The rules of Super Art Fight are simple and are listed here for your connivence.

1st Rule: You do not talk about Super Art Fight.

2nd Rule: You DO NOT talk about Super Art Fight.

3rd Rule: If someone says “stop” or goes limp, taps out the fight is over.

4th Rule: Only two artists to a fight.

5th Rule: One fight at a time.

6th Rule: No shirts, no shoes.

7th Rule: Fights will go on as long as they have to.

8th Rule: If this is your first night at Super Art Fight, you HAVE to fight.

Don’t quote me on the rules.

MCs and comic artists Marty Day and Ross Nover are like the human versions of Mystery Science Theater 3000 robots, totally hilarious, and both are among the five original creators of Super Art Fight. Here the duo stands below the spinning ‘Wheel of Death.’ Contestants pull a lever and the wheel spits out a topic that is then improvised in illustration, topics like robots, tophats, or Mystery Science 3000.

Charm City Roller Girl Chelsea Grose , or as she’s known to fans “Gross Misconduct” is no stranger to a fight. Chelsea – who is also a designer and website developer – trades jabs with the un-intimidated artist Kelsey Wailes, a woman who’s website lists her tools of the trade as: “Rubber tubing, gas, saw, gloves, cuffs, razor wire, hatchet, Gladys, and my mitts.” Follow the link and see for yourself.

Illustrators turned pro-wrestlers?! Michael Bracco and silent but violent Bryan Prindiville fight for art dominance at Super Art Fight 7. Luckily there were no fatalities… this time.
