The Art of
Athleticism

Graphic designer turned sports illustrator, creating cover art for internationally distributed magazines, portraits of footballing icons reproduced as prints and merchandise, and detailed process breakdowns that reveal the craft behind the work.

Working between print culture, football mythology, and editorial pacing, the practice is built around making sporting subjects feel storied, cinematic, and physically present on the page.

Focus

Editorial commissions, print editions, and archive-led image systems with a strong sense of objecthood.

Approach

Illustration shaped by typography, print references, and the visual language of programmes, fanzines, posters, and magazines.

Base

London-based, working across commissioned editorial work, self-initiated archive pieces, and commercial print releases.
