Episode 87 is here pals! We have another of those solo, rambling chit-chat editions of the show for you. I'm rambling through my thoughts on a wonderful recent Brisbane Illustration Fair weekend, meeting a bunch of wonderful folks & catching up with some of my favourite Brissy Art pals (like the super talented Gabrielle Vines & Forge Forward's Amy). I chat the ridiculous weekend that I have set up for myself next week with the ridiculous/wonderful combo of Lucha Fantastica Brisbane's Day of the Dead Fiesta, The Great Artist Market at Felons Barrel Hall AND a Wrestling Club 'GRAPP-TOBERFEST' at my favourite bar in the whole wide-world, The Scratch! We then get into an A.I. arty rant for the ages discussing the importance of human creativity, hand generated art & loveable imperfections.

Enjoy!!

Episode 86 is here pals! It's a "Match of the Week" 'Edition of the show w/ 'Best Mate David', chattin' three totally splendid bouts & just what it was that made them so wonderful. Those being Genichiro Tenryu vs KENTA (from 2005 Pro Wrestling NOAH), Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka (from ECW Heatwave '98) and the wonderfully sadomasochistic bloodbath that was KENOH vs Minoru Suzuki (from 2024 Pro Wrestling NOAH). We actually got to enjoy those first two together at a recent 'Wrestling Club' with Chris Things at The Scratch, so I felt there couldn't be anyone more perfect to chop it up with about these classics than my dearest long-time pal from across the pond. We talk all about these matches, my illustrations of said matches & a heck of a lot of nonsense - not limited to the 1977 B-Grade Action classic that was Rolling Thunder!

In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I ramble about my recent Mexican group art show participation, some upcoming events AND a Wrestling Artist SPOTLIGHT on a recent discovery of mine in fabulous wrestling artist who created some of our favourite visuals of early 90s WWF; Joe Jusko!

Enjoy!!

Episode 85 is here pals! It's another in lieu of some guest scheduling difficulties I have another of these rambling mess solo editions of the show for you. I have a few things on the go at the moment so I felt I might as well have a one-sided conversation in your ear-holes about them. Cool commission things! Books! In-Person Events! Art Exhibitions! I even have a sneaky, low-key announcement of something that I wasn't planning on divulging! All in all just a bunch of rambles about the day-to-day things going on in this Wrestling-Artist's life in September of 2025.

Enjoy!!

Episode 83 is here pals! It's a "Match of the Week" 'Edition of the show w/ 'PERFECT ATTENDANCE CLUB MEMBER' JOE here to chat about two amazing matches that were the recently unearthed Piper vs Mad Dog Sawyer Dog Collar '83 Omni match and the FTR vs Outrunners tag team wrestling throwback classic from AEW Collision 100. We also have a great time talking about the INCREDIBLE lead up Georgia Championship Wrestling TV build to this all-timer of a Dog Collar match & a good amount of nonsense.

In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I ramble about finding your people when it comes to art commission work & THIS FRIDAY's Lucha Fantastica Brisbane show that I'll be bringing my art table along to.

Enjoy!!

Episode 81 is here pals! It's a "Match of the Week" 'Sin Limite' Edition of the show w/ my pal from across the pond, Richard of Video Plant - chattin' a month worth of delightfully eclectic matches - each totally wonderful in their own way. We've got Mascara Dorada vs Zandokan Jr. (the 2025 CMLL Copa Jr. VIP Tournament Final), the El Desperado vs Jun Kasai 2022 Deathmatch epic, the ZSJ vs Goto IWGP World Heavyweight Championship bout from February & the absolute All Japan classic that was Terry Funk vs Bruiser Brody from 1977! We also chat a bit about my illustrations of said matches, a bunch of CMLL & just all the things. I really enjoyed this conversation & hope you do too!

In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I talk my recent adventures, what I have coming up & a spot of work-life balance guilt.

Everyone be sure to be following Richard's @Video.Plant for all of the coolest cult cinema & VHS collecting goodness.

Enjoy!!
