The portrait
King of the Kop
Liver red and Anfield white
Arrived as the replacement for a legend and became a bigger one. Goals in European Cup finals, titles as a player, titles as a manager, and a dignity in the darkest hours that made him a father figure to a city.
This portrait is a celebration: arms raised, the famous grin breaking through the shadow. It belongs on a wall where people gather.
From the artist
I combined a fascination with pointillism and negative space to create illustrations that could be hung proudly on any style-conscious wall. Limited edition art prints of your sporting idols at reasonable prices.
