  • Noah Wellbrock-Talley: Superb Sumo Artist

    This week we got a chance to talk to Noah Wellbrock-Talley. You've probably already seen his artwork online, and if you've entered any sumo themed contests lately you may have even had a chance to win some of his artwork. Not only is he an extremely talented artist, but he is also a fastidious researcher of grand sumo! He is obsessed with studying past and present rikishi, calculating all sorts of data to gain a deeper understanding of this ancient sport. And he's sure got a lot of interesting (and possibly incendiary) things to say about it! If you're interested in seeing some of the artwork mentioned in this episode, check out our post on Instagram. You can also find his artwork at the links below.
