June 25, 2009. I will never forget that day....My favorite childhood, teenhood and adulthood singer, legendary entertainer Michael Jackson was killed at the age of 50. Sorry for the people sensitive to that word, but let's say it plain now....he was murdered. This was an icon like no other. He spent 45 of his 50 years entertaining. Singing, dancing and giving his all to provide a sense of escape. From being the lead singer of The Jackson Five and The Jacksons, to the legendary solo superstar, his half century on this Earth won't be forgotten. I drew this pic of MJ two years ago, on the ten year anniversary of his death. I hope you all enjoy.

Happy halfday to me!!!!! It is June 24th 2021, meaning it's been six months since my last birthday, and six months until my birthday. To celebrate, GOAT Nation we are having a Cash App Giveaway.

Coffee. That is the brown liquid that most people in the world are fueled by...It gets their day going. None know this better than myself. Not personally but by upbringing. My dad is a coffee head, so is my sis. Both are connoisseurs of the caffeinated beverage. Me myself...I'm a tea connoisseur. There have been mornings where a cup of coffee does me good. But coffee goes through me too quick, ya feel me? The universe placed me in the position to try out this Liquid Microdose Coffee from the company Javy. Want to see how it all played out?

Happy Father's Day, 2021. I am so appreciative to the Most High for blessing me with a man who has been there for me my ENTIRE life as write this blog. A man who chose to be there for, wanted to be there for me and needed to be there for me. My dad, who I love. My dad, who with my late mom, conceived and brought me into this world. I have witness the ups and downs, highs and lows and triumphs in my dad's life. He's worked hard and continues to work hard to this day. I try my best to show him and tell him that everything he do is worth it. I wish he and my mom had more kids, as of now I haven't became a father yet, so the future of both families combine is still within me. Through marriage, love and bonding, he is a grandfather, a great-grandfather. That legacy stands strong. I want to do my part to ensure that what he instilled in me doesn't end with me and that he gets to see it realized.  When my dad was my current age, I was 14. I had began forming greater opinio

Juneteenth 2021 was a great day. Not for the fact that it is now a federal holiday, but because we as Tha GOAT Nation celebrated having 1,408 citizens on YouTube. It will be a awhile until we reach that here on this platform, but I am ready for the challenge. I was joined by my good friend Lady Capricorn Tarot, a New York based intuitive tarot reader. Together we joined forces of art and tarot reading to create this dope livestream. Shoutouts to the ladies who got their reading (and art) done. Also shoutouts to those who was there in the live chat, and those in the playback.  Contact Lady Capricorn Tarot HERE: https://ladycapricorn-tarot.com/ Enjoy the video!!!

This video was made to calm the most ferocious of souls, to keep negativity out and to put all who listen to it at ease. I appreciate each and everyone of you that listens to this joint and in hopefulness that it does the intended job. Stay blessed up my GOAT Nation and rise into an aura of positivity and peacefulness.

No one can tell me they love black people and would actually want Juneteenth to be a federal holiday. That puts that event, that commemoration now in the hands of the government and all the corporations that wasn't making that Juneteenth money....can now do it at will. The people who have been selling Juneteenth items for years, for DECADES will be skimped to the side and seen as  BOOTLEG  because "REAL" Juneteenth items will be at Walmart, Target, and all the other commercialized stores. N ow the descendants of the oppressors and those who govern the laws that still oppress us....get to have a day off because it took Texas two years to tell victims of generational torture and servitude that slavery was over. Smh. You may ask, "how to fight this, now that Juneteenth is a federal holiday?" Simple......go and support those that have been producing Juneteenth items all of this time. If you don't know to find it, search for it!! Better yet, here is a site right

