The Mixed Martial Artist

MMA t-shirts and art
The Mixed Martial Artist at Zazzle!

MMA has climbed to the top of the food chain to become one of the most popular sports in the world today. I've been a fan since the original Ultimate Fighting Championship was held back in the early 1990's. Back then, the tournament was held to determine what was truly the most effective fighting style of all of the martial arts. It was exciting to see unique match ups of world class martial artists with almost every discipline represented. Since then, the UFC has evolved tremendously. The rules are much stricter, there are now weight classes and a limited number of timed rounds. The competitors have also evolved in all aspects, becoming the highly trained, well-rounded fighter that is today's Mixed Martial Artist. 
I am certainly a Fan of MMA. I am also graphic designer that appreciates the classic art produced by the master painters and sculptors from years gone by. We've combined MMA and some iconic masterpieces to create Our Unique Mixed Martial Artist Gift Shop. Mixed Martial Artist showcases great works by Michaelangelo, Van Gogh, Leonardo DaVinci, George Bellows, Edvard Munch, Rodin and more that were graphically infused with the awesomeness that is MMA . Check out our MMA Lisa, Starry Fight Night, The Creation of MMA, Vitruvian Man- MMA Fighter, The Scream- MMA Style, The Thinker and More. You'll see that Our MMA t-shirts, posters, mugs and more make perfect gift items for those who literally appreciate The Mixed Martial Arts.

Starting at the top left we have MMA's version of The Scream. The Scream is a classic painting by expressionist Edvard Munch in 1893. This world-famous artwork depicts a mummy like figure screaming with hands to the face in distorted agony. The Scream is globally recognized as an icon in today's pop culture as it is featured in some form in a variety of movies, cartoons, products and advertisements.  
Our version of The Scream features a weird looking Mixed Martial Artist sporting MMA gloves, a tattoo and shorts. MMA is truly the ultimate scream. This MMA Fighter looks great on our Mixed Martial Arts t-shirts, posters, stickers, mugs, buttons and more. 
Top center features our MMA Thinker. The Thinker created in the great tradition of Michaelangelo is an iconic sculpture by Auguste Rodin in 1902. This world-famous artwork depicts a man pondering a deep internal struggle while seated on a stone. To this day, The Thinker is widely recognized as a symbol for philosophy and intellect. The Thinker has also inspired countless other artists in rcreating their own version.

Top Right showcases the Creation of MMA based on  Michaelangelo's The Creation of Adam.  This masterpiece is part of a world-renowned Fresco painted on the Sistine Chapel ceiling by  c. 1511 during the Renaissance. This world-famous artwork illustrates the Bible's Book of Genesis at the time Adam was created.  To this day, The Creation has inspired a multitude of other artists in painting and illustrating their own versions, often as parodies. Examples can be seen in magazine illustration, advertisements, movies and cartoons.
Our version of The Creation zooms in on the two hands with the index fingers touching. Of course, We have the hand outfitted with MMA gloves, resulting in the Creation of MMA.  Our version of Michaelangelo's Creation looks great on our variety of Mixed Martial Arts Swag. 
Bottom left shows MMA Lisa inspired by the Mona Lisa of course. he Mona Lisa also painted by Leonardo da Vinci c. 1503-1519 is arguably the most recognized painting in the world. The enigmatic portrait has been studied countless times through the ages and our fascination of The Mona Lisa seems to never wane. The original is currently displayed at the Musee du Louvre in Paris. 
Our version titled MMA Lisa features Mona with a black eye and a bit of a bloody nose. Of course MMA Lisa is outfitted with MMA gloves.  Our version of Leonardo's Mona Lisa looks great on all of our Mixed Martial Arts gear. The MMA Girl in your family will love our Mixed Martial Arts Stuff.
Bottom center features Starry Starry MMA Fight Night. Post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh created The Starry Night in 1889.  The nocturnal scene records the view that Van Gogh had just outside the window of the sanitarium room he once occupied. This work has become widely regarded as Van Gogh's masterpiece. Starry Night, an iconic image,  is also one of the most reproduced images of all time.
We absolutely love this painting. We added several MMA elements such as a variety of MMA gloves and fists as well as an MMA cage to the work. We titled the resulting effort... Starry MMA Fight Night. Check out all of our cool Mixed Martial Arts t-shirts, posters, stickers, mugs, buttons and more.

The Vitruvian Man is an iconic pen and ink drawing by Leonardo da Vince c. 1487 during the Renaissance. This world-famous artwork depicts a man in two superimposed poses within a square and a circle revealing the Proportions of Man. Vitruvian Man is but one of many examples of how Leonardo da Vinci enjoyed mixing art and science. To this day, Vitruvian Man has been employed as a symbol for science and medicine. The Vitruvian Man has also inspired a multitude of other artists in drawing their own version.
Our version of Vitruvian Man features a Mixed Martial Artist sporting MMA gloves and shorts. Our Vitruvian Man rocks the cage as he seeks to dominate his next opponent. This MMA Fighter looks great on our Mixed Martial Arts posters too!
