Now and again 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.

Edgar Davids (Former Netherlands midfielder)
“That’s hard! Very creative. You guys 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.”

The New York Cosmos (Legendary Football Club)
“That Cantona illustration was fantastic, striking visuals.”

James Horncastle (European Football Writer and Columnist)
“An evocative football illustrator”

The National Football Museum
“Brilliant. We’re suckers for Escape To Victory references here.”

Sarah Flotel (Editor of HotScore.tv)
“That is one beautiful website, one of the best I’ve seen. I’ve fallen in love with the artwork.”

Barry Glendenning  (Deputy Sports Editor at the Guardian)
“Love this guys stuff.”

Daniel Gray (Author of football travel log Stramash)
“What an utterly superb site. I am going to lose hours to this.”

The Swiss Ramble
“Wow, a glorious collection.”

Karl Smout (Editor of Footysphere)
“His football illustrations tick every box.”

Rob Marrs (Editor of Left Back In The Changing Room)
“Is there a better designer than miniboro.com … No is the answer.”

KCKRS (Footy Collective)
“Obsessive fandom with style, passion and really cool art”

Chris Mann (Editor of the The Equaliser)
“If you’re into football with an artistic twist, there are some excellent illustrations of Middlesbrough heroes over at miniboro.com”

Brian Philips (Editor of Run of Play)
“Cool archive of Middlesbrough fanzines from the late ’80s and early ’90s.”

The Two Unfortunates
“Really? Can there be a more nicely designed website than miniboro.com? Superb.”

Danny Last (Editor of European Football Weekends)
“Your work on IBWM has cemented your place at the top of the internet art school (A+) .”
