We chose to take 2018 off our vacation schedule but popped right back to Vegas in 2019. Again, I made sure to bring my own artwork of wrestlers scheduled to be at the event. And again I have some great artwork to throw up on the wall and a memory of meeting everyone. -mh

THROWBACK – Wrestling portraits 2017
In 2017 we went back to Vegas and again I brought with me some portraits of the wrestlers that I knew were going to be at the shows going on during our visit. Again I’ve got some pretty sweet pieces for my wall. We got some custom frames and with autographs on all of them… Continue reading THROWBACK – Wrestling portraits 2017
THROWBACK – Wrestling portraits 2016
For (what used to be a regular or yearly vacation) my wife and I would travel to Vegas and stay a few nights, eat some interesting food, attend some awesome shows and I would be able to sneak in a weekend of professional wrestling. When professional wrestlers are in Vegas it’s usually because there’s a… Continue reading THROWBACK – Wrestling portraits 2016
Joystick Upgrade – part 1.5 – More design detail
Just a little bit of recap, last time on the joystick upgrade we replaced the stock joystick with the new joystick that was unable to connect to the joystick platform.

Eventually my designs made it all the way to the champion at the time, Kazuchika Okada. Yeah, I made the designs for… Continue reading THROWBACK – Roppongi Vice logo design and more
THROWBACK – Briscoes Shirt
Before the Ring of Honor was bought out by some bajillionaire it still toured around the states fairly regularly. After meeting up with a few wrestlers I was offered an opportunity to design some merchandise. There was a whole contract involved, hopefully since they’re not owned by Sinclair broadcasting anymore nobody will care that a… Continue reading THROWBACK – Briscoes Shirt
THROWBACK – Jay Lethal – Gear Design
In early 2016 I was lucky to meet Jay Lethal at a wrestling event in Las Vegas. Most wrestlers have their own head shots that they have ready for autographs but personally I enjoy drawing out my own design and asking them to sign it. When I do, I bring an extra one for them… Continue reading THROWBACK – Jay Lethal – Gear Design
Working for the man every night and day…at home.
Sometimes I miss my cubicle…sometimes. But when I don’t miss it, it’s usually because it’s below freezing outside, I’m physically feeling like garbage or the workday is riddled with meetings. Occasionally you hear “That meeting could have been an email”, says the guy that probably wouldn’t pay attention to either. Granted sometimes they’re right, not… Continue reading Working for the man every night and day…at home.
