The Greatest Live Art Competition In The KNOWN UNIVERSE

Believe it or not, Super Art Fight fans, but a college is letting us do a show.

We are proud to announce that this Friday night, we will be making our UMBC debut with a unique card pitting SAF talent against some of UMBC’s finest artistic talent to see who truly has the skills!

At noon tomorrow, a group of specially selected UMBC artists will battle to see who has the skills (and the guts) to be true art fighters in an event judged by SAF talent.  Then, tomorrow night at 7pm in the Sports Zone, we at Super Art Fight will present a full card, featuring not only Super Art Fight talent, but specifically selected UMBC students from the noon time card.

So, UMBC, come out and cheer on your fellow classmates and enjoy a unique Super Art Fight card you won’t see anywhere else – the price is hard to beat: free!

Appearing from the Super Art Fight Roster are as follows:

• Super Art Fight Champion Michael “Spaghetti Kiss” Bracco
• Super Art Fight Tag Champions Nick “Ghostfreehood” Borkowicz & Kelsey “Killer” Wailes
• Jamie “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi
• “Charm City Shinobi” Dann Malihom

And the show will be hosted, as always, by our team of Marty Day and Ross Nover.

It’s sure to be a unique and fun night at UMBC, and we can’t wait to see you – join us tomorrow night!

On Saturday Night, November 5th, 2011, we at Super Art Fight are proud to be making our return to the Nation’s Capital, Washington DC at one of our homes away from home, the wonderful Red Palace.

We’ve already announced our musical guest for the evening, the video game rockers in Rare Candy, now we’re ready to announce our three bout card, sending our roster of talented artists onto the road to Super Art Fight 12!

The Red Palace has held two of our most outrageous shows to date, so we knew we had to deliver with this card, and deliver we have, with three super solid bouts featuring some of our best talents to tackle the canvas.

Coming up on November 5th, you will see these three bouts!

“The Nicest Man in Art Fight” Brandon J. Carr versus Darl “Apocalypse” Gnau

2011 has been a heck of a year for new talent in Super Art Fight. Brandon J. Carr, while a 2010 debut, has truly made a name for himself, defeating many of SAF’s top talents and carving his niche as a unique star in the mix of the Super Art Fight roster while ascending to the top row of championship contenders. Opposing Carr on November 5th is Darl Gnau. Having risen above 15 other competitors through the Super ARt Fight Idol tournament, he has made a big splash since becoming a full time member of the SAF roster back at Super Art Fight 11, and even defeated SAF Champion Michael Bracco and SAF co-founder Nick Borkowicz earlier this month.  This bout is all about two hungry fighters striving to make their name in Super Art Fight and is sure to be one of the most hard fought all night long. Strap in – this is gonna be a good one!

Jamie “Brawlin” Baldwin versus Chris “Impact” Impink

Chris Impink and Jamie Baldwin have each been a part of Super Art Fight since it’s inception.  Both have seen the growth of the company alongside their growth as SAF veterans and legends in the making.  But over 2011, each has battled to keep their spot amongst growing adversity. Impink has found success reinventing himself as the battling robot “MECHA IMPINK”, but for Jamie Baldwin, she’s been trying to fight her way out of a tough spot. Since dropping the SAF title at the beginning of the year to Michael Bracco, she’s tried her hand at the tag world, fought in singles, but nothing has yet to stick.  With just two events remaining in the Super Art Fight calendar year, it’s time for these fighters to gain momentum heading into 2012 – but who will make the true IMPACT?

Super Art Fight Champion Michael “Spaghetti Kiss” Bracco versus Jamie “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi in a non-title bout

This is a true battle of Super Art Fight titans. On one side, Michael “Spaghetti Kiss” Bracco, the current and only two-time Super Art Fight Champion, the main who has become the face of Super Art Fight. On the other, the crazy and unpredictable Angry Zen Master, Jamie Noguchi, the first ever Super Art Fight Champion and co-creator of this sport we call our own. The last time these gentlemen battled was before a sold-out Frederick, Maryland audience and the bout came down to the wire. This time, they’re in DC and ANYTHING can and will happen.  Be at the Red Palace to see whose hand is raised in victory.

