This is the official print of my 2016 Prince portrait — the painting that unexpectedly went viral and was viewed by millions around the world. I created it shortly after his passing and offered the original as a free giveaway on my Facebook page. The response was overwhelming. Within days, I received well over 100,000 messages from people who felt deeply connected to him. It was the first time I truly understood how personal Prince’s influence was for so many.

Because of that response, I release a limited number of high-quality prints at select times each year. This isn’t about mass production. It’s about honoring the moment and making an authentic print available to those who continue to reach out. All profits from these prints go directly toward funding future free art giveaway projects.
