Vincent Has Arrived
Vincent For those of you who kinda want to “experience” theatre or art or music, maybe just "catch the video clips," just keep ”swiping.” If you’d like to truly immerse yourself in the creation of all three, live and breathe in the experience of Vincent, I hope you...

Barack and I were so honored to have @NjidekaAkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center.
