Jay Wheeler Part 2

Welcome to Proper Mental episode 90 part 2 with Jay Wheeler, a former soldier and street artist who creates under the name Love Art Global.

After 15 years in the army and multiple tours overseas, Jay was medically discharged with a diagnosis of PTSD.

In part 2, Jay’s story carries on from where we left off in the previous episode.

We chat about Jay discovering art and how that started to bring him back to life.

Jay tells me about his now infamous LOVE tag, the meaning behind it and the effect it’s had on his life and the lives of others.

We chat about tagging around Europe, connecting with others, the importance of self-love and learning to be well again.

We also chat about Fudge, who is Jay’s dog and best friend, and the part that she plays in Jay’s recovery.  And we chat about Jay’s love of the A-Team and he tells me an amazing story about his hero Mr T!

Jay is an incredible man who has been to hell and back several times over but continues to spread love around the world with his art.

It was an honour and a privilege to hear him tell his story and I can’t thank him enough for his time and his friendship.
