In this neighborhood we’re not afraid to say it out loud. This week’s particular spicy topic has seen the industry tiptoe around it like a scaredy cat - until now. It’s not really a secret that the era of copy+ paste creativity is upon us. You can blame the digital age, capitalism, your boss, either way, some people are out here copying talented hard-working people’s work and having the audacity to claim it as their own. And as cultured Olympic gossip queens we * and our VERY talented special guest* have something to say about it okurrr!
On this episode of GITN2IT- we’re joined by our outspoken bestie from Los Angeles Daniel Hermosillo! Daniel is a photographer and digital artist born and raised in LA. Daniel started his creative career with a fine arts background in illustration and overtime found his passion and voice in photography. He’s worked with the likes of Rico Nasty, Kali Uchis, and is looking forward to who’s next!
Together, we get into the future of content creation, our favorite Latines at Paris Fashion Week, the art of belonging , Zoe Saldana’s brothers and sisters, full circle moments (and how they changed the way we view our careers), PLUS why friendship is at the core of our artistic practices 💚
BTW:
This season we’re taking YOUR burning life/art/culture questions and answering them on the next pod 🎙️ PAID SUBSCRIBER BADDIES go drop those hot Qs in the group chat. Can’t wait to see what’s been on your mind 💞
