Art and Hoops

Episode 12 - Work (w/ Nico Abeyta)

In this episode, I talk with pro-hooper Nico Abeyta about resilience, creativity, and redefining setbacks. As I dive into my Raptors Drawing Challenge, Nico shares his journey, reminding us that growth often comes from the moments we think disqualify us. Together, we explore what it means to keep going, stay authentic, and turn barriers into opportunities.

Episode 11 - Drive (w/ Nathan Cayo)

In this episode, I sit down with Nathan Cayo, two-time CEBL champion, to talk about what it takes to stay hungry and motivated through wins, setbacks, and everything in between. We dive into how growing up in Montreal shaped his game, the lessons learned on the road to back-to-back championships, and how to keep pushing in the face of adversity. I also share some updates on my own creative journey—why I’m stepping away from Inktober this year and chasing a new project that’s bigger, more demanding, but way more fun.

Episode 10 - Resilience (w/ Tavis "Pistol" Smith)

In this episode, I chat with Montreal Alliance’s Tavis "Pistol" Smith about his journey and his resilience—how to rise after being knocked down, the mindset needed to push through challenges, and why personal projects are key to growth both on and off the court.

In this new season of Art and Hoops, I dive into the ethical reasons behind skipping the con, my departure from WoofPack, and where I stand on artists vs AI. Plus, Montreal is making waves in the NBA Finals spotlight. Let’s talk art, values, and hoops!
