The highs and lows of being a UFC prospect - The Fine Art of Violence

Introducing a new thing. I doesn't have a name, but a lot of pictures.

Hey everyone, I’ve got something new to share with you. It’s a comic book style I’ve been working on to tell better stories. Last week I tested out the format on twitter with a page about the fallout from Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury.

I love comic books and have been making some non-MMA work in my studio, a kind of illustrated journalism. There’s a unique neighborhood in Copenhagen called Freetown Christiania that was claimed by people and exists outside the legal norms of the rest of the city. They have an open air marijuana and hash drug trade (a PG version of Hamsterdam in The Wire). No pictures are allowed to be taken on Pusher Street so I’ve been going down there, interviewing residents and drawing them.

I hope you enjoy the new Fine Art of Violence format. It’s so cool that Nate Wilcox keeps hiring me to make new artwork and that you support it via substack. It’s a real joy to share this.

Here is “It’s Rough Out There, for a UFC Prospect”:
