Love these hand painted canvases by Elliot Quince of the stars of this years World Cup. Based on the ubiquitous sticker collections – each canvas measuring approximately 16×12″ is a handpainted enlargement of an original thumbnail sketch. There are 32 ultra limited edition one-offs, featuring players such as Kaká, Samuel Eto'o, Tranquillo Barnetta, Alexis Sánchez, Diego Forlan as well as our very own Wayne Rooney.
And they're for a good cause too… All proceeds from the sale of these wonderful pictures go to Luton and Dunstable Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Why dat? There's a rather touching back story here.
You can see the paintings at the Offside Gallery, Islington, There's a private View on Thursday 10th June 2010 starting at 8pm (Get in touch with Elliott if you want to attend at elliott.quince@ntlworld.com), adn they're on display throughout the duration of the World Cup.
I've only got one problem with the paintings. No Scotland players. But then again we didn't qualify for the tournament, so that's not really Elliott's fault.
Find out all about the project here at Got, got, need!
