About

This "I Love Ninja" shop came about after several ninja moms--Liz, Thea, and Vanessa--asked me to design some ninja-themed clothing for their respective ninjas. I was a bit surprised by their request since I'm not an artist; I'm an attorney.  Their kids happened to like my Legal Eagle Ninja shirt, which was drawn by a professional graphic designer when I competed on the television show "American Ninja Warrior" over three seasons (and I'm still hoping to smash that buzzer!).  While I didn't draw the artwork, I had come up with the concept of the eagle wearing glasses, sleeveless shirt and necktie, hand pose, etc.

In other words, I sometimes get inspired to create designs in my mind's eye, but struggle to draw them.  You can probably relate.  However, because I really enjoy the creative process of coming up with and fleshing out ideas, and because there's software available to help air guitar artists like me, I decided to go for it--a full commit--just like you do out on the course!   

I aim to create designs--pixel by pixel--that reflect the passion, spirit, and even humor, of today's ninjas while incorporating images of traditional ninjas.  I hope that when you wear a t-shirt, hoodie, or hat from iloveninja.com you find them to be super comfortable and stylish.  Moreover, I hope the imagery and message on the clothes actually make you feel positive and powerful!  Remember, ninjas have elite strength, agility, and heart!   

The products at iloveninja.com are for all who love this fast growing sport and its inclusive community.  Anyway, thanks for taking time to read this and stopping by the shop.  I hope you like it!  And if you want to see how the tank top versions hold up on the course, check out my Instagram page @legaleagleninja.
