Time has its purpose. Over the past years, I’ve come to realize that the glory of Christ is the only thing that truly matters. When you fail, fall, or experience depression, Jesus is always there to support you. Your purpose in life is to fulfill God’s purpose by being a blessing and shining your light to everyone on their path.
I often get lost in my imagination. It’s rare to find someone who’s truly perfect first draft. My ideas sometimes need a little tweaking, even when I mean well. It was really important to create a space for the creative ideas God has given me. Writing a 24-chapter book while procrastinating felt like skipping over the story that’s been part of my life since I was young, but came alive digitally after college.
Each of these logos represents the light. After college, dealing with Multiple Sclerosis gave me time to explore design ideas from music, graphic design, and even dreams that seemed impossible.
These idea’s doesn’t include Jesus. But through my art, you can see that he was with me in my storm. I was searching for Christ, and my ideas were dark. God can turn what’s meant for evil into something good. It’s because he owns both the light as well as the darkness.
Creating champsince to symbolize my battle with multiple sclerosis was quite a journey. I didn’t always appreciate the tools, blessings, and support Jesus gave me. I’d sometimes thank God when things went well, but most of the time, I felt like he didn’t exist. It took me years to realize that I was actually honoring him through all my struggles by creating CHAMPSINCE. We’re all are a CHAMPSINCE because Jesus died for our salvation.
Water is essential for life, constantly moving through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. From a young age, I was always trying to avoid getting baptized and accepting Jesus in public. But years later, God offered me salvation in a private ceremony, where I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and received the Holy Spirit in a lake. The wave logo has always been a personal symbol for me. An visual representation how God uses us as a vessel for his purposes, even beyond what we can fully understand.
I still remember when I first discovered I could make music with Fruity Loops back in 2003 at George Wythe High School. I was so excited, thinking I could make a beat signed to a major record label or artist and become super rich. But it’s more than that; if it’s not meant to be, God will guide you to your true purpose. Making hundreds of beats and instrumental albums was a fascinating journey. The main reason I started making music wasn’t to share the gospel, but it was also a way to chase after earthly desires for fame and fortune. I’m hoping that one day, my old hobby will be used to honor Jesus, and some ideas are already starting to form.
Growing up, I believed Japanese culture was based in America. Being marketed their culture through Nintendo’s Super Mario, Sega’s Sonic, and Sony PlayStation. As a teenager through my college years, I discovered Japanese fashion, technology, and urban architecture through blogs. My artwork, called YUNG TOikYO WET, because featured bright colors reminiscent of Tokyo’s neon lights.
The Positive Cache logo is designed to inspire you to seek out positive energy! As the saying goes, “like attracts like,” so if you’re actively seeking the good things, they’re likely to find you. I’ve discovered that our energy can attract both positive and negative influences. The more light we shine, the easier it is to push away the shadows.
LxlGHOST and LOVERAVE were genres of my beats. LxlGHOST represented my Hip-Hop beats, while LOVERAVE showcased my Electronic Dance Music house tracks. Essentially, music symbolized the darkness and light. My rap beats were dark, depressing, and featured menacing 808 bass drums that sounded like Godzilla or war emerging from your speakers. In contrast, my dance house music had a hopeful and cheerful, poppy vibe.
My entire life has been filled with medication. During my teenage years, I visited the doctor and even got braces. After graduating from JMU, my life revolved around medication, from pills to injections. It became an idol to me. I failed to notice the angels and blessings surrounding me on my journey. Years later, I no longer rely on medication as a crutch.
TIt’s interesting how people often admire men but not God. They create these personas to mask their true selves. So, I came up with an artist name that represented my illness, hoping to blend in with others. YOUNG MARC LEVITATION AND LEAN, YMLXL, a good social media hash tag, but it didn’t lead to much real-world success. Seeking the truth, I decided to embrace my real name; hiding isn’t worth the effort. I’m focused on the glory of Jesus Christ. Marc will be just fine.
MIRACLES ALWAYS REPRESENT CHRIST (Marc). I’ve truly been blessed in overcoming Multiple Sclerosis, and I’m a living testament to God’s mercy. My book will show the angels who’ve been on my journey. People are placed on your path for a season or a lifetime.
Sometimes, I feel like giving up. Humans’ emotions and our physical desires will always let us down when we least expect it. Life is a blessing; it has many temporary aspects, but as humans, we get lost in the meaningless vanity. Jealousy and envy of others in the world are common. However, everyone has a unique gift and path. Their journey and challenges are specifically designed to help you grow and fulfill God’s purpose for you.
DON’T QUIT NO EXCUSES KEEP GOING
Growing up in science class, I was fascinated by the prism spectrum. I crafted my own prism using my favorite colors. It’s amazing how many different hues can be come from a single source of light. The beauty of these colors mirrors the diverse world we inhabit.