Tickets will be on sale soon for our DC return, at just $15. Be sure to get your tickets early, as The Red Palace fills up quickly. We can’t wait to see you there!

The Super Art Fight Fall 2011 tour continues with a return to one of our favorite venues, a home away from home, if you will, Washington DC’s own RED PALACE!

We’ll be taking to the Red Palace stage for a 3rd time on Saturday Night, November 5th, 2011.

The Red Palace has housed some of our craziest events, and we’re very excited to return with a stacked three bout card.  We’ll be announcing the bouts on Monday Night, right here at SuperArtFight.com, but we’re excited to announce a unique twist for our latest appearance in the nation’s capital.

Since we broke into the DC market, our fans have wondered if we could find a way to do an 18+ show, we’re proud to say that on November 5th, the show will be admitting those 18 and up.  And, to bring a taste of what you get in Baltimore, we’re proud to feature a musical act for the evening…

Joining us on November 5th is a SAF crowd favorite, and a band we can’t wait to perform with again – RARE CANDY!

That’s right, the rockin’ video gamer four piece will be blowing minds alongside us in Washington, DC.  3 Super Art Fight bouts, two stunning sets from Rare Candy, it all makes for one of the best nights of entertainment you can have. Join us on November 5th!

Last March, we at Super Art Fight had the honor and pleasure of making our Frederick, Maryland debut, showcasing our unique traveling live art competition in front of a sold out crowd at the amazing Cultural Arts Center.

This Saturday night, October 8th, we return with a packed card featuring some of Super Art Fight’s absolute best – and, for those who were unfortunately shut out last time, we’ve moved into the facilites larger room to allow for a bigger audience.  The event features some of our most elite homegrown talent, and we cannot wait to bring the fury back to Frederick.

The doors for the show open at 7pm with the show starting at 8pm, your hosts are our standard commentary team of Marty Day and Ross Nover.

Here’s what you will see tackling the canvas on Saturday night.

Super Art Fight Tag Champion Kelsey “Killer” Wailes vs. Chris “Impact” Impink
Having battled on separate sides of relentless tag team action back at Super Art Fight XI in Baltimore, Wailes and Impink battle one on one as the feud between these teams continues through 2011.  Wailes is looking to avenge her heartbreaking loss against Michael Bracco at SAFXI and wants to return to the top of the singles rankings, while Impink wants to keep his positive momentum since forming Team Impact rolling into SAF12 next month. Who will come out on top?

Jamie “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi vs. Bryan “Silent But Violent” Prindiville
For Bryan “Silent But Violent” Prindiville, it’s been nearly six months since he’s been in an Art Fight proper. Last seen fighting Michael Bracco for the Super Art Fight Championship, Prindiville has been even more silent than usual, keeping quiet and waiting for the time to re-enter the fray. At Super Art Fight XI, he shocked the SAF fanbase by returning as a member of Team Impact, being a crucial third member for Super Art Fight’s newest stable, but Saturday night, he returns against one of his new friends.  As the road to Super Art Fight 12 begins, the SAF Championship Committee is looking for new contenders to battle against the dominant Michael Bracco, and when it comes to championships, there is no such thing as friendships.  But don’t count out Jamie Noguchi – co-founder of this very company, he is one of the most wily and skilled competitors in all of SAF, and Prindiville has never had to battle an opponent so wild and unpredictable.  This will be one to watch for sure!

Generational Three Way Dance: Super Art Fight Tag Champion Nick “Ghostfreehood” Borkowicz vs. Super Art Fight Champion Michael “Spaghetti Kiss” Bracco vs. Darl “Apocalypse” Gnau
Returning to a city that clearly loves Super Art Fight as much as Frederick, we knew that we needed to deliver something truly special as the main event of the card.  And lo, we bring you three generations of Super Art Fight tackling the canvas.  In Nick Borkowicz, you have one of the founders, the pioneer of this unique art form and competition that has mystified audiences and blown away crowds since its inception three years ago. In Michael Bracco, you have the first true star of Super Art Fight, a man who started in the opening bout of our first show and has worked his way to the top, becoming a memorable fan favorite and a two time SAF Champion. And in Darl Gnau, you have the newest generation of Art Fighter, having just become a full time part of the Super Art Fight roster at SAFXI.  Here, he faces not just one, but two of his hardest tests. The future of Super Art Fight will be at stake in this one, and we cannot wait to showcase it in Frederick, Maryland.

