SCHAMBERGER PAYS TRIBUTE TO RICOCHET

Rob Schamberger's latest AEW painting is AEW Champion Ricochet.

Schamberger commented, "Since so much of Ricochet’s in-ring action is synonymous with being a high flyer, I thought this was an excellent opportunity to pull on my love of superhero comics to take this painting in an unexpected direction. When I got my first comic book when I was 8 years old, I immediately knew that I wanted to make art and that obviously stayed with me. You can see it in a lot of how I utilize positive and negative space, as well as my color choices and how I apply them.  Anyway, with this piece I thought it’d be fun to have him fly REALLY high, way up in the sky. The lighter blues and whites of the background helped to frame his figure in the composition. I also added a bit of red to his face, speaking to him being, y’know, upside down and the blood rushing to his head. Fun piece to make!"

There are limited edition signed art prints of the painting available now at ShopAEW.com.
