The Mentor and the Artist

By Wild Iris Video

An artist mentors a young boy who is bullied badly, who himself becomes an accomplished artist. Decades later, the two have developed a deep friendship. They build on their shared experiences to create the You Will Rise Project, which seeks to help students who are bullied develop skills of self-expression by making art.

Step into the weird and wonderful world of artist Paul Richmond, where anything could go down -- even a pin-up boys' pants! We're all a little high on paint fumes around here, so grab a brush and join the painting party!
