The Change-Up: Painted Ceiling Tiles Lore

Liam Barrett, Online Managing Editor • Nov 10, 2023

A one on one interview with the man behind most of WJ’s painted ceiling tiles; Mr. Ryan Martinez.

Hosted by Liam Barrett

Thank you to Ryan Martinez for agreeing to be interviewed, and a huge thanks to the Walter Johnson Pep Band for composing the introduction song. The outro song is Somewhere Someone, which you can find on SoundCloud at MartinezSenior.

P.S: I’m aware the audio isn’t the best at the end, my daily Krisp minutes ran out the night before it was posted. Sorry.
