Art This Friday: An Art Show of Professional Wrestlers on Velvet
Posted by Derek Erdman on Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 4:41 PM
Here's something that sounds great: a fine art tribute to the heroes (and non-heroes) of professional wrestling, all painted on black velvet. The Iron Sheik tangling with a gas pump? Hacksaw Jim Duggan atop a pile of wrecked AMC Pacers? Giant Haystacks as Elvis Presley? THE SKY COULD VERY WELL BE THE LIMIT!
