“Best in the World.”
Own a one-of-a-kind tribute to “The Second City Saint” with this 1-of-1 original stencil painting. This isn’t a mass-produced poster or a digital print; it is a physical work of art, hand-painted on a premium 11×14″ wood panel in my Buffalo, NY studio.
I created this piece to capture the grit and intensity of CM Punk’s iconic persona. The portrait features Punk in his classic gear, complete with the World Heavyweight Championship and his signature tattoos. To tie the piece to his roots, the subject is set against a high-contrast diagonal split of Chicago Blue and red—a direct tribute to his hometown flag.
The process involves a multi-layer technique using custom-cut stencils and hand-applied professional acrylics. This physical layering creates a depth and sharp graphic definition that sets it apart from standard merchandise, making it a true centerpiece for any wrestling fan’s collection or media room.
The Process & Materials: To ensure this piece remains a durable part of your archive, it is prepared on a professional cradled wood panel. This provides a modern, sturdy profile that sits prominently on your wall. The entire painting is finished with a protective satin top-coat, which deepens the Chicago-inspired colors while eliminating the harsh, distracting reflections caused by room lighting. Each original is signed on the front by the artist (thinksojoe) and arrives with a pre-installed sawtooth hanger, ready to hang immediately.
