This is one of my pinned posts on Instagram. It’s basically my mission statement:

I want to spend the rest of my life ensuring that the greatest artists are given a chance to show the world what they can really do. Far too many artists have their hands tied behind their backs because their greatest works are absolutely terrifying in ambition. They’re too bold, they’re too expensive, they’re too risky, for the average patron. So the right patron really has to be crazy enough to meet the artist at this high level where you look at their work and you say, “Who could have possibly asked the artist to make this? Who would be crazy enough to pay for such a thing?” And I want to be that crazy guy, for artists all over the world, because that’s how I believe the greatest works get created, when there’s this extraordinary meeting between the greatest talent and the craziest patron.
