Meet the Rockford artist beautifying neighborhoods with murals
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Jesse Leach is a Rockford artist looking to beautify neighborhoods with new murals. You can find him at the corner of Charles Street and Center Terrace in Rockford, working on a mural he calls 'Food For Thought.' It was commissioned by the owners of Da Catch, which is a restaurant on that same corner. Leach used his phone as a guide as he painted faces on the wall. He says he wasn't initially drawn to painting when he began his journey as an artist. He used a colored pencil. It took a suggestion from another area artist to get him into the other art form. 'Roni Golan, he told me, after he saw all my art, color pencil, he was just like, 'why don't you just paint it all?' So, that's what started my journey six years ago, painting,' Leach said. He's been able to work quickly on the mural. 'I did that side over there within a week,' he said while working around the corner. He explained his process. 'From start to finish, we primed the wall, we scraped everything down. I do the sketch out. After sketching it out, it's going back over the lines, just kind of bringing the picture together more and more,' Leach explained while painting. 'After this, it's the color fill. That's when I just start throwing colors all over the place just to fill in the gaps to minimize all the white, or minimize the background so I know where I'm going and I can use everything once it's all put together.' 'And then going back over three or four times,' he said. 'Like I did over on that wall over there, I went back and forth up and down the wall probably like three-four times before I was satisfied by how everything looked, and I still feel like I can go back over the lines even more.' 'Then it's the shading and the highlights,' he said. 'That's just going back and getting the picture to have some depth, so it's now starting to pop out at you a little bit, so it gives you that 3D effect almost.' He says the most important part of the entire process is trying to inspire others through his art. 'I hope I inspire people to wake up and want to do any form of creativity that they know, even if it's singing, dancing, anything,' he said. 'Just wake up one morning, go downtown or something, or be out and just have a ball… express yourself that way.' 'It's therapeutic,' he said. 'While you focus on the painting, you don't have time to worry about other things. You're too busy tapped out of the world and tapped into this, into the art. For the soul, it's freedom.'

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stunned hockey fans at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stunned hockey fans at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final With a 2-1 lead in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final over the Edmonton Oilers, the Florida Panthers entered Thursday night's game hoping to inch a little bit closer to hoisting the trophy. The Panthers — who won the Stanley Cup last year after defeating, you guessed it, the Oilers — already had high excitement for Game 4. Well, the excitement ratcheted up a little bit more as celebrity super couple Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were in the house at in Sunrise, Florida to take in the game. The 14-time Grammy winner and 3-time Super Bowl champ have been dating since summer of 2023, and the duo has frequently attended sporting events in the Chiefs' offseason. Kelce, who had golfed in Fort Lauderdale earlier in the day, wore an all-red get up while the The Tortured Poets Department singer donned a cream-colored shorts ensemble with booties. The pair were filmed entering the arena hand-in-hand just after the game started. The couple was seen taking the game in, cuddled up together in the stands and looking at something on Kelce's phone. With the history between these two teams and the stakes of the game, it seems like Swift and Kelce have chosen the best possible time to take in their first hockey game together.

Post Malone on going country and what's next: 'I make what makes me happy'
Post Malone on going country and what's next: 'I make what makes me happy' Show Caption Hide Caption Travis Tritt talks Post Malone's passion for Country music on Opry 100 red carpet Travis Tritt talks Post Malone's passion for Country music on Opry 100 red carpet A crop of musicians has gone country recently, from Tate McRae's chart-topping collaboration with Morgan Wallen on "What I Want" to Beyoncé's Grammy album of the year winner "Cowboy Carter." But perhaps none has been more fully embraced by the genre's fans and surrounding industry than Post Malone. Already a musical chameleon – with No. 1 hits in hip-hop, pop and rock – Malone went all-in on country with his sixth album, "F-1 Trillion." The 2024 release topped both the all-genre Billboard 200 and Top Country charts, earned him a Coachella headlining spot and sparked his most ambitious tour yet, the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll. "I want to make sure I do things with respect. I feel honored that everyone has been accepting and patient with me," Malone tells the Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network, in support of Sony's "For The Music" campaign. Post Malone setlist: All the songs he and Jelly Roll played on the Big Ass Stadium Tour Post Malone: Chart-topper and collaborator Malone has a long history of working well with others. Eleven of the 14 songs he's landed on Billboard's Top 10 were collaborations, including "Rockstar" featuring 21 Savage in 2017, "Take What You Want" with Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott in 2019, and "Fortnight" with Taylor Swift in 2024. He's also partnered with brands including Bud Light, Crocs, Oreo and Doritos. In his campaign with Sony's For The Music, he's promoting products including noise-canceling headphones and wireless speakers, along with the idea that the combination of music, technology and creativity leads to a greater connection between fans and artists. "I've always just tried to make music that's true to who I am — no matter," Malone says. "I make what makes me happy. So to be part of something that celebrates artists for doing their own thing and pushing boundaries, that feels really special." What's next for Post Malone? Malone doesn't have plans to leave country music anytime soon. He revealed to Billboard in April he's already working on his seventh album and has made trips to Nashville to record. Acclaimed country guitarist Derek Wells, who has worked with Malone while recording and playing live, has high praise for Malone and teases what to expect on the upcoming project. Review: Post Malone fires up first stadium tour with trusty accomplice Jelly Roll "Performing country music is an entirely different discipline and requires an entirely different vocal delivery from working in pop," Wells says. "Moving away from having his voice saturated with vocal effects and treatments has him really working, especially onstage, to deliver a quality show every night. "There's also more fiddle, pedal steel, guitar solos. Where we started as two feet over the line into traditional country on 'F-1 Trillion' has turned into head, chest, shoulders and feet across the line on where we're headed with the next batch of songs."
