MALACHI
Malachi Broadnax is self-taught artist based out of NYC. My work includes a variety of techniques and mediums. He draws inspiration from over 80 residences in 14 cities, 5 states and 1 district. He gives credit to the many great people that I’ve meet along my journey. Both with inspiring and supporting him as an artist. I have always known him as an Arsenal and DC United supporter.
How did you become an Arsenal fan?
Let's see. Thierry Henry. Actually, as we're talking about World Cups, what was that? The 2003? 2002? The one where it was South Pacific. The matches were on 2, 3, 4 in the morning. I miss those days. Battling insomnia a bunch. I'd be up And I already watched football here and there. But, yeah, that was right, fucking watching that.
And I was watching matches and fucking watched Thierry Henry fucking do something with the ball. Like, he put some English on the ball and, like, split two defenders. Ball bounced right back in front of him, like, mid-stride, never broke stride. And it was right when, like, Tivo came out. So I was like, click, click, click, click.
Right. And fucking playing it over and over again.
And it was like, I fell in love with like the subtle, more of the subtle nuances, football. And then even then it really wasn't, that just got me like fucking playing FIFA. I think like that next year or something, I think 2004 was the first year I got FIFA, like a buddy of mine. It was like when I first started playing FIFA. And that really kind of introduced me to fucking, Uh, more of it. Even then, uh, it wasn't even that. What fucking I looked up what team he played, and obviously you couldn't watch fucking matches in the U.S. Like, there was no streaming. There was no you couldn't even bootleg shit back then, right? There was no there was no watching matches, right?
