Over the last few months I’ve created a wide range of products and ideas, as I’ve explored the varying style that I wanted to create.
A lot of designers end up with one very specific style, but I’ve enjoyed the variation of detail vs simplicity that I create in my designs.
One of the main styles I started with was the subbuteo artwork, which launched me onto the scene in Twitter art in particular with West Ham fans, with a few contacts and well known names and connected Twitterlings sharing my content. This was brilliant, but I wasn’t just wanting to be known as a designer with Subbuteo style designs.
So after some time, I created a series for map locations – stripped back, classy location stadium art.
I’ll be honest, I haven’t sold many on the website, but seem to be massively popular on Etsy! Bizarrely in particular by far the best seller is the Leeds United Elland Road print in both A3 and A4! No idea why – all organic, no ad spend – maybe theres just a huge contingent of Leeds fans on Etsy!
I then moved onto retro shirts – more on that here, followed by a few illustrations of stadiums themselves.
The stadium grounds take significant time to produce – they’re all drawn piece by piece through my wacom tablet whilst having a reference photo to draw from.
It’s by far the most detailed part of the collection I have at the moment and as they take so long, I’m not able to release them as quick as I’d like!
Of course, you may have also seen my work on tourism and location art across Kent. I’ve a few more in the pipeline and look forward to releasing some more of these soon too.
Looking forward to what inspiration I find in summer 2021… Euros!? 🙂
