And hey, if you can’t catch us then – we’ll be around all weekend long as guests of the convention.  More details on what we’ll be up to coming soon!

It’s been a long journey since we announced the first details for this show back in November, but after months of planning, arranging and plotting, we’re mere moments away from taking the stage at the Ottobar, ready to present what might just be our best show to date – Super Art Fight 6.

For those of you on the fence, or for you dedicated fans who already pre-ordered your tickets and are counting down the hours, here are all the last minute details you may need.

The doors at the Ottobar will be opening promptly at 8pm, with the show starting on (or shortly after) 9pm.

Tickets will be available at the door, for the low price of just $10.

Once the show kicks off, here’s the order for the events of the evening…

• Bout 1 – 4-Way Battle Royale: Bryan “Silent But Violent” Prindiville vs. Joe Dunn vs. Chris “Impact” Impink vs. Chelsea “Grose Misconduct” Grose.
• Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad Set #1
• Bout 2 – Rookie vs. Veteran: Kelsey Wailes vs. Jami “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi
• Bout 3 – #1 Contender’s Match: Garth Graham vs. Nick “Ghostfreehood” Borkowicz
• Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad Set #2
• Bout 4 – Main Event – Super Art Fight Championship Bout: Michael Bracco defends against Jamie Baldwin

This is what it’s all been leading up to, and we intend to deliver.  We’ll see you later tonight at the Ottobar, and we’ll be back tomorrow with a full run down of what went down.

With only 11 days until Super Art Fight 6 rocks the Ottobar, our artists are pushing harder and training like never before to tackle whatever the Wheel of Death has for them.

But, as mentioned in our super awesome new promo video (which, if you haven’t watched, you really should), the Wheel of Death is ultimately controlled by you – the Super Art Fight fan.

So of course, we need your topics! Toss in what you want our artists to draw in the comments to this post, and we’ll add the topics to the Wheel of Death for Super Art Fight 6!

Comments will be open through Wednesday, January 20th, so suggest early and suggest often! You never know if your topic will be picked!

At each Super Art Fight, we work as hard as we can to better each show that came before it.

And in this, our first show to feature four bouts, we had to make each one count.

We have a Generation War…a Battle for #1 Contendership…and our main event for the title.

What can we do to make the fourth match stand out?

At Super Art Fight 6, we proudly present the return of the ever exciting, always crazy BATTLE ROYALE!

This time, filled with four competitors, not only will this match be a showcase of stellar talent, but it could easily be the match of the night.

Let’s run down the four artists you’ll be seeing in this Battle Royale…

Chris “Impact” Impink: Fresh off of challenging for the Super Art Fight title back at Super Art Fight 5, Impink is ready to begin his road to the title anew, as he starts fresh, and works his way to the top from the bottom. Having finished the stellar comic Fragile Gravity, Impink debuts his new comic, the roller girl based Sledgebunny on January 11th.  You have to wonder – has studying the fighting spirit of the roller girls instilled some fight in Impink?  The other 3 competitors beware – Chris is ready to be at the top of the mountain again, and will do anything to be there!

Bryan Prindiville: Despite being in two losing efforts in his first two appearances in a Super Art Fight proper, Prindiville has built quite the following amongst the Art Fight fans, and it was this following which lead the SAF Championship Committee to bump him up to full-time roster member.  This artist of Hello With Cheese is fast becoming notable for his “silent but violent” tendencies, and may just stealthy make his way into the Winners Circle on January 23rd!

Joe Dunn: After a stellar first Art Fight against Yuko Ota at Connecticon 2009, the SAF Championship Committee wanted to get a hold of this NYC native and put him on a Super Art Fight event as soon as possible.  The date – January 23rd, the place – The Ottobar, the show – Super Art Fight 6.  And on this night, Dunn promises to outlast his 3 opponents.  Joe may love crappy movies, as his comic title indicates, but on a sure to be chilly night in January, Dunn will love one thing more – the sweet taste of victory.

