This week on Visual Noise: Walls Talk, hosts TRP613 and Urban Ninja head north to Alaska for a conversation with sticker artist Devil Roy. Working in one of the most remote street art scenes in North America, Devil Roy has carved out a unique place in the sticker community, proving that you don't need to live in a major city to make an impact.
The episode explores what it's like creating and distributing street art in Alaska, where long winters, extreme weather, and smaller urban centres present a completely different experience from cities like Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal. Despite the challenges, artists continue to build connections through sticker trades, travel, and social media, keeping Alaska connected to the global sticker movement.
TRP613 and Urban Ninja sit down with Devil Roy to discuss how they first got into sticker art, the inspiration behind the name, and what motivates them to keep putting work into the streets. They also talk about the importance of building relationships with artists across North America, trading stickers, and how even artists in the most remote places become part of a worldwide creative community.
The conversation dives into the evolution of sticker culture, the thrill of finding your work in unexpected places, and the respect that comes from consistently getting up. Devil Roy shares stories from Alaska's underground art scene, discusses favorite materials and printing methods, and reflects on the friendships that have grown through years of trading and supporting fellow artists.
Whether you're an artist, collector, or someone fascinated by street culture, Episode 15 offers a fresh perspective on how creativity thrives far beyond the world's biggest cities. Join TRP613, Urban Ninja, and Devil Roy for an inspiring conversation about stickers, community, and keeping the culture alive—no matter how far north you are.
