Happy International Women’s Day!

To all the incredible women on the pitch that I’ve had the honor of capturing through my art—your strength, grace, power, and sheer athleticism inspire me with every piece I create. As a dad to a daughter who played the game I know the power of what you do firsthand

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Simply supporting someone produces the bare minimum of effort, fulfillment and sustenance in any relationship. Empowering someone, however, allows for a deeper belief, a stronger conviction/connection and more confidence in oneself to achieve greatly in any circumstance or endeavor.

Go Chiefs.
It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

There is a hole in the world, a void, an emptiness, shaped like the art you haven't made yet.
