I WENT TO THE ALL STAR JR. FESTIVAL U.S.A. 2023!!! AND I GOT TO MEET BUSHI!!! <3 <3 <3

If you don't know, allow me to explain a bit. NJPW is THE REASON I like wrestling. The first match I fell in love with was Taguchi vs Low Ki. And ever since, I have been keeping my eye on the promotion. I used to joke about going to a match if they ever came to the states, and they did in the past years, but this time, it was basically in the backyard!!! And what an incredible night! And it was so LOUD!!! I never realized hitting the ring could be that loud and piercing to the soul! It made everything feel more impressive and impactful! And the amount of sweat that got smacked off the wrestlers was like watching a fog roll in! I never imagined that seeing a match live could be so much more exciting than watching it from a screen. Every match that night was great (except for Bushi's, cause I wanted him and Shun Skywalker to win 😅). If you get a chance and have the coin to spare, you can watch the full night here. If not, you can see some of the highlights over on the NJPW World Official Instagram tagged with #ASJF2023.

I know I don't talk too much about my non-art life here, but this is kinda like, a dream come true for me. <3 Kinda the reason I draw so many wrestling characters, so yeah, important life event for those who want to know a bit of SNY lore. :P Photo taken by @taylorsanmiguel (over on Instagram).
