The Champ Description

This artwork mean to me a reflection of being on the top in royal colors of purple and gold you get a sense of power and force that cannot be stopped not by any punches, not by any harm, This picture to me is the goal of man, to work, fight and scratch until you reach height you never knew you could reach.

Art & Activism

This artwork means to me the true strength of black people, It's based on Jack Johnson the first black heavyweight of the world. Johnson in life broke through many stereotypes and hardships put on him. The son of enslaved man and woman, to know worldwide and for his time truly free. Free to do what he wants, go where he wants when he pleases. Many causcasians at this time where applaud to see a black man on the top of the world. He to me is a true precursor to black excellence.

Artist Statement

I aspire and will achieve the most valued art name the world will come to know, in every household. The optimistic artist trying to follow my path. In many senses I hope to live forever, beyond the body.
