Wrestling Art with Chris Things

Episode 79 is here pals! It's one of those weeks' where I'm about to head out to Sydney to hawk my wrestling-art wares, so I thought I'd have a little solo cat with you about all the things I've got going on - including some exciting new project goss! Just a little rambling chat about this week in the life of a wrasslin' art dude!

Enjoy!!

Episode 78 is here pals! It's the "Match of the Week" Edition w/ the esteemed Unkle of Beeks for a very special Sabu Tribute Triple-Header edition of the show! We have a good little ol' chat abut Sabu's special (& unique) place in wrasslin'-history & talk 3 of my very favourite Sabu matches! We start with Sabu vs La Parka from 2002 MLW, then a classic mid-90s indie romp that was the '94 Sabu vs Cactus Jack 'Desert-Death-Falls-Count-Anywhere-Match' at the Silver Nugget Casino. Followed last by one of Sabu's most infamous matches; the dreaded 'Born to Be Wired' '97 ECW No-Ropes Barbed Wire match against Terry Funk! A heck of a trio if I do say so myself along with all the rambling nonsense that happens when Jeremey & I chat - from the Godfather trilogy to 'High Voltage' to Cannibal Holocaust! It's a heck of a ride!

In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I chat my recent comings and goings, the question of creative 'burnout', the new book launch and getting out of those creative funk-days.

Enjoy!!

Episode 77 is here friendos! It's another of our "WRESTLING CLUB"  special editions of the podcast - owing to another Club event this past Sunday! We jump into the playlist of eclectic Pro Wrestling madness along with some in-person audio of the big night. Once again, I have some special auditory excerpts of some of my favourite bits of what was shown on the big screen! Hope you like mid 80s Jim Crockett Promotions!!

In our opening segment, I chat this past week in the life of a 'Wrestling Artist' - a bunch of art-making, deadlines and a lovely little surprise power-outage for today.

Enjoy!!

Episode 76 is here pals! It's that time again and a big book release is upon us! As the big Amazon paperback release of the Way of the Blade (AEW Edition) is coming any day now, I thought I'd take a moment and chat about it. The (I think) untold story of quitting my 'main-gig' job to do this thing, the different emotions around it, reflections, thanks, all the things! It feels pretty momentous that this thing is finally coming out so I thought I'd just spill my guts on the table and have one of those wandering, meandering rambles all about it!

So much thanks to PHIL SCHNEIDER, Jonathan Snowden and Hybrid Shoot! Go team!

Episode 75 is here pals! It's the "Match of the Week" Edition w/ Way of the Blade Author, PHIL SCHNEIDER chattin' about the match that Phil was responsible for bringing into existence; the tremendously wild Dog Collar Match from DEAN #1 - Mad Dog Connelly vs Demus! We have a lot of fun talking all about this one, my illustration and some way-cool behind the scenes goss on putting this together and the legitimate feelings of danger and possible lawsuits that this incredible brawl would instil.

In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I chat about my recent art creating, my various in-person art events AND getting to do a way-cool coaster Linoprint Art Workshop this past Sunday at the Scratch (which may or may not be wrestling-themed ...okay, it was definitely wrestling-themed).

Enjoy!!

Be sure to check out all of Phil's amazing work at Ringer & Yahoo Sports!

Episode 74 is here pals! So I'm in the midst of doing what feels like ALL the group art exhibitions right now & am quite busy/somewhat losing it. So I thought I'd do one of those lovely rambling mess podcast episodes to capture it. Maybe there is some handy stuff in there about participating in group art exhibitions? Maybe not & it's just listening me to talk nonsense for a little bit. I guess that'll be up to YOU, the listener to find out!

Episode 73 is here friendos! Yes, this past Sunday we had another of our "WRESTLING CLUB" events at the totally delightful Scratch Bar & you know what that means! It's another "Wrestling Club w/ Chris Things" special edition of the podcast! We jump into the playlist along with some in-person audio of the night that was. I also have some special auditory excerpts of some of my favourite bits of what was shown on the big screen!

In our opening segment, I chat my current week. Making all the art for all the things & hanging on by a thread but trying to still enjoy all the making as best I can.

Enjoy!!

Episode 72 is here pals! It's the "Match of the Week" Edition w/ the esteemed Unkle of Beeks back for the first time in far too long, chattin' two particularly interesting 'Matches of the Week' that are the Sabu swan-song of Sabu vs Joey Janela in a No-Ropes Barbed Wire Match from earlier this year, as well as the totally tremendous Terry Funk vs The Sheik last ever singles match from 1994 in FMW. We brave some technical difficulties for what I feel was a way-fun rambling chat that everyone has come to expect from two proud ADHD wrasslin'-nerds.

In my 'World of Chris-Things' intro monologue I chat about the upcoming Wrestling Club & go a little more in-depth on the illustrating part of these two illustrations.

Enjoy!!

Episode 71 is here pals! We're back at it, chattin' some Match of the Week goodness with 3 of my most favourite matches that I watched & made illustrations of in recent weeks'. I'm also stoked to be doing so with recent guest & friend of the show; Portaveritas! Who's company I happened to share for my big in-person Zona 23 experience.

We chat that Zona 23 Mexican Junkyard show in question ('Rey Del Deshuesadero 2025'), the tremendous old man Junkyard brawl of 2021 that was Mr. Condor vs. Black Terry (& a lovely little chat about the amazing legacy of the great man that was Terry) & finally something completely different in Pro Wrestling NOAH's Takashi Sugiura vs. Masa Kitamiya incredible 10 minute slugfest from May of 2024. This cross-cultural chat about some wildly varying violent Professional Wrestling was just such a fun time!

In my opening monologue, I chat about my upcoming Wrestling Club event, a highly mysterious commission job that I am very excited to be working on & gearing up for a pretty darned massive art-creating month that will be June.

Enjoy!!

Be sure to be following Portaveritas on his Instagram page!
