Site for Roller Derby Artists

Whiskey7 of the Sin City Rollergirls has this to say about the new myspace page for Roller Derby Art.
"Finally! A place to appreciate the fine art and culture of Roller Derby Poster Art. Please use the comments section to post your favorite roller derby posters and artwork-anywhere from doodles to tattoos! If you're an artist post your work! If you have an entire portfolio of derby work, please let me know and I'll create an art album for you in our picture section. If you have a favorite artist, harass them to draw you a rollergirl and post it here for the rest of us to see! Thanks!"

This is one of my favorites from the many, many great posters out there.

The Hub City Hellrazors roller derby team, in conjunction with Revolver Tattoo, New Brunswick, will be holding an art auction benefit for Teenwolf (Gary Cuddington) in July. As many of you know, Teenwolf broke his leg in 3 places during a March bout in Chicago, and lacking health insurance and unable to work, is now faced with thousands of dollars worth of bills.

We are currently looking for all types of artists willing to donate their art, which will then be sold at the auction, proceeds going directly to Teenwolf.

Here’s how it works:

The artwork will remain on display for 3 weeks in the Revolver Gallery prior to the auction. At the auction, all pieces start at $25, then potential buyers bid up in increments of $5. The person with the highest bid at the end of the evening wins/buys the artwork.

It is recommended that you donate a small piece which is more easily transportable as well as affordable.
We’re aiming to sell as many pieces as possible! This is not only a great chance to show your work, but donate to a worthy cause!

Deadline for submissions is June 1. There is no judging of submissions. All artwork will be accepted (within reason or until the gallery is full). Please feel free to contact Carmen Monoxide at carmenmonoxide12@gmail.com if you are interested in donating your artwork, or with any questions you may have. You can also visit www. revolvertattoo. com for information regarding the gallery.
