Looking around at the walls of my office, I’m reminded of a cold, hard reality: Most MMA artwork sucks.
That’s why I’m staring right now at a few framed MMA magazine covers and some vintage boxing posters, but no drawings or paintings of anything MMA-related. There just isn’t a hell of a lot cool stuff out there.
Sure there are exceptions.
Guys like Evan Shoman, who is so good that he gets accused of tracing almost as much as he gets props for his work, defy the usual convention. His work is top notch, especially when compared to the norm — artists like this guy and his gallery of manlove (his words, not mine).
Myself, I’m more into quirky art and prefer offbeat, non-traditional pieces, so when I stumbled upon this guy’s blog and saw his work, I was really impressed.
(Seriously, Fedor as Winnie the Pooh? How the hell did I not think of that?)
Normally I’m not a fan of caricatures, but this artist, Michael Myers (if that’s even his real name) does some pretty fantastic things, combining ink, watercolor and offbeat Japanese creativity, making his pieces a lot less "mall kiosk" and a lot more awesome.
Here are a few more that stood out:

commentsi get the asterix and oblix reference (which is awesome by the way)
I think Rexual Healing is correct on the Arlovski cerebrus. I think he is trying to say that Ichiro, Leonidas and Arlovski are a body triple, where each is linked to one by the other. Kind of like James Hetfield, the cowardly lion, and Mark MacGuire.

DO WANT.
Machida looks more like a bug than an eastern dragon, though.
Why does one Arlovski Cerberus head have a baseball in its mouth?
i'm not getting the Forrest Griffin--angel wings, lives in a sock?
Also, the last one. Huh?
Um, maybe i just have the Monday morning dumb.
Oh, right. ESPN e60 this week. Nevermind.
Still clueless about the sock or whatever he's in.
And still clueless about Hari being a window licker.
I think the Marius Pudziceiwizleburger is to indicate that he can only conquer things that aren't alive. The only ball he can't lift is the one that's alive. Kilograms don't hit back.
Cool stuff. I'll check out the site.
