I will be releasing these illustrations as prints here on my website one by one on the lead up to Euro 2016. 

F.A.I. Junior Cup Final 2016 Poster Design

I was recently commissioned by Aviva to design two posters for this years F.A.I Junior Cup Final.

The concept behind these match posters starts with a play on the names of both finalists, Sheriff Y.C and Pike Rovers.

As you can see the Sheriff Y.C. idea was an obvious one as I chose a Sheriff to represent the Dublin club. For Pike Rovers I chose a soldier armed with a pike, better known as a pikeman. The intent here was to depict these old fashioned characters in a modern day battle between the Sheriffs of Dublin and the incoming Pikemen from Limerick.

Both posters are available to buy as prints here

The Life and Times of Fernando Torres

I was commissioned by Bleacher Report UK to create an piece to celebrate the 32nd birthday of Fernando Torres. The brief was to illustrate Fernando at all the clubs he has played for but also show how his time at each club turned out (trophies aside) . I decided to use head shots of Torres in the colours of each team and used his facial expression as a way to describe his form at each club.

Johan Cruyff Tribute

I was commissioned by Bleacher Report UK to create an image of Johan Cruyff for a Cruyff special that they ran across all their social media channels. The illustration also featured in a great article titled 'The Church of Cruyff' by David Winner

In the image I was asked to include some quotes that would highlight the type of player Cruyff was and how highly regarded he still is in the footballing world today. 

Messi Scores 5!

This week I was asked by Bleacher Report UK to create an image marking the anniversary of Lionel Messi scoring 5 goals in a single Champions League game and becoming the first player to do so. The game took place on the 7th of March 2012 in the second leg of a last 16 tie against Bayer Leverkusen. Barca came out winners on the night 7-1 (10-2 on aggregate.)


The Rise and Fall of Falcao

This week I was commissioned by Bleacher Report UK to create an image for the 30th birthday of Radamel Falcao

The brief for the illustration was to show the dramatic dip in form Falcao has shown since his injury and move to the Premier League.
