DCW Hooligans Shirts

I've posted about the DragonCon Wrestling (DCW), DCW Hooligans, and shared previous year's shirts before.  You can see them HERE.  I worked on this year's shirt with some help from friends.  This year's is a little somber as it pays tribute to Tiny one of the folks behind DragonCon Wrestling who passed away this year.  I didn't know him but the Phantom Troublemaker had a nice write up about him. You can read it HERE.  While I didn't know him I do appreciate his contributions to DCW which has become one of my favorite things to do at DragonCon.  I only watch wrestling once a year, and when I do it's at DragonCon.

DCW - Dragon*Con 2014

After many years of attending Dragon*Con, my friends and I finally checked out the annual wrestling event a few years ago.  The annual DCW (Dragon*Con Wrestling) event is now a staple in our Dragon*Con experience each year.  After a few years of attendance we decided that the obnoxious and drunken antics/chants/cheers weren't enough to single our group of friends out, so we decided on a name and matching purple shirts.  The last 3 years the DCW Hooligans have sported a group shirt during the event.  I've been happy to work on the last years and now this years.  Here is the new design:

And here is last years done with help from the Phantom Troublemaker:

New Painting - El Luchador!

Here's a new-ish painting I finished recently.  It's acrylic paint on a 16"x20" canvas.

 

I had it ready just in time for the EAV Strut a couple of weeks ago.  I had a few people stop and ask if I was channeling my inner Phantom Troublemaker.  Originally this was going to have the Mexican flag as the background.   After I painted it (from memory), I realized I had actually painted the  Hungarian flag.  Whoever ever heard of a Hungarian luchador?  So much for using visual references.  So I ended up using colors from the mask instead.  There is a line in red sharpie just under the wording that's got to have at least 6 coats of paint on it before I was able to cover it up.  The day after drawing the B! logo it occurred to me that I may have just invented the Big Lots logo.  Luckily I hadn't (visual references!).  I have another painting using the same character that I'm just about finished with.  It turned out pretty well and I'll post it as soon as it's done.
