Gregorski Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Just putting some feelers out on here to see how well this would go down. A couple of years ago I was commissioned to produce an illustration in this style... http://www.gregorlouden.com/illustration.html#4 My idea is to do something similar but with the letters H M F C. It would be a lot larger than the Glasgow one I've shown here and with a lot more detail. Once complete, I would then be selling prints of it with all proceeds going towards the famous. The idea is to make up the letters with all different sorts of objects that make up Heart of Midlothian(that includes eight Scottish Cups and the numbers 5 and 1 of course). Anyone else on here could suggest what to include also and I'll endevour to include the suggestions. So, do you think this is a go-er? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorski Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hello again. After your overwhelming response to my idea( ) I found myself encouraged to go ahead and start the illustration. To be honest, whether it takes off or not or I don't make a single sale, i'm going to do this anyway as i'm finding it theraputic in dealing with al this admin turmoil. This is what i have so far... Again the idea is to make up the letters H M F C out of objects and images connected with the mighty Jambo's. Let the encouragement or pelters begin.

Alan_R Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 After looking at the link, I think the final coloured print will look awesome. Very interested to see how this works out. All the best with the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregorski Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 What size would these be? Looks cool as feck Still to decide this. I'm scanning the illustrations in at a pretty high resolution so the final version could be blown up pretty large. Whatever everybody thinks would be the best size I'd be happy to go with. Maybe A1?

troonmaroon Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Will look great. Ideas - the Adam arms aloft 98 goal celebration. The tunnel and hearts crest above. Wayne foster on the ER fence. THE Heart of Midlothian (ie in cobbles on royal mile). The 06 team standing shoulder to shoulder at the penalty shoot out (or just after that miss when they start the celebrations). Scraping the barrel now but...Hearty Harry, lol! Will think of more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregorski Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Wee Robbo will feature for certain. 27 will be in there. Also I'd love this to be as much about the Hearts community as it is about the club itself. So, if anybody has any Hearts related photographs of themselves or family then post them here and I'll make sure to include them. It could be anything, your great grandad with a hearts scarf on, your dog with a hearts scarf even. Anything that tells a personal story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_R Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Craig Gordon for the fact he is the biggest transfer fee received It doing HEARTS then the flat horizontal at the top of the 'T' could be full goals with Gordon diving across and finger tipping a save away.

Also what about a few classic strip designs (like the wee shirts featured in the glasgow one) Good idea about the "T". Maybe five different goals scattered throughout the illustration, each one occupied by either Gordon, Roussett, Smith, Niemi or Cruikshank? Classic strip designs definitely!

The People's Chimp Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Great idea. More than enough suggestions in there I imagine.
