Martellus Bennett may have won a Super Bowl, but he’s really more of a super hero.
His super power is creativity, and his literary and visual empire is just beginning.
“No one has ever taught me how to be creative,” says Marty. “It’s just who I am.”
His work as an author and artist has led to projects like Dear Black Boy and his acclaimed Hey A.J. series, which is now being developed into an animated series with Disney.
The acclaimed creator joined Mick for Episode 015 of ‘The MICK Show’ to discuss how his artistic process works, his multi-hyphenated career, and why Tom Brady’s flexibility is actually a metaphor for real world resilience.
Says Marty: “I don’t ever want to be remembered for playing sports. I want them to say, ‘Oh, and he played football.”
