Hidden Talents: Baller Paintwork

imageSure, we’d all like to own a piece of our favourite baller.

Unfortunately, due to the ridiculously restrictive laws of our country we are not legally entitled to take ownership of Fernando Torres’s freckles. Believe us, we’ve tried.

However, all is not lost. We’ve just discovered a bunch of of footy artwork on offer, which can be hung freely around your flat, house or bedpost, with nary a judicial law in sight. 

A group of players have created one-off artworks for the Willow Foundation charity, which helps to create special days for youths and adults that are seriously ill.  They’re holding an online auction for each canvas. 

Click through to see who created this “masterpiece” of toddlerific happy pills paintwork and find out how you can bid and help a great cause. Who knows, one day, these precious works of art may be worth nearly 1/8 of what you paid for them.

    I couldn’t decide between the awfulness of the Chelsea lads (Frank, Ballack, Anelka and Paulo Ferreira) as being the worst.

    The best? I may have to give it to our dear Arsene. Check the masterpiece out:

    like Cesc’s. they say people who paint/draw the sun are happy, optimistic people. Captain happy:) Good job there Mr. Ballack, you have a very vivid imagination.lol. the same goes for Lampard. And a certain goalie seems a bit too concerned about his own person… ok I like them all:)

  13. Genevieve Gourcuff says:

    I actually quite like all of them!

  14. Kleon says:

  17. Becca says:

  18. Nina (Mrs Gerrard) says:

    aww Cesc’s smile resembles the one on his picture. I like it, it’s really an optimistic one.

  19. The Fourth Official says:

    I’ve organized this kind of auction in my work as a fundraising consultant, and one word of warning if you’re planning to bid. Read the description of the piece carefully. Usually, the piece has been done by someone else, either completely, or partially. Often only the celebrity’s signature is authentic, though sometimes even that’s not always the case.

  20. Baby Freya (Mrs Arbeloa) says:

    Aww, thats so cool! Theo has a hidden talent for sketching by the looks of it and Paul Robinson’s effort is really good too. Lamps’ is boring and Ballack’s is kinda random.

  21. Tres Bien says:

    Fourth- It actually says on the website that the ‘art’ has been ‘enhanced’ by someone else.

    Great heads up for anyone looking to bid (i.e. definitely not me!)

  22. Pau de Silva (aka Sambu) says:

  25. Pau de Silva (aka Sambu) says:

  27. MrsXabiAlonso says:

  28. LoveLamps says:

    Um, I totally don’t care how bad it is, if Frank touched it I am bidding!

  29. FootballerChick43 - "Mrs.Ballack" says:

    Ballack’s actually isn’t THAT bad… pretty terrible, but… it could look like Fabregas’s. I would totally hang that up somewhere in my house.

    I think they should stick to footie. Great that they’re involved in good causes though.
