BT Sport #ChampionsDraw II

Last August I was commissioned by BT Sport to be part of the second season of their Champions League illustration competition #ChampionsDraw, along with 11 other very talented illustrators and designers.  It was a knockout style competition that came down to public vote through likes on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to determine who made it through each round. In the end I managed to make it through to the quarter finals and come 3rd overall.

Here are all 7 illustrations I created along the way..

Stadium Illustration Series

Not so long ago I started creating some illustrations of famous football grounds across the UK. This has now developed into a small series that I plan to continue on for the next few weeks. All suggestions of the next stadium I should illustrate are very welcome.

 Below are some of the grounds i've created so far.

All of these are available as prints in my shop here :)

BT Sport - Champions Draw II

I was recently asked by BT Sport to be a part of this years #ChampionsDraw project/competition they're running for the Champions League alongside some other amazingly talented artists and illustrators. 

The first match I was given to illustrate was Leicester vs Porto, which is a pretty special game considering it will be Leicester's first every home Champions League game. The match itself is on Tuesday 27th of September and above is my final submission featuring two of last years most influential players Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. In the days before this game this illustration was also running as a part of a TV advert (attached below) on BT Sport promoting the upcoming week of Champions League fixtures.

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.
