A selection of acrylic on canvas paintings I created over a three-and-a-half year period for Topps UK for their UEFA Living Set trading card collection (Women’s Euro 25, Men’s U-21 Euro 25, Men’s Euro 2024, UCL, UEL, UWCL club competitions). Every fortnight a set of two (previously three) of my paintings were released as trading cards, available for one week only. A second artist based in the USA had a set of two of his paintings released every fortnight too (so we effectively alternated).
I partnered with Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club for five seasons, with the some of the highlights in this time including two seasons of award-winning match day Premier League and Europa League programmes, a 45m x 11m banner in the Steve Bull stand at Molineux (for Raúl Jiménez following his fractured skull), a museum exhibition of my paintings of club legends past and present as well as a range of commissions from players and staff. I am particularly grateful for the encouragement and support of so many Wolves fans, many of whom had no previous interest in art, who now have prints of my paintings hanging in their homes (we made these available over a period of five seasons via our Sports Personalities company).
45m x 11m banner at Molineux I designed & Wolves’ fans crowdfunded, featuring five of my paintings, to wish striker Raúl Jiménez well following the fractured skull he sustained in November 2020.
