Personal project counting down the days to the greatest sporting event in the world.
As an American soccer fan, most of the time it feels like I'm living with my own private hysteria (anybody want to hear my 14 theories about Arsenal's summer transfer strategy? no?). For one month every four years, though, the rest of the world joins me in losing their minds over the game. The World Cup is loud, colorful, chaotic, inspiring, and corrupt. Above all, it's a huge global party. I wanted to try to translate that energy into a series of illustrations. I released one of these images commemorating a qualifying country every day in the lead up to the 2018 tournament in Russia.
