RIP John Robertson

'John Robertson was a very unattractive young man. If one day, I felt a bit off colour, I would sit next to him. I was bloody Errol Flynn in comparison. But give him a ball and a yard of grass, and he was an artist, the Picasso of our game.' —Brian Clough

Tribute for Robbo. I can't actually do cubism, but I tried to imitate its mood.
It's the end of the year and as time keeps passing, our greatest legends will leave us one by one… And I don't think my heart will ever be ready for any of that news.

AIM FOR EUROPA

First painting (plus a bit of digital collage) after a 3-month break!

A mixed media artwork of watercolour + digital pixel art. A white pixelated silhouette of Robin Hood with a bow (based on the Robin Hood statue in Nottingham Castle) is overlayed on top of a red and black pixelated map of Europe. On the bottom side there is an overlayed close-up scene of Ndoye holding up a bow and arrow like the Robin Hood silhouette on a green background with a red-white outline(colours of the flag of Notttinghamshire). Deep orange and black sparks come out the arrowtip, similar to the Europa League graphics. Where the sparks and the silhouette overlap, the sparks scatter into orange and black pixels on top of the white. All parts of the artwork was hand painted except the pixelated map in the background.

Welcome Dan Ndoye!

A cartoon-style watercolour painting. Dan Ndoye holds up the Coppa Italia trophy with a big grin. Behind him is the coccarda(the cockade of Italy) and the ribbons on the trophy are curled in circlar shapes. Next to him is the text 'Welcome!' with two stars written in a half-circle.

He sure knows how to score trophy-winning goals!

Details of the Trent Bridge

It's beautiful! This time I wanted to paint something different than usual, something of Nottingham that isn't always shown live to football audiences.

A watercolour painting of the three intricate circular decorations on the Trent Bridge, painted in dark cyan.

The original painting. The colours were digitally altered to match the bridge's colours.

The temple that Nuno built

A cartoon-style watercolour painting. A simplified Greek temple stands between the abstract red, blue and white waves, except its three columns are Nuno's three Manager of the Month awards, and there is the Forest crest on the pediment. The awarded dates 2024-10, 2024-12, 2025-03 are written on each of the columns. Behind the temple is Nuno with sunglasses poking out of the bottom 'waves' part of the Forest crest, smirking and hitting the 'call me' pose.

This was an unfinished sketch way back from April. 😅

Descansem em paz, Diogo e André.

Rest in peace, Diogo and André.

A cartoon-style watercolour painting. Diogo is doing his 'gamer' celebration-he sits on the ground with his hands like he's holding a console. Andre stands next to him and leans down to hug his face. Behind them is a big number 20 and the letters 'DIOGO J.' like the back of a shirt on a white background. The number 20 is coloured in multiple patches of bright red, brick red, maroon, gold and teal with the silhouettes of a red Liver bird, black wolf, green dragon (his 3 major clubs Liverpool, Wolves and Porto) and a teal shooting star soaring upwards layered on it. Next to Diogo are the letters 'Descansem em paz' ('rest in peace' in Portuguese).

I had to do some careful colour planning before picking up the brush.

The stripes on our shirt

A cartoon-style watercolour painting. Yates is wearing the new Forest shirt with white trousers and sneakers. He is holding a bow. The abstract background has red stripes with arrowheads and fletchings on each end. Red ovals are layered on the stripes, the stripes that overlap with the ovals are in deep red and white, like the stripes on the shirt.

Love it!

'Take us on a trip…'

I doubted whether to finished this or not as we're stuck in a limbo right now, but I already had the idea sketched ever since that match, so I decided to just go with it.

Wherever we end up, we're going together!
