The Emmanuel Adebayo Scissors Kick

As some of you might know I am a football fan and I started art and everything about drawing years back when I was 6 or so. I started by drawing my favourite football players. This love has never left me and that's why you can see me here pausing the video at each step of a brilliant scissors kick that Emmanuel Adebayo executed in Arsenal's game against Villareal in the Champions League on Tuesday...

A CRACKING FINISH! 16" x 10", Mixed Media, 2008

This was the moment before Robin Van Persie smacked in a cracker against Chelsea last weekend! I love a bit of football(soccer) and to get this image I had to pause the video.

My goal here was to capture that feel just before the ball was shot and the motions that go along with such highly competitive sports!

He actually hit that ball in the top corner!

Strike partners-perfect combination

This is the new strike force of Arsenal -Robin Van Persie and Emmanual Adebayor- they are the new Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.

Hope they do well this season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently dedicated this painting to Thierry Henry, the greatest goal scorer in Arsenal History. It was achieved with acrylics and inks. Hope you enjoy
