Just a quick update regarding the World Cup painting that I started a few weeks ago. I have managed to paint in most of Wayne Rooney’s details using the templates I created on the Laser Cutter, I have also painted the sides of the canvas and added the lettering. The white oil paint is now drying and awaiting the St George Cross to be added, all being well this should be completed on Thursday, ready for the World Cup festivities to begin.

Nearly completed, just awaiting the England’s Red Cross.

Just a quick update on the Rooney World Cup Canvas. Was able to paint in his white body outline last night and so I must wait for this to dry before adding any more details to his body.

Rooney – after his white body outline had been painted in.

I was thinking how I could create a quick yet effective canvas that would show that we are backing England in the upcoming World Cup. I decided that a mixture of my style, Banksy and a bit of technology would be an option to test and so I created some Wayne Rooney templates on 2D design and laser cut these out. I will then use the templates to paint onto an A3 Canvas. I am not sure how it will come out but at least I can say it will be completed for the England’s first game against Italy in 2 weeks time………..keep checking back for latest updates.

Once the templates had been used to add the image and the text.
