Occasionally I receive comments about my work that I am especially proud of, this is a selection of my favourites. With special thanks to everyone who’s name is listed here.

Adidas
(The Brand with the Three Stripes)
Steve Welsh is the artist behind miniboro.com, his work is well known and very popular among football fans and influencers alike.

Edgar Davids
(Former Netherlands midfielder)
“That’s hard! Very creative. You think outside of the box, who do you work for?”

Four Four Two
(International Football Magazine)
“We recommend a good trawl round Steve’s website. Whether it’s Dennis Bergkamp as a Top Gun-style Ice Man, a clever diagram about the Cruyff turn or simple, striking images of John Barnes and Mario Balotelli, his art is packed with wit and imagination. Intelligent, fun and highly original.”

FHM
(International Men’s Magazine)
“The days of making do with tasteless footy posters from Woolworths or prising them out of Match and Shoot centrefolds are long gone!”

Umbro
(Iconic Football Tailors)
“A website that mixes words and visuals to terrific effect, it’s a gem of a site for fans of any club. The first thing you’ll notice is the cracking creative visuals of footballers both classic and modern, but there’s also some great interviews. The chat with Bob Mortimer in particular is a great read.”

IBWM
(InBedWithMaradona)
“He is as close to Picasso as football will ever get.”

Kay L Murray
(Broadcast Journalist for Real Madrid TV)
“An absolute delight of a site, which is a must-read / see for all true football lovers, whether they’re Boro fans or not. Spent my morning drinking tea and reading the interviews. The illustrations are awesome too. One of most original sites I’ve seen in ages.”

George Caulkin
(The Times)
“Gorgeous designs, all of them.”