Chelsea Grose: Last, but far from least, comes the debut of Chelsea Grose.  While she’s yet to tackle the canvas in an Art Fight prior, this talented artist not only has the skills when it comes to the pen and paper, but also on the field – as a Charm City Roller Girl!  Her inexperience may hinder her against 3 opponents, but on the 23rd in Charm City, Chesea promises to show us all why they call her “Grose Misconduct”!

4 amazing competitors. 2 Super Art Fight Debuts. Only 1 winner.

Join us at the Ottobar on January 23rd at Super Art Fight 6 when the victor is decided!  Get your tickets today!

This past July at Super Art Fight 4, we began our new talent initiative with the first ever Do Or Die Battle Royale.  Six artistic talents, all brand new to the Super Art Fight stage battled to get a coveted slot on the Super Art Fight roster.

In a twist to our normal victory selection process, the victor was chosen not by the audience, but instead a jury of their peers – the existing Super Art Fight roster themselves.

As the dust settled, one Art Fighter to Be’s hand was raised in victory – that of Kelsey Wailes.

At Super Art Fight 5, Kelsey was thrown from the proverbial frying pan directly into the fire, as she was placed in a tag match alongside Bryan Prindiville against veteran SAF roster member Jamie Baldwin and the talented creator of Girls With Slingshots, Danielle Corsetto.

Kelsey’s team was unfortunately on the losing side of the equation, but she showed the same level of spark and art fighting ability which allowed her access into the roster in the first place.

Internally, expectations for Kelsey were high – she truly could be one of the next greats – but how can we get her to the next level?

The idea was simple – continue to put Kelsey through the Super Art Fight paces, as she has to face another Super Art Fight veteran one on one!

And it doesn’t really get any bigger than this.

Kelsey won’t just be facing a veteran SAF roster member – she’ll be facing one of the men who invented the whole thing in the first place!

On Saturday, January 23rd live at the Ottobar in Baltimore at Super Art Fight 6…it’s a Veteran vs. Rookie Battle as we proudly present…

Kelsey Wailes vs. Jami “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi

Be excited as Jami is. Get hyped for January 23rd, get your tickets today, and leave your thoughts here in the comments or on our brand new fan forum!

Since it’s inception, there has been much deliberation between both the fans and internal management of Super Art Fight regarding the rankings system.

And for two Super Art Fight competitors in particular, it has been the point of some very heated messages sent to the SAF Championship committee.

The first notes came from Super Art Fight co-founder, Nick “Ghostfreehood” Borkowicz.  Nick, who was last seen at Super Art Fight 5 losing to Lar DeSousa in a hotly-anticipated grudge match, wanted – nay – was demanding a title shot.

Under what logic, you ask?  During our touring shows, not only did Borkowicz defeat then #1 Contender Chris Impink at Tigercon 2009, he also defeated reigning SAF Champion Michael Bracco in a non-title bout in Game-X in Philadelphia.

While he may be a co-founder, the artist known as Ghostfreehood has never tasted championship gold, and with such solid victories under his belt, he feels his time should be now!

But he wasn’t the only disgruntled member of our roster.

Enter Garth Graham.

Graham, our 2nd ever Super Art Fight champion, has laid low on our main shows since losing his Championship to Michael Bracco at Super Art Fight 4 – but hasn’t let his skills become rusty.

He’s appeared at our live shows at Connecticon 2009 and Tigercon 2009, appearing in match of the night candidates at both shows, and most importantly, still has one of the best records of the entire roster.

Furthermore, as he indicated in a tersely worded telegram (the man trusts traditional forms of communication), he didn’t lose his title one on one…it took three opponents to defeat him.

Two great competitors, with two great points.  So what did the SAF Championship Committee decide?

On Saturday night, January 23rd, live at The Ottobar in Baltimore, Maryland – Super Art Fight 6 will be home to the first ever battle for #1 Contendership!

Nick “Ghostfreehood” Borkowicz vs. Garth Graham – with the winner automatically receiving a title shot at Super Art Fight 7!

Be there for the conflict and action in this first time ever one-on-one bout between two Super Art Fight veterans!  Get your tickets today to join us on January 23rd, and discuss the possible outcome on the comments or in our brand-spankin’ new fan forum!

We’ve heard the murmurs.

We know you want the answers.

And this week, all is revealed for Super Art Fight 6.

