11 of our favourite Premier League football artists to follow
As the 2018-19 Premier League season comes to an end, we’ve crawled through social media to find a collection of artists who create beautiful artwork inspired by the beautiful game.
Football fan art is by no means a new thing though. Back in 1928 L. S. Lowry painted ‘Going to the Match’ for a competition run by the Football Association. It later sold for £1.9 million to the PFA in 1999 and is now in display in The Lowry Centre in Manchester.
So in no particular order, here are some of our favourite football artists to follow.

We’ve drawn 36 Spurs legends (pretty badly) and put them on a snazzy A3 print. Gary Lineker looks like a bit like a murderer, so sorry about that.

Hi. My name is Ellie and I have recently done a very large commission of a footballer, in pencil. I hugely loved doing it and the customer was very pleased with it. I would love to do more but am not sure how to ‘get out there’ . I have just come across your football artists on this page and that is why I write. I will leave my Facebook, Instagram name below where the footballer art is. Do take a look and if you know how to help me get out there and get more commissions I would love it! 🙂
