Mister Morado Talks about his journey as an artist, sculptor, Australia, and racism. Ep.6

In this episode, we talk about Mister Morado's illustrious career as an artist and sculptor. Morado talks about his biggest inspiration being his older sister and trying to best her in every way possible. His first foray into the arts would be by way of painting shoes and other clothing as a teenager. We discussed his entry into the art world through the women he was dating. he talked about having his family's support was another vital key to his success. He later progressed into sculpting when he took a huge gamble in moving to Australia with only $100. His experiences were vast and varied. at times, he would express how being there they treated him like a black god. however, on the other hand, he faced moments of racism when working a menial job and an Asia person asked if he could call him a racial slur. When he decided to come back to America, he started making sculptures for very wealthy individuals in California and beyond. Being in California inspired him to develop an art display in the middle of Hollywood. Achieving this led the way to Holly having its own farmers market. Also, doing this gave him the opportunity to work with Disney. This was not all that it was cracked up to be. here he experienced an immense feeling of not belonging and fitting in because of his youth and culture. This gave him the desire to do to come back home and start a farmer's market. in his hometown of Bricktown, Queens, NY.
