Barca: The making of the greatest team in the world



A few months back, I was contacted by the guys at Back Page Press. They asked me if I was interested in working on Graham Hunter's upcoming book on F.C. Barcelona. The book would deal with how the team became a phenomenon. Of course I said yes, and after a few months of work the illustrations are ready to show.

The work had to be completed in black and white due to print restrictions on the book. As usual, RT's and comments are appreciated big time. The work wouldn't get seen without people tweeting it so thank you very much!

The book is available to pre-order at this link: Barca Book

All my work is available to purchase as professionally produced prints at this link: Barca Art

Also if you're in the market for some new football themed fashion accessories: Barca Shirts

When players are schooled at La Masia they are said to have 'Barca DNA' hence the iconic Barca ball appearing in their genetic make up.

I've already read the majority of the book and I have to say it was a great read for a football fan. Exactly the type of knowledge you want to know about the players, the club, the staff and the ethos. Give it a read!