Masters of the Universe jumpstarted the glorious decade that was the 1980s for kids. In 1981, the Mattel toyline debuted. By 1989 kids were playing with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Playmates and the new Game Boy by Nintendo, along with its home console, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). This decade was the decade of my birth, and God blessed me with two parents that gave me a great childhood. Part of that childhood, a tremendously part was collecting the toys of the shows we watched. My niece tells me my generation was brainwashed, (lol) perhaps we were, in the same sense my parents' generation was brainwashed to believe Cadillac was THE best car to have and you are SOMEBODY with it (hint: We are GREAT with or without it). My niece is first generation SpongeBob viewer by the way. (lol) I lost the majority of everything I collected throughout my childhood and my early 30s when I lost my storage in 2017. Whoever got that storage got a King's Ransom. It hurts to think

Nearly a decade ago, in late 2011, I met the woman who would become C. Sam Read, children's book author. We met through a mutual friend, he told me about her via Facebook. She wanted me to bring to life her idea for a children's book. This children's book would be the first I would illustrate. We collaborated on the first two books of the Patches series. We began in late 2012. At the time I started working on the series, everything was as it should be....and then, the darkest day ever occured. November 6, 2012. As I type, it has now been 3,146 days since my mom died. After that, it took a good while to get back into wanting to do anything. Thinking back on that period, I honestly can't believe I didn't go off like a nuke. What kept me from doing just that was the fact I wanted to preserve her legacy....losing myself would go against the man she and my dad raised me to be...the man who I am.  When I think of these two books...I think of the fact that I pushed out th

Over 2 years ago, I drew this amazing tribute to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In 2019 the TMNT celebrated 35 years since their first comic was published by creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. If you are a fan of the TMNT, share this blog and comment below your memories of the Lean Green Fighting Machine.

Superheroes. Spirituality. Would you have ever connected the two? It all depends on your level of awareness. Capitol SAGE is very aware. Yesterday Sage The Plug, aka Capitol SAGE presented an idea to me, therefore sparking the conversation that will be shown in this livestream. As I type this, it is now 1:30 p.m. EST hours before the livestream begins. I speak in a place of not knowing how deep the conversation goes and how far we expand beyond the possibilities presented. I am looking forward to exploring it all with you my GOAT Nation. Superheroes are the modern mythology. Characters with vast powers doing extreme heroics. For what purpose? Superheroes are the inflated embodiment of the human spirit. All that we want to be in life can be showcased within a superhero. Outside of powers, what makes Superman the greatest? We will speak on it further in the livestream. Thank y'all for reading! PLEASE FOLLOW!!! 😎

If I Can, I will. This is a mantra I made for myself years ago. But it wasn't until yesterday (6.11.2021) that it truly clicked. This came with each day since my near death in 2020 listening to like-minded individuals who deal with spiritually and affirmations. None of us are perfect....NONE of us are. Perfection is not what we seek, it is acceptance of who we truly are once doubting ourselves and our God-given power of self has awaken. As I type these words at 5:05 a.m. I think about this amazing video I made to accompany the poem I made for the mantra. I hope that you all enjoy this mantra throughout all time. May it resonate within you as it has me. Set your vibrations high and enjoy the ride. One love.

2020 was a year that tried to take everything from us. The one thing we all want in this life is LOVE....this design was created as a reminder to all that the greatest reason to be loved is because you are YOU. I love you, because you are YOU. Designs are included on accessories as well....pins, stickers and bags. Get yours now....spread them to those you love and most importantly, don't forget yourself.

We all need a hero. After the crazy year that was 2020, something had to give. On June 10, 2021, the first teaser trailer for the Netflix series Masters of the Universe: Revelations dropped. It was sorely needed. Above is my initial reaction to the trailer on my YouTube channel. I say without hesitation, I have zero time for naysayers!!! The animation (done by Powerhouse) is simply BEAUTIFUL. Ever since learning in 2019 that Kevin Smith was working on bringing a new He-Man series to Netflix and phenomenal artist Eddie Nunez ( Seis Manos , Streets of Rage 4 ) was behind the designs....I knew we would be getting a beautiful series. As I type, the reaction to the trailer premieres on my YouTube channel. I have so many great memories when it comes to this franchise. Please watch the reaction and enjoy each and every moment of this life we got!!!
