I'm a huge Kobe fan just like many other little black boys and girls my age. See, I wasn't old enough to witness MJ the way I did Kobe. I think my favorite thing about him was that he was a true student to the game. Always studying, adapting, learning, and growing all the way up until his retirement and I'm sure up until His and Gianna's heart-breaking passing.

That's how I approach art/painting; constantly remaining curious, always studying and learning. Realizing you're NEVER too good to get better. You can always improve. I believe perfection is more so in the process than the product.
