I need to tell you.
I owe someone a print I'll never be able to deliver.
Charlie Kirk and I used to message back and forth on Instagram. He'd seen my Trump "Fight" painting and loved it. We talked about his work, about what art like that means to people when the culture is telling them to sit down and shut up. I told him I'd send him a print.
We both got busy. Life moved on. I never sent it.
On September 10th, Charlie was assassinated at Utah Valley University. He was 31 years old. He was wearing a shirt that said FREEDOM.
I'll never get to send him that print.
A few weeks later, my painting was on stage at his memorial in front of 100 million people. I didn't plan for that. I just knew I needed to be there. I needed to support what he stood for and what he died for.
I've thought about that word every day since. FREEDOM. The last word he wore. Not a slogan. Not a brand. The thing he believed in enough to die standing up for.
This painting is for Charlie.
CHARLIE KIRK — "FREEDOM"
I painted FREEDOM across the bottom of this piece because that's the word he was wearing when they took him from us. This isn't a political painting. It's a painting about a man I knew, a conversation I never finished, and a print I never sent. The least I can do is make sure the word he carried stays loud.
TRUMP — "FIGHT" GOLD EDITION
President Trump owns my original Fight painting. The first time he saw it in person, he said it was amazing. "It's just something else." That moment still hasn't fully hit me.
This Gold Edition is a completely new piece. New composition, gold enhancements, new edition numbering, new COA. If you collected the original Fight from 2024, your limited edition is fully protected. Different painting. Different editions. No dilution.
I wanted to revisit this moment with everything I've learned and everything that's happened since. A president with blood on his face, fist raised, refusing to fall. After last year, after losing Charlie, these 2 paintings need to be released.
JACK HUGHES — "GOLDEN GOAL"
This past week I've felt something I haven't felt in a long time. Pure pride.
When Jack Hughes scored the golden goal for Team USA at the Olympics, I couldn't sleep. I started painting at 11 PM and didn't stop until sunrise. There was no plan. No sketch. Just an American kid putting his country on his back, and me needing to capture that energy before it faded.
With the USA's 250th anniversary in 2026, this felt like the beginning of something. A new generation carrying the flag. I painted it the way it felt. Golden, relentless, American.
These three paintings are the FREEDOM collection.
This is what I stand for. This is what I paint. And this one is personal.
The drop is March 13th at 11:11 AM CST.
One hour. Three paintings. Then it's over.
Next Friday I'll send you the print preview page with sizing, editions, and pricing for each piece so you know what you want before the clock starts.
Friday the 13th. One hour. FREEDOM.
