Artist Ant Interviews People Fall Series #65: Mohammed Lardhi 9/18/19


Interviewer: Anthony Andujar Jr

Interviewee: Mohammed Lardhi 

Hello and welcome to the Artist Ant Interviews People Fall Series! Welcome to another edition to my latest talks with local and global creatives that are alive, hustling and thriving in their respective crafts! Today I have a special guest that I’ve been following on Instagram for sometime, which has always been an interesting experience. You never know the kind of endeavors that other artists dabble in, nor what they do when they aren’t just putting pen, pencil, or brush to paper or canvas. This individual tends to dabble in cartooning and architecture, which is a good combination for anyone that is an illustrator or painter. Ladies and other worldly beings of cyberspace, please welcome Mohammed Lardhi!
