As a massive Liverpool fan it was a privilege and an honour to complete this limited edition commemorative piece to celebrate Jurgen Klopp's achievements in returning Liverpool back to their perch after winning the Champions League, the FIFA World Club Cup, the UEFA Super Cup and, of course the FA Premiership between 2019 and 2020.

Artwork Story: 
As a massive NFL fan and subsequently a Dallas Cowboys fan (for my sins of late!) I spend my time between August and February each year as a nocturnal animal watching all things NFL and I'm an NFL sports writer for a leading UK based sports website (it keeps me busy you know!). For that reason I had to put together my homage to Troy Aikman, the quarterback who steered the Cowboys to back to back Superbowl wins and had the Cowboys at the top of their game for a decade when I was at my most impressionable regarding my love of the NFL I guess! 

I wanted the Cowboys badge (A five point star on the helmet) to be the template for the piece and so you can see the star features as the silhouette for the artwork.  


Title: British Open Champions

Size: 500mm x 300mm

Medium: Gouache, Airbrush

Canvas: Frisk CS2 NOT Surface Board

Client: Morley Hayes Hotel & Golf Club


Artwork Story: 
I was approached to create a commemorative piece to feature within the hotel in readiness for a redesign of the golf course which was going to be formally opened by ex-golf professional Mark Calcavecchia. Therefore they wanted the artwork to feature him in his winning year at the British Open. 

I wanted the artwork to appear to have photographs strewn across the artwork as a montage of past golfing legends with Mark nestled within them, but still the centrepiece of the composition.
