I really like Hyan, but wow watching this match against Marina Shafir in DEFY coupled with the mixed tag last week, someone tell Tony to just let Marina cook. Holy shit she's so good.

A Pacific northwest indie luminary doing a double pronged attack (body then leg). Wow, welcome back, Bryan Danielson, I guess.

Been writing slower than I’d like on account of the move, but still managed to get this one about a joshi classic done before the U-Haul arrives.

Andos asked me to draw the thumbnail for this project, and I tried to capture to aura of the dueling chants and the tension between Joe and Kobashi. I really like how this one turned out.
But you should absolutely go out of your way to watch his new video! Lots of hard work went into it!
