Illustrator Nikkolas Smith on Using His Art to Support Black Lives Matter and Enact Change

This week on the My Modern Met Top Artist podcast (https://podcast.mymodernmet.com/), we interview illustrator Nikkolas Smith. Nikkolas' work became particularly prominent in the wake of the George Floyd murder and subsequent protests, as he uses his art to support Black Lives Matter. We chat with Smith about the meaning behind his "ARTivism" and discuss how sketching each Sunday and posting it online changed his life.
