Happy holidays from "So You're An Artist"! For this special episode, our 3rd guest ever photographer Jelani Brown Roper takes the mic to fill in for Brock as him and Sathya sit down to interview their former teacher Mick Bender. In pursuit of her passion for fashion (yes, we see what we did there), Mick came to California in the 1970s, and has spent a better part of her life in Venice Beach where she lived in a treehouse, rollerskates, and designs clothing! We chat about all of this and more, including Mick's work for Vidal Sassoon, the CIA, and STAR Prep Academy. If you're interested in contacting Mick or in checking out her work, follow her on Instagram (@weldbaby2) or shoot her an email (weldbaby@gmail.com)! Stay in touch with Jelani via Instagram (@j4ybr) and email (j4ybr.photography@gmail.com) if you're interested in shooting with him!
