What could be created for your club

One theme. Lots of possibilities.

The club already has its colours, emblem and history. I’ll design an original illustration for them, which you can use as you see fit.

Club merchandise

A design for T-shirts, hoodies and other fan merchandise. For your own collection, which cannot be confused with standard catalogue prints.

Eye-catching illustrations for match previews, seasonal communications or player profiles.

Tournaments and anniversaries

Original visuals for the annual season, a tournament, a special match or a club event.

The players and the whole team

An individual athlete, a team theme or a series of illustrations in a consistent style.

You don’t need to have a fully formed idea. Just tell us what sport you do and what the illustration is for.

Your own design

Designed for your sport and club.

I don’t start by choosing from a catalogue. I’m interested in sport, physical activity, club colours and where you’ll be using the design.

An example of the high-contrast style – an athlete in a high-contrast black-and-white rendering

High contrast

Striking contrast and a bold silhouette. A style well-suited to sports-themed designs, merchandise and eye-catching campaign visuals.

An example of the low-poly style – a footballer celebrating a goal

Low poly

A geometric style full of energy and movement. Suitable for modern sports illustrations, digital media and original bespoke designs.

An example of a cartoon-style drawing on an iPad – a portrait of a woman

Cartoon

A looser, hand-drawn style with a personal touch. Ideal for portraits, personal branding and original illustrations for businesses and individuals.

You don’t need to know exactly what the illustration should look like. I’ll suggest a direction based on what you want to convey and where you’ll be using the design.

A single player, a team theme, an anniversary edition or a series for the whole season.

Practical information

Frequently Asked Questions.

Do we need to have a fully formed idea?

No. All you need to do is describe the sport, the club, the intended use and what the illustration should convey. I’ll help with the artistic concept.

Can we use the illustration on the merchandise we’re selling?

Yes, we can arrange for the motif to be used in this way. We’ll discuss in advance which products you wish to use the motif on and to what extent, and I’ll tailor the offer and licence accordingly.

Do you also offer T-shirt production or printing?

My main service is illustration design. I can prepare the artwork for handover to your manufacturer or printer in accordance with pre-agreed requirements.

Will the illustration be just for our club?

It depends on the licence agreed. Exclusive use for your club only can be arranged on a case-by-case basis; it is not automatically included in the standard price.

How long does it take to create a theme?

It depends on the scope and complexity. We’ll agree on a specific date in advance.

Can we order more designs one at a time?

Yes. It is possible to create either a single, standalone theme or a series of related themes featuring players, sports or club events, all in the same style.
