     Hello and welcome to the Artist Ant Interviews People Summer Series! Today I have a special interviewee who I once met on the day of my birthday. I was with some friends and we were meeting up with another friend who worked at a yogurt/ ice cream shop of sorts. During the hangout, we happened to cross paths and had exchanged conversation about art. We exchanged information, and I left him a piece of art which featured him with the powers of one of his favorite comic book characters. Since then I’ve discovered that he is an artist, and so much more underneath the umbrella and title.

     This individual is the creator of his own brands such as Dolo Art LLC, Doloart95, and Projectdolo.com. He is a globe trotting muralist, travelling the states and aiming to travel further beyond where no local New York muralist has gone before and he is also a rapper!  He is a man of a few words, and although you readers are used to the 23 to 30 question format, I had to reduce it for this one since he is immensely busy in his craft. So, for your reading pleasure, Ladies, Gents, Robots, and everyone on this digital landscape that we call the internet, Please welcome, Dolo!
