About the artwork

This painting which looks like it was painted on a wall is bursting with attitude. A roller derby player in full flow, with bright pink hair, a tongue piercing and skulls on her knee pads, shouts "YOU WISH!" as she defiantly sticks her finger forward. Everything about her posture and gaze exudes confidence and strength. She is not going to let anyone through without a fight.

The use of colour is bright and contrasting. Lime green as an energetic background, black lines and accents powerfully framing the figure, and striking pink tones enhancing her punk look. The whole thing is reminiscent of a comic book or DIY poster from the underground scene. Brutal, raw and full of character.

This work is made for those who will stop at nothing. Perfect for any roller derby player with a raw edge and a large dose of guts.

Roller derby is a fast, 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.