We gave you an amazing main event, as Michael Bracco defends his Super Art Fight championship against the one person he couldn’t defeat, Jamie Baldwin.

We gave you a musical act unlike any other, with the SAF debut of The Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad.

And this week, the three bouts which make up the rest of the card will be revealed – One a night, over the next three nights.

Here’s a teaser to each match per night, so you can start to guess who will go against who…

Tuesday, January 5th: A Battle for #1 Contendership!

Wednesday, January 6th: Rookie vs. Master

Thursday, January 7th: 4-Way Battle Royale

Keep an eye on our Twitter account so you can be the first to see each update, and discuss each match or the potential matches on our brand spankin’ new fan forum!

In the meantime, enjoy our brand new show poster up top, which you can click for a big version.  We’re thinking of printing a few of these up for sale on January 23rd – what do you think?

So, as you may recall, last year, we at Super Art Fight made a great appearance at the super awesome four day gaming festival known as MAGFest.

After having such a great time, we totally agreed that we needed to come back in 2010.  And foolishly, we thought that was a lot longer away than it was. I mean, just the year itself…2010…it’s the future!.

But yeah, 2010 is THIS WEEKEND. So is MAGFest 2010.

Luckily, the folks at MAGFest hold us to our word! And in turn, we’re very pleased to say that our own Jami “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi & Nick “Ghostfreehood” Borkowicz will be creating a live mural at MAGFest this coming Saturday, January 2nd.

For more details on MAGFest, the greatest gaming festival…..in the world, visit their site right here. And by all means, come out and join us for some mural awesomeness this Saturday!

Greetings, Super Art Fight fans!

It’s been a long and busy few weeks as we not only prepare to celebrate the holidays, but also to get the final preparations for Super Art Fight 6 underway.

As you may’ve noticed,  we’ve been unusually quiet these past few weeks, but it’s all been with a reason, as we attempt to put together the best show we’ve ever had.

If you recall from our original SAF6 announcement, we were attempting to do a show with no bands. Just pure Super Art Fight action.  Sounded like a great plan.  But then we were blindsided.  Knocked on our asses by a band so awesome, so unique, we knew we had to have them.

So it’s an honor and a pleasure to announce, that on Saturday Night, January 23rd, we’ll be bringing you a musical act unlike any other to make for an evening the likes of which Baltimore has never seen…

Our musical guest for the evening – Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad.

As you can see from the photo above, they already fit in with the Super Art Fight aesthetic, and if you head to their website and/or MySpace, you’ll find that they have the musical chops to go along with it.

Also, in addition – just announced by the fine folks at The Ottobar – Super Art Fight 6 tickets go on sale TODAY! at MissionTix.com.  So if you’re planning on joining us on January 23rd, get your tickets starting today, so you aren’t left out in the cold.

Whatever you do, be sure to join us after the holidays, for some stellar artist announcements, along with the full final card for Super Art Fight 6!

At Super Art Fight 5, defending Super Art Fight Champion Michael Bracco did what may considered impossible.

He successfully defended the championship.  After seeing such talented champions as Jami Noguchi and Garth Graham lose the title in their initial defenses, speculation was beginning to grow that the title was cursed!

Wanting to show that his championship win wasn’t a fluke, Bracco trained harder, worked faster, and ultimately defeated Chris Impink for the first successful title defense in Super Art Fight history, and extending his record to a very impressive 4-1.

Not wanting to rest on his laurels, Bracco anxiously awated word from the SAF Championship Committee to discover who his next challenger would be.  Would it be an artist new to the SAF canvas? Would it be one of the SAF veterans, like Nick “Ghostfreehood” Borkowicz?

Nay – it would be the one artist who has defeated him thus far – the first lady of Super Art Fight – Jamie Baldwin.

Baldwin has been wanting to take on Bracco since he started his run toward the top of the SAF mountain, and now she’ll get her chance.  Will Bracco continue his championship dynasty? Will Jamie Baldwin become the first female champion at Super Art Fight?

Only one hand will be raised in victory, and you can be there live – January 23rd. The Ottobar. Baltimore, Maryland. Super Art Fight 6.
