This is an interview I did with KMBC about my artwork, more specifically, how to draw Patrick Mahomes. This was during a segment they were running during Superbowl week. It was cool seeing my art on the local news. I edited it to take out the artwork that wasn't mine so it wouldn't be confusing. I drew this picture of Mahomes pretty fast and after the interview I worked on it a little more. Just heard last night (2/25/21) that someone bought it at our little gallery. :)

This appeared a few years ago in the Examiner (Independence paper). It's behind a paywall now so I took screen shots.
