In my journey to build a diverse MJ art collection, this one from @j._clarke_custom1_of1cards immediately called to me.

The concept is wild—blending a Pokémon-style layout with a striking, almost meditative MJ image. Not the usual dunk or intense stare, but that calm-before-the-storm energy. It instantly brought me back to childhood—watching MJ during warmups, still and focused while the anthem played. You could feel it: that silence before he unleashed chaos on the court.

When I saw this piece, I had to ask if it was still available—expecting it to be long gone. To my surprise, it was, but was told that it wasn’t finished yet. I told him I’d be honored to add it to the PC and sent payment on the spot.

A couple weeks later, it arrived—with the addition of a holographic geometric background that sets the whole piece off in the light. Trusting the process and vision was definitely worth it!

Massive thanks to J Clarke for the creativity and craftsmanship. If you haven’t checked him out yet, go give him a follow and keep an eye on his drops—serious heat.

Happy MJ Monday!
