Incredible work, really awesome. But I don't understand why you'd want to paint Hulk Hogan after he was outed as a huge racist. I know that few 80s icons are angels, and even fewer in the wrestling biz can claim to be decent humans, but still. Why not paint Macho Man instead? Just a thought. Doesn't detract from the artistry

Thanks! You're closer to getting what was intended with this painting than you might realize. This was painted in 2019 when we were at the height of a particular orange man with a controversial background portraying himself as a savior.

Macho man would be sick though.

Ahh ok. That's fair enough then. I just really don't like Hogan as a human and I see a lot of people continuing to worship him, even after the comments went public. Beautiful work regardless.
