Sixty fighters, one night each

Nothing on the sheet can go out of date

A fighter's record changes. His ranking changes. The number of title defences changes. Any poster that prints those is wrong the moment it is framed, and it gets more wrong every year it hangs there.

So none of it is on these. What is printed is height, reach, stance and date of birth — which do not move — honours that are permanent once won, and one line naming the night the picture is from. A poster bought this year says the same true thing in ten years.

One moment, read three ways

Each fighter gets one moment, and each of the three series treats that moment differently. The Record is the documentary photograph inside an editorial card. The Painting is oils, heavy brushwork, the name lettered in the same loaded brush. The Night is a magenta-and-cyan portrait with the name burning underneath in glass tube.

They are not three crops of one file. They are three separate pieces, and the caption under each one describes what is in that picture rather than what is in the other two.

Fan art, and it says so

This is independent fan art of fighters, made because the moments are worth hanging. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed from any promotion, athlete or organisation, and that line is in the footer of every page rather than buried.

There are no invented signatures on any print. If a poster looks signed, it would be a lie printed on someone's wall.

The type

The posters are set in Franklin Gothic — a 1902 American gothic, the face of a century of fight bills and sports pages. This site is set in Libre Franklin, a revival of the same design, so the shop and the thing it sells share a typeface rather than merely coordinating.

The print

Masters are generated at 3392 × 5056 and 3720 × 5580 — well beyond what any of the offered sizes need — on museum-weight matte stock.

Every size is true 2:3, which is why the largest is 16 × 24 and not the more common 18 × 24. An 18 × 24 frame is 3:4: filling it means cropping eleven percent off the height, and on these that is exactly where the tube lettering and the brush signature sit. A size that requires destroying the bottom of the artwork is not a size worth selling.
