"The Future Is Now" is an oil painting and portrait of Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals. The wide receiver for the red birds is the son of former NFL wide receiver Marvin Harrison Sr., who played 13 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. In only his second game in the NFL, Harrison Jr. exploded for 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Expectations are certainly high for the young rookie, and I am very much looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season brings!

It has been a dream of mine to one day see my art displayed in the Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury. On Saturday, October 28, 2023, that dream became a reality. I am extremely honored to have a section of the arena dedicated to my art and I. I am so grateful for this opportunity that the Phoenix Suns have given me to be a part of the team’s history. On this section of the wall are my three huge paintings, along with a video about me playing on a big screen, and my bio. The paintings are of 1970s Suns legends Alvan Adams(number 33), Dick Van Arsdale(number 5), and Paul Wesphal(number 44). Each painting is 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide! See each of the paintings below! I am officially a Phoenix Suns artist!
Remember how much fun it was to make art as children? We didn't worry too much about straight lines or perfect shapes. As we grew older, so-called "rules" were put into our minds about how our artwork is "supposed to look." Suddenly our focus was on being perfect and not breaking those so-called rules. Suddenly making art was no longer fun. If we become as children once again, and make art as we did back then, imagine how much fun it will be. Imagine how beautiful our artwork will become if we focus on creativity rather than perfection. Remember, imperfections will make your art perfect!
