Statement by the artist, David Call

This image portrays Matt Hamill as the fearless gladiator leaving a path of defeated gladiators. Gladiator and Mixed Martial Arts fighting are similar in some ways. MMA use different discipline of fighting such as Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu. Gladiator fighting also had different disciplines too. They had Thracian (double hooked swords) , Murmillo ( heavy armored, short sword, small shield), Secutor (light armor, long sword, big shield), and Retiarius (trident spear , weighted fishing net). Matt is trained very well to face different fighters with their own fighting discipline. Matt is using a battle hammer as the weapon of his choice to fight against other gladiators. The battle hammer reflects his nickname: The Hammer. In this image, Matt defeated many gladiators and waiting for next one to challenge him. He screamed ” NEXT!” Thus that is the title of this linocut, NEXT!

Matt Hamill has decided to come out of retirement and fight again in the UFC.

He will be fighting Roger Hollett at UFC 152 in Toronto, Canada on September 22, 2012.

ZVRS will be hosting the Z Festival in Austin, Texas on May 12, 2012. I will be making an appearance there at the Texas School for the Deaf. Come out and meet the ZVRS Team!

AUSTIN, Texas [May 10, 2012] – The Z™ is proud to announce special guest Matt “The Hammer” Hamill,
among other entertainment guests, at its Z Festival to take place Saturday May 12, 2012, at Texas
School for the Deaf (TSD). The event will benefit the Texas School for the Deaf Foundation as well as the
Physical Education Department at TSD.

The Z™, the award-winning pioneer of Video Relay Services (VRS), is excited to bring “The Hammer” to
Austin. Mr. Hamill is a deaf American amateur wrestler and MMA fighter known for his successful reign
in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He was also a three-time NCAA Wrestling Division III National
Champion (167 lb. class in 1997, 190 lb. class in 1998, and 197 lb. class in 1999) while attending the
Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York.

In addition to “The Hammer”, The Z™ has other entertainment venues planned. Rathskellar is a show
like no other, with blasting performance that brings the very best in American Sign Language (ASL)
artistry, percussion and dance. Further, Magic By Nina is a children’s magic show full of Russian cultural
enrichment and laughs.

Various vendors will be present at the Festival as well, including various deaf-owned business owners
and food vendors, such as famed ViUDA Bistro of Buda, and Crazy Crepes of Austin.

The Z Festival will be kicked off by a 5K Run/Walk as well as 1K Run for children, which “The Hammer”
will be none too proud to participate in as well as a glowing role model of fitness for the deaf/hard of
hearing community.

The first narrative film in American history to bring hearing and deaf audiences together in theaters, can now play in your own living room. Winner of countless Audience Awards and inspiring for the entire family, bring this sure-to-be classic film home.
