“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”

~ Mike Tyson

2025, meet #DaveMan.

The year started with optimism. Meanwhile, Reality (Iron Mike) was winding up for a haymaker.

I wanted to visualize this moment because, truthfully, I’ve heard so many stories this year about surprise and upheaval. In my own life, through my network, and across the news, 2025 really packed a punch.

But underneath the impact, there is a wonderful about reinvention. That’s why I chose this claymation style for this one. Clay is tactile. It’s messy. It shows the fingerprints. But most importantly, it is malleable. When a clay figure gets flattened, it doesn’t shatter like glass—it just waits to be reshaped.

Dave Man is no exception. And neither are YOU!

The “Perfect Plan” might have felt the canvas, but the capacity to peel ourselves off the mat and mold something new from the wreckage is where actual power lives.

Here’s to reinvention. Looking forward to bright lights ahead.
