‘Football Mishmash’ is a massive hand-drawn illustration created from over 500 famous and infamous incidents from the history of football and featuring approximately 2000 individual characters.
‘Football Mishmash’ features everything from Geoff Hurst’s goal in the 1966 World Cup Final to Rene Higuita’s incredible ‘Scorpion Kick’ for Colombia; the tragedy of the Hillsborough Disaster, to Zinedine Zidane’s notorious head-butt on Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup Final; Sylvester Stallone’s penalty save in the movie Escape to Victory, to a timeline of David Beckham, and perhaps more importantly, his haircuts!
The first edition was started in April 2012 & completed in February 2013, Football Mishmash took me approximately 1800 hours to complete.A great deal of attention was spent researching this project, ensuring football kits and clothing were as accurate as possible to picking the brains of friends to see what incidents throughout they could recall.
Football Mishmash is available in 3 sizes....
From the fun & gimmicky postcard size (magnifying glass not included)! Postcards are sent in a hard-backed envelope.
A3 size (the checklist comes included on a separate sheet). This size will be sent in a hard-backed envelope within the UK and rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube tube if going overseas.
Poster size, again, with the checklist surrounding the image. Sent in a sturdy cardboard tube.
All prints (other than the postcards) will be hand signed by myself in the bottom right hand corner.
