Atlanta Braves Soccer-Themed Badge

10/52
Atlanta Braves Soccer Badge

If you know me well, you actually may find it surprising that I love the @braves. Recently, soccer has replaced my viewing of more baseball games, but my first love was baseball & the Braves. And I absolutely love going to the games.

If you look closely you can see Smoltzy warming up in the bullpen & David Justice rounding the bases after soloing to clinch the Braves '95 World Series. I remember watching that game so vividly. On the scoreboard, I listed my favorite players, most of which were on the '95 team. And the kit is in my favorite Sunday reds uni.

And meeting David Justice when I was probably 10 is a memory I still cherish. I actually shook a major leaguers hand, firm like my dad taught me, and David said I hurt his hand. I have always remembered that, even if he was kidding.

For a year, I am challenging myself to become a better digital Illustrator. I’ll be posting weekly (my goal is each Sunday) and sketching & drawing daily. To give some context, I am marrying the idea with a passion of mine; soccer. I am going to create 52 soccer-styled badges with different themes along the way. I hope you enjoy seeing them.
