Landon Donovan's moment, in animation.
Albert Lanzillo drew over 250 individually drawn frames to recreate Landon Donovan's winner in
stoppage time that ensured the United States would not be knocked out of the World Cup. Inspired by
Richard Swarbrick's work, the result is brilliant.
(In)Animate.
Sangwook Kim's experimental video project challenging the structure of animate and inanimate
objects. Notice how the ball never sways from the middle of the screen. [Thanks for the

Real Unhate, by Eduardo Salles.
Rivals, unite: Real Madrid x Barcelona. Manchester United x Liverpool.
Boca Juniors x River Plate. América x Chivas. Inter x Milan. That's the
message.
Some will see these 5 hybrids of club crests as borderline blasphemy.
The Arsenal Ballet.
Always appreciative of attempts to fuse together the beautiful game with fine arts, this spot
for the Citroën DS5 was pretty well-executed. While the location looks like a luxurious room at
Versailles, Arsenal's Alex Song, Wojciech Szczesny, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Bacary Sagna
learn ballet with dancers from the English National Ballet.
Messi playing in a Starry Night, by Allie Powell.
Aspiring artist, football fan, and AFR reader Allie Powell created a masterpiece, and we just
had to share it with the world.
As Allie explains, "I was doing a lesson about impressionism for the class
I'm student-teaching in and I decided to include Messi in some way.
Waves of Passion at Wembley.
This time, the wave is actually present outside the stadium. It's a truly phenomenal long
exposure photograph taken by optickarma. Fans exiting Wembley after the match between
England and Holland create a stream towards the underground station.
Imagined Football Pitches in the Amazon
It's no secret that the Amazon rainforest is shrinking every year. However, we are rarely given
such a poignant image magnifying just how drastic the Amazon's environmental climate is changing.
Xavier Barrade is a London-based artist who decided to take the concept often used describing the
loss of Amazonian rainforest based on the number of football pitch equivalents by literally
drawing the pitches onto real aerial photography of the Amazon.
The EURO 2012-inspired illustrated postcards by Simon Evans
Rooney. Malouda. Zlatan. Cristiano. All will bring their talents to Ukraine and Poland in less
than 100 days for EURO 2012. Artist Simon Evans sent us these brilliant "illustrated postcards"
that he created as part of a larger project for Goals 5-a-side Soccer Centres.
Italian artist Riccardo Guasco imagines football
Riccardo describes his inspiration to capture the physical world as a means to adequately come
to terms with his curiosity, but also to communicate with the world in a way that may leave a mark.
Living in Milan for a few years, it's not difficult to see how calcio crept in to his life.
The Goalkeeper and the Void by Martz Azparren
Featuring the words of Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida, The Goalkeeper and the
Void was a Jury winning film at the 2011 Machinima Expo, and primarily uses footage from
the video game Pro Evolution Soccer (Winning Eleven).
"Me, You, and Jason Euell" by Patrick Cullinan
Shot on the way to, from, and at Port Vale vs AFC Wimbledon in England's League 2 this past
Saturday, the 14th of January, this film captures the sights and sounds of a typical football
awayday.
Beyond the style of the short film in itself, we also love that Patrick Cullinan is an avid
reader of AFR (not to mention an excellent contributor to the Off The Post podcast).
Interview with artist Craig Coulthard, the mind behind Forest Pitch, an event that will be
part of the London 2012 Festival and Cultural Olympiad. Conducted by Eric Beard.
Succinct Briefing About Forest Pitch: A full size football pitch
hidden deep within a commercial forest in the Scottish Borders.

Russia missed the World Cup, but they did Write the Future
The 2010 World Cup seems like ancient history as we enter 2012, but hidden gems need to be
uncovered. Remember that "Write the Future" advertising campaign? Well, Russian graphic artist Aske
(aka Sicksystems) created two football-related pieces of art to capture the interest of the Russian
market.
Garrincha, the little bird
Translated by Gordon Fleetwood with help from his friend Jorge
Garrincha é o nome de um passarinho alegre, cor de terra
[Garrincha is the name of a little bird, color of the earth]
Que quem apelidou Manoel Francisco dos Santos "Mané Garrincha", conhecia tanto o rapaz quanto o
passarinho.
Slava Mogutin, from "Brosephines" for
Vice (October 2011)
I might as well just say it: I've been busy with work. I've been avoiding watching soccer matches
on TV and following sports media - because these things provoke me. Plus - and this the biggie -
I'm injured and alienated from the local scene which is my muse.
Joys of Tumblr: The Illustrated Ray Hudson
- "Burger King boys Getafe say ‘I'll have fries with this' tonight."
- "[Real Madrid has] a great recipe but it's got to bring the bun out of the oven. It's got to be
a nice cake in the trophy room this year."
Anyone who has been following AFR long enough knows that we're Ray Hudsonites.
The Africa Artist Series. Created for the African Cup of Nations.
In an effort to truly harness the identity of different African nations participating in the
upcoming 2012 African Cup of Nations (co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea), PUMA called upon
local African artists to symbolically represent their nation's essence by designing respective
football shirts for the tournament.
"A New Home" - Directed By Guillermo Lecuona. Music and Sound by Mic
Brooling
Artists often need a bit of financial backing. Some of the most innovative works from the past
generation in sports have been funded by companies hoping to get across a certain message.
Melbourne Victory vs Celtic x Time Lapse and Tilt Shift
Photography
On the 13th of July, photographer Joe Armao and Video journalist Dave Pavlich teamed up to
capture the summer friendly between the Melbourne Victory and Celtic at AAMI Park Melbourne.
Recherché football, vibrant collectiveness, reflection, and music looking back to the
future
In my opinion, the greatest opportunity football has, in its position as the heart of sport and
even culture in general, is promoting an appreciation for the game in unlikely places.
Playing Away - Neville Gable's Photography Project On Goalposts From
All Over The World
As part of the TateShots Collection, Neville Gable has been taking photos of perhaps the
simplest, most universal ‘frame' to be found across the globe.
An artistic triumph for football fans living in university dorm rooms across the
globe!
Ohthehumanityyy has created dozens of stunning poster designs from some of the most iconic
figures in football (past and present). The posters are available for purchase and you can view
them all here.
Call for Proposals, Special Issue of GLQ: The Athletic IssueJennifer Locke, Black/White (2009) This issue aims to collate interdisciplinary queer scholarship
on sports and physical culture. This work should engage major issues in contemporary criticism –
e.g. discourse on nationalism, autonomy and escape; neoliberalism esp.
It was like a right foot with an explosion, but with the timing and beauty of the
gods
Richard Swarbrick adds to his Gareth Bale and El Clásico collection with yet another brilliant
animation, this time covering last year's Premier League goal of the season. That spectacular
bicycle kick from Wayne Rooney.
This'll make you cry, seriously. Sometimes it's good to be a kid and just enjoy the playing and the
friendship rather than the wins. You never wanted a team to score so badly. 270+ goals
against...Video: catalandesdepolonia
