Mario Moore Recommends Richard Lewis for webpage from Cedric Tai on Vimeo.
These webpages are courtesy of thedetroiter.com, we asked local artists who their favorite local artists were (who didn’t and may have never had their own webpage), when names popped up more than a few times, they were honored with a page. Each artist gets to choose the next artist. Richard has chosen Sabrina Nelson.