Additionally, serving as live, improvised musical accompaniment,  we are proud to announce that Dominic Cerquetti will be joining us in attendance, melting faces with his keyboards!

Tickets will be available at the door for just $10, but can be pre-purchased by calling 301-662-4190!

For those who are looking to make this weekend a Super Art Fight weekend, if you are in the Baltimore area be sure to check out the amazing Death Star Art Show, an art show mashing up horror favorites with Star Wars, featuring many Super Art Fight competitors past and present.

So, for nearly every single show, people have IMed, emailed, Tweeted or otherwise contacted us asking HEY! CAN I FLYER FOR YOU?

And we’re always very very flattered. But we normally don’t take you up on it. No, we don’t know why either.

HOWEVER! WE’RE GOING TO! STARTING NOW!

Saturday, October 8th, we will be returning to Frederick, MD - and since so many of you said you want to flyer for us, the flyer at the top is print ready (designed for an 8.5×11 page) so you can run to your local Kinkos, print out some copies on your printer, spread it on Facebook, whatever you like!  Take the Super Art Fight love to the people! Spread the word!

Just remember to click the image above to get a full-resolution version of the flyer.  Thanks in advance, you beautiful people!

We’ve long said that Connecticut is Super Art Fight‘s home away from home, so it’s with much excitement and enjoyment that we look forward to our return to New England this weekend, as a part of the first ever Webcomics Con in Norwalk, CT.

Webcomics Con looks to be an absolutely fantastic event for fans of webcomics, with a packed guest list and a show location that is, if the hotel website is any indication, simply stunning.  Somehow, we found ourselves on the guest list, and we look forward to bringing forth a great show with a top to bottom solid card.

Three years ago, we at Super Art Fight set out to entertain one room in one city, in one state.  Now, here we are, in Fall 2011 as we embark on one of our most ambitious touring schedules ever, featuring 5 different shows up and down the East Coast over 6 weeks.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PANEL IS 18+ AND ABSOLUTELY NO PHOTOGRAPHS OR RECORDING WILL BE ALLOWED. THERE WILL BE ONE WARNING. YOU BREAK IT, YOU’RE GONE. WE HAVE DAYJOBS AND REPUTATIONS AND LIKE TO KEEP THEM.

We’ll see you on Saturday!

Folks, there is nothing we love more than getting to come back to a Super Art Fight town.

So you can imagine how excited we are that in September, we’ll be back in Rockville, Maryland for TWO WEEKENDS in a ROW, presenting two, VERY unique, VERY different events.

Saturday, September 10th brings SPX (Small Press Expo) to Rockville, MD.  For the first time ever, we at Super Art Fight get to serve as the post Ignatz Awards entertainment, showcasing a short, two bout set mixing Super Art Fight legends with the stars of the independent comics world to a brand new audience!

The following weekend, Saturday, September 17th, we return to the scene of quite a few mind crimes, as we return for the second annual Intervention internet convention!  If you saw us there LAST year, you know the deal for THIS year. During the afternoon, we’ll be doing an all age…OK, PG-13 live show full of the Super Art Fight action you know and love.  But as the night gets later, hold on to your butts, as we’ll be presenting Super Art Fight Unleashed, an 18+ event that mixes no-holds barred Q&A with the entire Super Art Fight family along with some of the most bizarre, surreal and downright deplorable art created by our crew that you will EVER see.  Please note – due to the unique nature of the event (and the fact that we have day jobs), NO PHOTOGRAPHY OR VIDEO WILL BE ALLOWED. If we see you do it, you’re out.  So you’ll want to join us LIVE for this one, as you just get ONE chance to experience it – in PERSON.

Click the links on both con names for full ticket details, and in the days and weeks closer, we’ll share out with you a full roster of talent and the scheduled bouts!  We hope to see all of our DC/MD area fans across these two shows and meet more along the way, it’s going to be great fun this September!
