And plenty more good arts!
As curator to this article I always strive to do right by artists, which I always thought would be limited to making sure I get artist consent and to credit them properly. I recently learned my responsibility extends beyond that. Nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, are a form of cryptocurrency where bitcoin traders can profit off of art and tweets without permission. Worse yet is the environmental damage these NFTs cause. The power used to mint these digital images on the blockchain uses somewhere between weeks and decades of the average EU or US citizen’s energy use.
I have taken the time to block many traders dealing in NFTs on both my personal Twitter and Love Wrestling Twitter in an effort to curb any harm this gallery may cause. If there is more I can do, please email me – zak@lovewrestling.ca – to let me know what exactly that is so I can better help protect your art.

All fan art is curated with permission from the artists. If you are the artist of any of these pieces and have changed your mind or believe we have had a misunderstanding regarding permission, please inform us and we will have it removed.
If you’d like to have some of your wrestling fan art featured, send me an email or at me on Twitter to call my attention to your latest work!
