About the artwork

This illustration is bursting with energy. A roller derby player dives sharply into the corner, fists clenched, gaze focused. Her turquoise cockscomb blows with the momentum, while her bright pink roller skates are adorned with bright blue wings. A playful and powerful detail. She wears striped stockings, a rose tattoo on her upper arm and an outfit that exudes speed as well as personality.

The style is rough and direct, as if drawn with black ink and chalk on coarse paper. The colour palette contrasts sharply: beige as the background, with bursts of pink, yellow and turquoise in the details. The whole thing exudes punk, guts and independence.

This artwork is perfect for those who are bold and proud of their roller derby identity.

Roller derby is a fast-paced, physical team sport played on roller skates (quads) on an oval track. Two teams of five players each compete against each other in short rounds of play, called "jams".
Each team has one "jammer" (identified by a star on its helmet) who can score points by overtaking opponents on the track. The other players are "blockers" and try to help their own jammer and stop the opponent's jammer. This is done by strategic pushing, blocking and positioning.
The sport is intense, tactical and spectacular, with a strong sense of community and often a distinctive, punk-like culture surrounding it. It is mainly played by women, but there are also mixed and men's matches.
