Apologies for the long post but I’ve decided the time is right for me to step away from covering professional wrestling. Here’s some rambling about why I’ve made the decision. Thank you to everyone who has ever been supportive, especially to everyone at @Inside_TheRopes!

If anyone wants to see more of my drawings, I post them regularly on Instagram - which is the only social media app I use regularly these days - and I’ve recently made a little post with a fair few of my drawings. instagram.com/p/DTvznxsDJ0C/…

Here’s another little selection because the one posted is pretty niche. Almost everything I draw is music related - sometimes a redraw of pre-existing artwork, sometimes a little reference to something, or sometimes a new design from scratch - but it’s all done by hand.

Hey, ̶T̶w̶i̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ X It’s been a while and I’m not sure I’ll ever return to using this app because the world is a brighter place outside of it. For now, an update. I sold prints of my drawings at a market last week. Here’s me and my best-selling print from the market.

@WRESTLEZONEcom @SeanRossSapp Man, I miss you guys too (and Sean, of course!) But I'm just glad I managed to retire from wrestling media before I also contracted a medical condition that means I get hernias.

@SeanRossSapp "he HAS to wear it" - chest protector AND a special belt. 🙄🤣 Also, I miss @GaryOnACross

I'm tired of this fraud, Tom Colohue. He got run out of wrestling media because he got caught making up stories, and tried to get people FIRED when they corrected him. After he got called out, he went away, said he was done with "scoops" and then came back and claimed he was bullied away. @Colohue keep my name out of your mouth, fraud.

@WAVHistheMOC Thank you!

Been out of the wrestling game for a while now but a certain piece of software that shows social media memories has reminded me that I sent this tweet four years ago today.

Anyway, probably my last whatever-they’re-called-now for a while. I use Instagram and TikTok a lot under the same name if any wants more non-wrestling ramblings. Same name as here. I also sell prints on Etsy. Feel free to check those out. Also same name as here.

Also I don’t tweet much (they’re not even called that anymore) so hello again, and likely goodbye again, but while I’m here. Still subtitling. Kinda stopped writing. Started drawing again. Miss the wrestling stuff sometimes and still watch casually, but it’s nicer on this side.

Still doing a load of sketches based on punk and pop punk songs, but I don’t post them here anymore because, frankly, I hate this app and what it’s become. More over on my Instagram, where I also post reels of the drawings, as well as on TikTok. Same name on both, @garyonacross

I have started making some @GreenDay (and other pop punk bands) beaded bracelets to keep my mind busy - also selling them on my Etsy shop if anyone wants to have a look 🖤 beadingheartbaby.etsy.com

👹 “What’s your favourite dish? I’m not gonna cook it but…” 👹 Can’t wait to see @tenaciousd live on Thursday, so what better way to prepare than by watching The Pick of Destiny, then drawing a little sketch up while listening to their discography?

@pinkavalanches @MCRofficial Thank you!

@Wildsunn Thank you!

@GaryOnACross That's insane

Tried something a bit different today. I think my first time ever drawing a panther!
