Andre the Giant drawing

Not a huge fan of Pro Wrestling ever since I was a kid and realized that Pro Wrestling is in fact NOT what we now know of as MMA. But from the age of 2 or 3 I used to sit up watching Portland Wrestling with my Grandpa back in the late 70's, and was a huge pro wrestling fan through the mid 80's as a kid.

That's the basis for my love of MMA. As such, I'm going to do at least a small series of sketch cards featuring some old school rasslers from that time frame. First up, an all-time legend:

Andre the Giant sketch card, copic markers 2.5x3.5"

We'll see, probably Hogan, maybe Piper, the Road Warriors...Flair? We'll see how much notice they get, if people really seem to like the old school wrestling ones, I'll probably do more. Right now I'm just trying to hit a lot of different audiences...working on Game of Thrones and some other movie/tv show stuff as well.

Cool, cool dude. How about wrestlers the likes of "Superstar" Billy Graham, Terry Funk, Tommy Rich, Kerry Von Erich, Austin Idol or Harley Race? Any chance?
