Super Art Fight is a live improvised art competition based in the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore area where artists compete for audience approval by sketching random topics on a mural-sized canvas. The event was birthed at Katsucon in 2008 and has grown to include a rotating roster of artists, a podcast, and online competitions. The main Super Art Fight style involves individual artists (or pairs) facing off in front of a live audience.[1] Topics change throughout the match and the winner is determined by Clap-o-meter/Sound level meter.[1]
As many of the participating artists are webcomic creators the art is generally in a cartoon or comic style, sometimes with manga and other style influences. pop culture references are common, as are mentions of memes, classic science fiction movies, and other geek/nerd mainstays.[2] Since debuting in 2008, Super Art Fight has now put on over 100 shows at a wide variety of venues [1]
