'Julian Speroni' - 2015 - (A4 Drawing)

©2015 *Stevegillettart

This is a graphite pencil drawing not a photograph. Even the club badge is pencil..!!

Here is a completed drawing for my 8 year old son that I have just finished.

This is Julian Speroni, the Crystal Palace FC goalkeeping legend and as my son is a budding young goalkeeper and supports the mighty Eagles (just like his dad) with Julian being his favourite player.

My brother who is a season ticket holder at Selhurst asked Julian to sign both of my son's gloves at the end of the season (which he very kindly did) so I thought it would be a nice touch if I drew the man himself, (especially as it is his testimonial year) and get it professionally framed along with the gloves for a end of yr 3 gift to say well done for doing really well at school and for doing really well in goal for Crawley Towns under 8's.

I would really love to have Julian Speroni himself sign the actual drawing to really finish it off. If any of you know Julian personally then if you can show him my drawing and if I can possibly meet up with him so he can sign it that would be awesome and really make my sons day.
