Superb work. Let me know when it's up on your website and I'll throw in an order. I know a few others that'd order that image too.
Thanks very much Nidge, links here: https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/210353774/jim-sheridan-finn-harps-fc-league-of
Feel free to tell your friends :D

If it's against forum rules to link to my shop etc, I don't mind if le mods take the link back down.

Pity the quality of the footage isn't better - you could have two legends for the price of one from 0.26 in this video. :D

What a pitch! It's mad to see so many in Dayler, I'm only young enough so wouldn't have ever experienced the like..

Lads I still haven't a clue what to do with Jason Byrne, or someone like Owen Heary. Shelbourne hoovering up any good player for a few years, has me totally none the wiser as to who would be appropriate there.

That Bohs away is class. Would make a great design for a Dundalk home.

Added some of the prints I like the most to a project on my website with higher res images and close ups if anyone'd like a look.

Acorn villa. Tarzan o Brien is my uncle. And Himself and Tresson were both bray legends. Obviously I'd love to see a pic of tarzan for obvious reasons.

We had an almost replica home top like that in 1982/83 I think, only one season, possibly the red and black in opposite places, but definitely black and red thick stripes at the top.........why do I remember things like this?

Thankfully been busy with commissions and such coming up to Christmas, so haven't had much time to play around with any LOI ideas, but finished off a Drogheda print today!

Also, thanks to some of you lovely people on here who bought prints in the last few months, or even told others about them, has helped me out quite a lot! :)

Nidge, you know stuff.

I decided I could have a better fist at that Harps print, and have come up with what I think is a much better version. Any opinion/suggestions?

Well lads, not posted much here now in a good while, didn't want to be spamming too much in case it was annoying, those who are aware of my various social media deelies will know I'm still working away at this stuff. Doing legends prints, other loi and players from abroad as well as Irish internationals. Think they're getting better, please do have a look and judge me at your leisure, IF you've nothing better to be doing midweek..

I'll keep making posts of what I'm up to here occasionally if there's any appetite for it, or if people have come across other cool LOI related work I'd love to see it.

In other news, I was interviewed for the Airtricity league website during the week, it's nothing too mad, they cut out a load of jibes I put in about Dundalk and crisps, but some of you might still enjoy it! http://sseairtricityleague.ie/news/6118-the-art-of-the-beautiful-game

Good shout Sam, I'd added Kev to my big ol' list a few weeks ago.

I'm all ears to random suggestions, haven't done much Cork stuff yet for instance, and not sure where to start!

Well lads, long time no see. Have had a bit of a mad year, not even been on this site all that much. I'm still at it with this stuff, beginning to finally be happy enough with the quality of what I'm making, I'll post a few yolkes up here now sure. If anyone has any suggestions of players/moments or anything else that I could give a lash I'd appreciate it! I've expanded what I'm doing quite a bit, links in my bio if you want to see more stuff sure! Cheers!

If we're going to pick legends, then we should pick legends from other clubs....

Bray Wanderers - Bo McKeever
Bohemians - Jackie Jameson
Cork City - Patsy Freyne
Limerick - Johnny Walsh
Derry City - Pascal Vaudequin
Shamrock Rovers - Derek Treacey
Shelbourne - Mark Rutterford
Dundalk - Tom McNulty
Sligo Rovers - Johnny Kenny
Galway United - Eamonn Deacy
Waterford United - Jose Quintongo (because he had the coolest name in the LOI ever)

Basically, they are players who I admired/feared/respected.

Cheers, not a bad list there, I've tried Osam and Geoghan in the past, but wasn't happy with them, certainly worth making new ones.

A Roy Keane - Cobh Ramblers one would be great.

I have this lad knocking about already. He was such a cheerful looking chap, even then!
