Today I smashed a TV with a mace. This wasn't the original plan, but something we decided to do after our elaborate hammer swinging contraption didn't work.

A 4 themed ball for legendary defender: Virgil Van Dijk. This ball has 222 panels, made from interlocking 4's. It took over 2 weeks to stitch it all together. I'm glad it's over.

2(!) of my balls made it on the cover of the ultimate edition of EAFC 25. I had no idea this was happening. I was asked by an agency (cold email) if I could send a couple of balls to include in a shoot "involving some pro players". That's all I knew. I didn't find out the significance of the shoot until a few months later when I saw the image in instagram!

A 360 view of the England ball. This ball was made from all English sourced materials and stitched while traveling around the country. It was pumped up in central London, then carefully put in its final resting place (I hoofed it into the Thames).

Me, pictured with (roughly) 1,000 balls behind me. We inspected and hand polished them all before they were boxed up ready for shipping. It took a week. Shout out to Allison & Jack for doing 90% of them!

It came together!!!! The Burberry ball in all its glory. A very fiddly ball in the end, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

A WIP shot of my collaboration with Burberry. They asked me to make a ball from their iconic pattern. These 24 panels are about to become a ball.

This timelapse captures a very silly mistake that wasted almost a full week. I'm working on a ball inspired by a classic Man United shirt, and in my quest to match the pattern on the kit I spent a few days figuring out how to screen print. After a few false starts, I individually screen printed a blue gradient on each of the 160+ panels. Only after that was complete did I realize the pattern wasn't going to work and the ball construction needed a completely different approach. 😅

A week condensed into ~20 seconds. This is the 'cube ball' which has 30 identical rhombus shaped panels that happen to look like little cubes.

A still pulled from a timelapse stitching up my “idea ball”. It's a ball made from dry erase board material so I can draw all over it to explore new ball ideas. It's a tool. Not meant to be played with.
