“New collab mural with Upper Hand Art of wrestling legend, Jimmy Hart”
Birdcap
“I traveled to Memphis to conduct some secret missions with Birdcap… the highest ranking of course being a tribute mural to “The Mouth of the South” pro wrestling legend, Jimmy Hart24. Our first order of business was eating at Jerry Lawler’s burger place on Beal St. A Planet Hollywood of wrestling artifacts, staple-gunned to the wall with heel level disregard. We were seated beside Jimmy’s megaphone, which earned its own shelf inside a greater shrine to the King. It was decided there, that we would focus our efforts on repping Jimmy as hard as possible.
The man is a human billboard. His jackets amplify his talent roster, and for us it made the perfect composition. Jimmy wearing Jimmy, wearing Jimmy.”
