Presence Over Permission:

The Enduring Value of Combat Art.

I’m honored to share that my latest article on Combat Art has been published in Lethal Minds Journal. This piece dives deep into the raw, unfiltered truth behind war art and why it matters, not just as a historical record but as a way to preserve the stories of those who lived through it.

In the article, I discuss how combat art differs from romanticized depictions often seen in mainstream media. It’s about capturing the real moments — the grit, the chaos, and the quiet resilience that defines those who serve in combat.

If you’re interested in understanding why combat art goes beyond aesthetics and serves as a powerful tool for storytelling, check out the full article here.

Give it a read and let me know what you think. This conversation is important, and I’m excited to continue exploring it with you all.
