From NYC Graffiti to Georgia Roots: An In-Depth Artist Talk with Carlesto624

Join Aaron Jack for an inspiring and raw conversation with multi-disciplinary artist Carlesto624 (also known as George). In this hour-long discussion, we dive deep into his creative evolution—from his education at NYC’s FIT and his pro-skateboarding days to his unique fusion of fashion photography and graffiti culture.

George shares powerful personal insights on the importance of unity, the mentorship of his wife Genevieve713, and how he navigated the challenges of returning to his Southern roots to find creative peace. We also take an exclusive look at his iconic Bob Marley and Rihanna pieces, his mural work in Atlanta, and the "Old New York" series.
