The Art of Bill Main: Wrestling Mania

Oh hi there!

Remember the 80’s, when larger-than-life characters dominated not just the big screen but also our living rooms through the magic of professional wrestling? I’ve always been fascinated by the drama, the spectacle, and the sheer artistry of it all. Recently, that fascination has turned into a bit of an obsession, and my Instagram profile (@itsbillmain) has been flooded with a crazy amount of wrestling drawings.

From classic legends like Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage to modern icons like John Cena and Becky Lynch, I’ve been sketching, inking, and coloring my heart out. Each drawing captures a moment, a pose, or a signature move that defined these wrestling superstars. It’s been a blast, and the feedback from everybody has been incredible!

The Next Big Thing: The Art of Bill Main Book

With so much content piling up, I’ve started thinking about taking this passion project to the next level. What if I could compile all these wrestling artworks into one epic collection? Enter “The Art of Bill Main: Wrestling Mania” – a book dedicated to showcasing my wrestling drawings in all their glory.

So far I just have the idea and the vision. I’ll still need to knock it around a little to flesh it out.

The Licensing Adventure

Of course, creating such a book isn’t just about putting pen to paper. There’s a whole world of licensing to navigate, as these wrestlers are part of larger-than-life franchises with their respective companies. I’m currently exploring options to ensure that this project is legit and that every piece of art in the book is properly licensed.

It’s a bit like leveling up in an old-school RPG – there are quests to complete, bosses to face, and treasures to uncover. But I’m ready for the challenge because I believe this book could be something special.

Join the Journey

So, what’s next? Well, I’m diving headfirst into the licensing process, and I’ll be sharing updates along the way. Your support means the world to me, and I’d love for you to join this journey. Follow me on Instagram (@itsbillmain) for the latest drawings and behind-the-scenes looks at the making of “The Art of Bill Main: Wrestling Mania.”

And hey, if you have any tips or connections in the world of wrestling licenses, hit me up! Together, we can make this book a reality.

Stay tuned, stay creative, and let’s keep the wrestling mania alive!

Until next time, brother!
