FROM NEW YORK CITY.

I STARTED PAINTING IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK AS A TEENAGER IN THE 1980S I PAINTED EXCLUSIVELY ILLEGALLY.

PAINTED THE TRAINS, PAINTED THE WALLS, AND I'VE GOTTEN ARRESTED.

IT DIDN'T DISSUADE ME FROM BEING A PARTICIPANT IN THIS ART MOVEMNT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT IN MADE ME SORT OF MORE ENTRENCHED.

THE MUSEUM OF GRAFFITI TODAY IS SORT OF THE PROJECT THAT I DREAM OF.

I WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THAT NORMALLY WOULD NOT GIVE THEIR ARTWORK TO ANYBODY -- TO ALLOW ME TO HAVE IT, BECAUSE THEY TRUSTED ME.

THEY KNOW ME AS A MEMBMER OF THE COMMUNITY.

THIS ARTFORM HAS NOT BEEN CELEBRATED BY MUSEUMS IN THE PAST.

WE HAD TO MAKE OUR OWN MUSEUM.

>> IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN THE AREA YOU CAN PLAN YOUR VISIT BY GOING TO MUSEUMOFGRAFFITI.COM.

>> WELL THAT'S OUR SHOW.

REMEMBER YOU CAN FIND ALL OF SHOWS ONLINE AT WOSU.ORG AS WELL AS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

AND MY FRIEND ZACH JUST KIND OF YELLS OUT OF NOWHERE -- NO, YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP IT SIMPLE SOCKS.

>> MICHAEL CAME TO ME, I REMEMBER A SPECIFIC NIGHT IN APRIL, WE WERE HANGING OUT.

HE HAD TOLD ME THE IDEA FOR IT MONTHS AGO, WHEN IT WAS JUST KIND OF AN IDEA THAT WASN'T REAL.

BUT HE TOLD ME HE WAS REALLY GOING TO START IT.

SO YEAH WE DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND REALLY DIG IN TO WHAT DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING AND THAT TYPE OF THING WOULD LOOK LIKE.

E-COMMERCE.

THEN WE LAUNCHED IN NOVEMBER OF THAT YEAR.

♪♪ SO ALL OF THE DESIGN WORK IS DONE HERE -- OBVIOUSLY BY US, IN HOUSE.

AND THEN WHAT IS NOT PRODUCED HERE IS THE ACTUAL SOCKS.

SO WE HAVE A MANUFACTURER OVERSEAS.

WE DON'T DO ANY PACKAGING OVERSEAS.

YOU KNOW WE PACKAGE THEM ALL HERE.

WE LIKE TO PUT INDIVIDUAL NOTES IN EVERY, YOU KNOW -- IN YOUR FIRST SUBSCRIPTION.

IT JUST GIVES MORE OF A PERSONAL TOUCH I SUPPOSE.

>> WE REALLY DECIDED WE WANTED TO DO ONE THING AND DO IT REALLY, REALLY WELL.

AND AS WE GROW AND GROW IF WE GET TO A POINT -- WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO START OUR OWN MANUFACTURING AND DO IT ALL IN HOUSE.

WHICH WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY COOL.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE OUR EYE IS ON IN THE FUTURE.
