Football Heroes See Red

John Martz | June 16th, 2008

A new edition of the previously-blogged book Football Heroes has been released. This version, Football Heroes See Red! is even bigger, at 280 full colour pages and over 800 illustrations of footballers past and present.

Beach writes:

As before, the project is entirely artist funded – the editor, Swiss illustrator Jerzovskaja has paid for everything out of his own pocket (getting on for US$100,000). Everyone else has given their time for free. 38 illustrators are involved this time round, including past Drawn mentions Serge Seidlitz, Eyeport (Lee Hasler), Melamed, Nishant Choksi, Ian Marsden and many many more top notch contributors.

You can view the entire thing online, though it was a little slow-loading for me. Either way, it’s quite a gorgeous collection of portraiture/caricature, and probably worth a purchase for the illustrative sportsfan.

Thanks, Beach!

    ahhh Zizou.. I remember watching the final with a friend who thought he was the most beautiful man in the world. She was distraught when he headbutted Materazzi... but he's still a legend...

    Have to get this book. Looks wonderful.

    Congrats to all involved.
  • I'm glad the book made it here! Thanks, Beach! Jerzovskaja has done such a great job, he just deserves it. And I'm proud to have drawn two teams in the new book. I will always support you, Kai :)!

    Greatings
