Behind the scenes of creating the Sean Wants To Be Messi artwork

The colorful illustrations in the books, by artist Elettra Cudignotto , were based on collages of photos I put togther.
I used photos from the internet and models in order to create the compositions I envisioned.

The cheapest models I could find were the members of my family ( Me, my partner and my son) - they worked for free, or for cheap benefits, like a trip to the ice cream store.

But then we traveled to Barcelona for the shoot, and a year later to London.
