It's one of those 'off the top of my head' rambling mess editions of the show (buyer beware!) but I had fun. It's a nice way for me to organise my thoughts & art-priorities going forwards. Hopefully there's something about it that's nice for all my pals out there too. ...Maybe?Enjoy!!ChrisThings.com.au is the place for original art, prints, calendars & much more!Follow us on Instagram: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexFollow us on Twitter: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexLike on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SocialSuplex/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/QUaJfaCVisit our website for news, columns, and podcasts: https://socialsuplex.com/Join the Social Suplex community Facebook Group: The Wrestling (Squared) CircleWrestling-Art with Chris Things is the Pro-Wrestling Art niche Podcast of the Social Suplex Podcast Network.

Episode 59 is here pals! Yes, I'm back after missing last week due to the general insanity of preparing for my latest solo art show (that just happened to take place LAST NIGHT) at my much-loved Scratch Bar. In this special solo episode I take you into the frantic, barely comprehendible ramblings of a wrestling-art-dude who's brain is melting by the minute. I talk all things about the lead up to this solo show. The good, the challenging & everything in-between. Take it as a snapshot of my current state of mind having finally put this 16 piece art show out into the world. All completed mostly over the past two weeks. We also had a really fun ALL-LUCHA edition of our Wrestling Club on the evening where I played some of my favourite lucha matches. I've included my intro speech and a little run-down of the playlist in question at the end of this episode.P.S. If you're in the area, please don't hesitate to come on down to Brisbane's Scratch Bar during the month of February to check out Chris Things 2025: "Los Luchadores vs Alien Invaders!"Enjoy!!ChrisThings.com.au is the place for 2025 calendars, my latest book, original art, prints & much more!Follow us on Instagram: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexFollow us on Twitter: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SocialSuplex/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/QUaJfaCVisit our website for news, columns, and podcasts: https://socialsuplex.com/Join the Social Suplex community Facebook Group: The Wrestling (Squared) CircleWrestling-Art with Chris Things is the Pro-Wrestling Art niche Podcast of the Social Suplex Podcast Network.

I figure this might be interesting for any listeners who might be considering selling their art at your local markets, but also anyone who has an interest in what this life looks like. For the Wrestling Club portion of the episode, I was greatly appreciative of my mate & card-carrying club-member, Joe for recording some of the proceedings for us. We hear from previous episode friends-of the-show Joe, Faz & Bradley in what ended up what I felt to be a very fun evening had by all.Enjoy!!Play along at home with my art-shenanigans at ChrisThings.com.au - the place where you can also find my brand new 2025 Calendar + my fancy, self-published M.O.T.W.

Terrifying but exciting times friends!AUDIO NOTE: A 'SEVERE' audio warning on this one pals. As I was recording the bulk of this episode in a bit of a rush (with all of the things I have going on right now), I unfortunately did not discover until after recording that our weird static issue came back on my audio for most of the M.O.T.W. chat. I'm really sorry about it friends! I tried to edit as much of it out as I could but a significant amount remains. If that kind of thing annoys you, please feel free to give this one a skip. It's really unfortunate because other than that, I think this might be one of our best episodes yet!Enjoy!!Check out the Chris Things MOTW illustration in question here: Big Van VADER vs Riki ChoshuMasato Tanaka vs Muhammad YoneChrisThings.com.au is the place for original art, prints, calendars & much more!Follow us on Instagram: @ChrisThings, @JaimsVanderbeek, @SocialSuplexFollow us on Twitter: @ChrisThings, @JaimsVanderbeek, @SocialSuplexLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SocialSuplex/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/QUaJfaCVisit our website for news, columns, and podcasts: https://socialsuplex.com/Join the Social Suplex community Facebook Group: The Wrestling (Squared) CircleWrestling-Art with Chris Things is the Pro-Wrestling Art niche Podcast of the Social Suplex Podcast Network.

Episode 37 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition w/ my dear friend (& fellow American Dragon aficionado), Bradley, talking the INCREDIBLE Bryan Danielson vs Shingo bout - not from this past week, but 14 years ago in Dragon Gate USA! So here's the deal, we watched the DGUSA edition as a primer for the big AEW rematch & for a variety of reasons (as we discuss), the Forbidden Door edition just couldn't reach the lofty heights of the original. So this ended up a more 'compare & contrast' look at both. Still two VERY fine professional wrestling matches might I say! Hopefully this is an interesting listen for anyone who's caught both of these matches. Chock full of glowing praise for 2 of the very best wrasslers still to this day in the American Dragon & Shingo Takagi! We also have some amusing nonsense sidebars such as a look at Ring of Honor's tin guardrails of death (that I'm still very fond of) & Robert Rodiriguez' Mariachi Trilogy.In my intro "Latest in the world of Chris Things" segment, I talk being very excited for the upcoming Forge Forward Mini Mall Art-Market here in Brisbane, some fun commission work & some more of my Way of the Blade illustration flashbacks - including the very first illustration that I did for the book!Enjoy!!Check out the Chris Things MOTW illustration in question here: American Dragon vs. Shingo TakagiChrisThings.com.au is the place for original art, prints, calendars & much more!Follow us on Instagram: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexFollow us on Twitter: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SocialSuplex/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/QUaJfaCVisit our website for news, columns, and podcasts: https://socialsuplex.com/Join the Social Suplex community Facebook Group: The Wrestling (Squared) CircleWrestling-Art with Chris Things is the Pro-Wrestling Art niche Podcast of the Social Suplex Podcast Network.

We RAVE about this match till the cows come home. Quite in-depth this week!

Episode 33 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition w/ the esteemed Unkle of Beeks back for another 'DOUBLE-HEADER' episode talking the delightfully odd combination of El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr. vs KENOH for the GHC Heavyweight Championship from February of this year in NOAH as well as Terry Funk vs Abdullah the Butcher from December of 1978 in All Japan!

Episode 32; is here friends! So in lieu of being way too busy to do a normal episode in my final week before the big solo show at Scratch, I thought I'd do another special little solo edition for you! Having just hanged the show this morning, I am quite tired, giddy & generally a bit delirious so felt that would be the perfect thing to capture in audio-form!! In the pint-sized episode I take you behind the artist curtain of what goes into prepping for a solo art show, some of the considerations & my general thought-process behind it. A rambling, semi-coherent mess. Maybe you'll find some of it interesting?
