I know the bloke who did this through a friend. He also knocked up the Obama Hope one that everyone has probably seen.

I think its pretty neat ...but im sure he's never even watched a footie match in his life! haha
 
I saw the similarities with the Obama one but assumed it was just an imitation of style. Didn't realise we'd got the real artist. Is this part of the campaign where we had Ade in the Arndale and SWP running along a wall?

City getting quite cutting edge here...Finger on the pulse of who is hot n all that. The tevez one is different to the ade, bellers and swp. I think different artists each time.

Sounds like the man is a one trick pony.

Fair play if he's getting paid for it.

His work does have a distinct look.

He does graphic for my mates clothing company "obey" - TBH this is a pretty poor effort compared to his usual artwork,

Reduce colours effect on Photoshop... would take me ten minutes.

I know! I hate the fact that now everybody associates that effect with this artist; rather than merely something which has been done for much longer on the web- the artist must be very good at marketing.
 
ha ha ha if you can use a filter on photo shop you can call yourself an artist bloody lazy try again city.
