Hey friends, Rob Schamberger here! In a first for me, I have two gallery shows on the same night on Friday, August 3rd for FREE.
I will be primarily located at Kultured Chameleon showing some of my wrestling paintings and debuting my portrait of Rey Mysterio as a part of their Stencil Art Group Show. The other artists featured are eeK’s Art, JT Daniels, Jon Munden, Erok Johnson, Kevin Perkins and Sike Style. Behind the gallery, you’ll find a graffiti battle to determine the ‘King of the Wall’ (starting to sound like a wrestling show instead of an art show, isn’t it?). There will be live music starting at 9PM featuring local hip hop artists.Throughout the event, we’ll be doing a giveaways of fashion jewelry like a gold teeth grill sponsored by Niv’s Bling. In addition to my new Rey Mysterio painting, I’ll have some stencil-painted sketch cards available of Sting (as seen above)!
Meanwhile, just TWO DOORS DOWN, I’ll have some of the foxy ladies from my prior collection of paintings on display at Moore Remodeling, now in their third month showing there!
And of course, next weekend me and my art will be on hand at Metro Pro Wrestling, making my art on display in three different venues at the same time in Kansas City!
Thank you again to everyone who has shown support to what I’m doing. You all have made my life incredibly awesome! Here’s a video showing my process for making the Rey Mysterio painting and a sneak peak of the final piece!
Kultured Chameleon is located at 1739 Oak Street, Kansas City, MO 64108. Moore Remodeling is two doors North at 1729 Oak Street! Metro Pro Wrestling returns on August 11th at the Turner Rec Center in Kansas City, KS featuring a hardcore women’s match between Ms Natural and MsChif!
You can keep up on all of the craziness I’m into at:

MWR Owner Brian Kelley was honored to present Harley Race his lifetime Achievement plaque with art from acclaimed artist Rob Schamberger- Photo credit Bill Smith
By Brian Kelley
Missouri Wrestling Revival first awards were given for 2008, as we looked to honor the men and women of the Midwest. To bring them exposure to the west and east coast as well as the fans of the Midwest.
The award for MWR Lifetime Achievement Award was a no-brainer as it would be the former 8-time NWA World Champion Harley Race. Race has traveled around the world bringing respectability to the sport of wrestling since his debut in 1960. While he won World titles, entertained fans as “King” Harley Race during the boom years of the 80’s at WWF (E) his biggest contributions could very well be outside of the ring. Race currently owns the wrestling school the Harley Race Academy as well as the wrestling promotion World League Wrestling. The school provides the proper training to be a pro wrestler and have produced stand out wrestlers such as Trevor Murdock, Matt Murphy, Wade Chism, Bull Schmitt, Joe Hennig, Keith Walker and current WWE Ref John Cone.
Just as important as the school for the aspiring wrestlers, WLW for over ten plus years has been able to raised over 250,000 thousand dollars for the families, communities and schools around the Midwest with wrestling fundraising shows.
He is a member of every prestigious and worthy Wrestling Hall of fame around the World and it was with great pleasure that we were to present Harley Race with a worthy MWR Lifetime Achievement plaque with a great illustration of the one of the worlds greatest wrestlers of all-time from artist Rob Schamberger.
Today’s WLW is filled with a great roster from the WLW Champ Jason Jones, Brian Breaker, Ryan Drago, Jeff Strong, Jack Gamble, Mark Sterling, Steve Fender ,Dustin Bozworth, Stacey O’Brien, Miss Natural just to name a few.
