I’ve just been really fortunate to be in the right place at the right time in several instances. When my artwork ended up at Dreamworks, I was able to work on a movie with Debbie Allen. She introduced me to several of her friends, or people that she’s worked with, who ended up buying artwork — like Denzel Washington or Jalen Rose. Spike Lee saw a painting I did in Sports Illustrated and wanted some artwork of his own.
I’ve just really been fortunate that most of my work has has traveled around and gotten around by word of mouth. I haven’t really gone seeking out celebrities. I’ve just kind of run into them, so to speak.
