This series of illustrations is based on small doodles I do in my sketchbook. They started off as innocent vignettes of feelings you get when playing in a match or training. Some illustrate qualms I have with the way the game is sometimes played, for instance the diving one. I tried to keep the old fashioned ball as a recurring theme throughout.

I also wanted to depict certain matches or instances that stuck with me like Gareth Bale taking on Maicon in Whitehart Lane or Stevie G scoring against Olympiakos. I'll continue to add to the series as the works themselves don't take a long time to complete and I still have many more waiting in reserve.
As usual I really appreciate all the comments here and on twitter. RT's are great for getting the work to a wider audience so to anyone that takes the time, thank you very much. I hope you enjoy the illustrations.
And if you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to stick them in a comment or tweet and let me know!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Miguel Delaney that these deserve to go on tshirts!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind comments!
ReplyDeleteThe wet night at Stoke is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteTook me a little while to decipher what the 3-2 was, but I think it's genius. My favourite on here by a long way. Keep it up Dan.

Love these. Fantastic as always.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered making any of these into pinbadges?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant them, agree with the tshirt idea. Maicon/Bale prob my favourite.
ReplyDeleteLove them; not just well-made, but really smart as well. I'm not sure mister 14 sported the famous ginger stubble back then though. Still brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant, sticking a few on our tumblr site.
