Illustrator Elliott Quince has produced a fantastic collection of 32 portraits of World Cup stars based on football stickers. The supersized stickers are hand-painted on to canvas. They make me smile and bring back memories of the simple pleasure of collecting football stickers. You can forget your Wii and PS3. This was real entertainment. And an education, too. The portrait of Park Ji-Sungis my favourite. It really captures the player's personality. Wonderful.
The paintings can be seen on the
'Got, got, got, need!' website and the work is being exhibited at
The Offside Gallery, Islington throughout World Cup. Launch night is on the 10th June. All proceeds from the sale of the paintings go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital.
