So far I’ve illustrated the fortress like Catenaccio, the myriad of passing triangles that is Tiki Taka, the dynamic Total Football and now my latest is a nod to Brazilian culture’s close links to both football and music. I drew a parallel between the strings on a guitar, an instrument used in Samba music, and the free form creative way in which Brazil line out.<span><br/></span></p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Footynews" target="_blank"><strong>Prints can be purchased here</strong></a></p> <p><em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Footynews" target="_blank">Shop</a> / <a href="https://twitter.com/danleydon" target="_blank">Twitter</a></em></p>http://danleydon.tumblr.com/post/50578245485http://danleydon.tumblr.com/post/50578245485Thu, 16 May 2013 15:40:00 +0100totaalvoetbaltotal footballjohan cruyffcruyffrinus michelsajaxajax amsterdamnetherlandsworld cupmundialcatenaccioserie acalciosambaselecaobrazilpeletiki takaspainLa Furia Rojamessixaviiniestabarcelonafcbbarcajosep guardiolaillustrationdan leydonfootynews<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c2edd48a7e690a154d88695b3e969c98/tumblr_mmud1xWlGL1rou5tvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2>EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL</h2> <p>Ahead of tonights big european final I’ve released this special Chelsea print of Juan Mata. </p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/127321764/juan-mata-sra3-print?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">Purchase a print here</a></strong></p> <p><em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Footynews" target="_blank">Shop</a> / <a href="https://twitter.com/danleydon" target="_blank">Twitter</a></em></p>http://danleydon.tumblr.com/post/50494238961http://danleydon.tumblr.com/post/50494238961Wed, 15 May 2013 14:20:21 +0100matajuan matachelseacfcstamford bridgefootballsoccerillustrationartists on tumblrartEuropa Leaguechampions leagueeuropefinaltrophy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/db0d5c473bce6ff9497cf335e6f3f98a/tumblr_mmsgke2JZZ1rou5tvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Todays orders.

I hadn’t dedicated a detailed illustration to Johan Cruyff yet and It occurred to me that one of the the most famous Dutch products is the ‘Cruyff Turn’ which would in turn make Cruyff a designer himself. If I could infuse a print of him with some Dutch design principles this observation could come full circle. The Dutch have the ability to make fun of themselves and their work has a way of combining things that usually don’t combine at all. So here I tried to illustrate this by visually incorporating his nickname, Pythagoras in Boots, into his playing style.</span></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/126739519/pythagoras-in-boots-sra3-print" target="_blank">Purchase a print here</a></strong></p> <p><em><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Footynews" target="_blank">Shop</a> / <a href="https://twitter.com/danleydon" target="_blank">Twitter</a></em></p>http://danleydon.tumblr.com/post/50093518810http://danleydon.tumblr.com/post/50093518810Fri, 10 May 2013 16:45:00 +0100cruyfftotaalvoetbaltotal footballajaxhollandnetherlandsdutchfootballsoccerjohan cruyffbarcelonaFC Barcelonames que un clubjordiillustrationartists on tumblrartsportfutbolmundialworld cupamsterdamtiki takaPass and movebeautiful gameskillgolazogoalstrikermidfielder<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fc371c0f062eee29a3d7f7a3a1a15aac/tumblr_mml9x1nAqN1rou5tvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Cruyff poster finished.
