World Cup Heroes Postcards 2010

After a doodle of gnarled bunion Wayne Rooney proved popular in the office, I created a set of seven ‘World Cup Heroes’ postcards to coincide with the huge anticipation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The postcards were released in stages into Boomerang postcard racks in cinemas, health clubs and universities across the UK. It turns out that my careful selection process was blown out of the water as none of these ‘heroes’ performed to their true potential during the tournament. Then again, it would have been a pretty strange set of pre-tournament cards that consisted of Diego Forlan, Thomas Müller, Asamoah Gyan and Paul the Psychic Octopus.
