That's right (real) sports fans, the Six Nations 2012 begin this weekend! A full weekend of egg chasing, dirt tasting, face stamping, eye gouging fun! Will Wales live up to post World Cup expectations? Will England defy their critics and successfully defend their 6 Nations crown? What type of French team will turn up? Will this be Irelands year to shine? And is it too early to say it's out of Scotland and Italy for the wooden spoon this year? Time will tell, but if one thing's for sure, the Six Nations will undoubtedly throw up a few unexpected results and some truly exciting rugby! Bring it on! Come on Wales!!!
RFU Injured Players Foundation rugby ball marathon illustration
I've just created this A4 sized illustration on behalf of the RFU in England. The cartoon is to appear as half of an A3 poster that will promote the RFU Injured Players Foundation and will appear in every rugby club in England. The aim of the poster is to encourage many wonderful people in the rugby world to run a marathon for the RFU charity.
It was a great illustration to work on and needed to be completed very last minute. The whole project went from initial conversation to finished artwork in just over 24 hours! Let's just say my eyes were a little tired by the end of it all. As usual I would love to know what you think, especially if you see the poster out and about in your rugby club. Feel free to leave a comment below. Enjoy!

Rugby World Cup 2011 - Wales are on FIRE!
I may be biased but that doesn't mean I'm wrong! Wales are the best team in this competition and time will tell whether they can go all the way and deservedly win the World Cup! I will be watching this Saturday's semi final against France with a mixture of excitement and expectation. I truly believe we can do it! Come on Wales...!
