As a big Chelsea fan I had to put something together to celebrate the amazing Champion’s League victory over Napoli. So here is the “Old Guard”. Whom I have never doubted. Players may be faster, stronger, and younger, but you can’t teach heart, and a desire to win. Here’s hoping the momentum continues!
I haven’t done a soccer illustration in a long, long, time. Today I was in the mood to honor one of the most unstable, talented, and exciting strikers in the Premier League: Mario Ballotelli. He has 9 league goals and has his team on top of the Premier League, I’m still anticipating a disaster though and that United will win again, but we’ll have to wait and see. This is a little more simple of a style than I usually do, but I think it turned out ok.
Mario Balotelli – Manchester City
Premier League Football that is! While many here in the states are busy visiting training camps and watching meaningless pre-season NFL games, across the pond it is the opening weekend for the Premier League. It’s unfortunate that games may be postponed because of the rioting. I’m excited to see how my favorite team Chelsea perform. I expect that they will have a strong season lead by my man Drogba! So here it is my first soccer cartoon of the new season, enjoy!
I’ve pretty much taken the summer off from any art stuff. That doesn’t mean I don’t have a lot of stuff I’m hoping to do in the future. I’m currently working on my newest series of Premier League, and La Liga cartoons. (Why do they have to change their jerseys every year?) So stayed tuned if you’re a soccer fan. Just to get back in the swing of things I thought I’d release the Soccer Cleat Icons
Right now I’m pretty busy running summer sports camps @ Skybacher Ministries. I don’t have much time for cartoons and graphic design but I do occasionally complete a cartoon of one of the characters I act out during the camp. This guy here is an all-time fan favorite. Mobacca is a Jamaican soccer player who makes fruit smoothies for the campers! It’s great fun. This here was a design I made for t-shirts. So here he is Mobacca!
