Review - Mastering The Crucifix, Artechoke Media, Digital Book

Summary
Novel and innovative multimedia facets add extra value to this digital book covering the crucifix hold-down and submission. More than just a step by step guide, this book is also a convincing argument for viewing the position as an entire submission gameplan.

Fundraising - Japanese Female Warrior Print and T-shirt

*** UPDATE - this auction is now over with a winning bid of £385. The whole Grapplethon 2015 event raised a total of £3,400 for Equality Now ***

I created some artwork of the legendary Japanese female warrior known as Tomoe Gozen. I based my interpretation closely on an original print created between 1808-1880 by the artist Shuntei Katsukawa. You can see a photograph of the original print here.

The t-shirt was created for a fundraising Grapplethon in Bristol hosted by Artemis BJJ in aid of Equality Now.

I have a signed A2 sized print in full colour and one t-shirt (size Medium or Large) available on Ebay. All profits from the auction will be donated to the Grapplethon fundraising account.

The print is made with archival Ultrachrome inks on Hahnemuehle German Etching heavyweight art paper.

Meerkatsu art - Pride or Die 'Inner Demons' T-shirt

I was asked by France-based fightwear brand Pride or Die to create a t-shirt for their company. The result is the Inner Demons t-shirt and features a 7-colour screenprint based on a twist to vintage Japanese samurai art.

You can buy it on the Pride or Die website here.
