Stive Pesley Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Don't ever remember seeing this posted on here, but i was just feeling envious of a Donny Rovers fan showing off his lovely art print of their old ground, and it turns out that the artist has done all of the "retired" grounds in the UK https://www.matthewjiwood.com/shop/baseball-ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Of course I can see the resemblance, but that doesn't scream BBG to me. It's too sharp. Too bright. Too clean. Too angular. Too neat and tidy. It's even too black and white! I appreciate there's artistic licence involved, and it's far far better than anything I could produce, but it ain't for me. I'd rather print summat like this off and frame it... and even this ain't fantastic, but it's more realistic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I've got one of these (number 402 of 750) on the dining room wall - will try to take a better photo when I have time: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more atmospheric. Much classier. That, I like. I'm not one for hanging (or collecting) pics/photos etc, but if I was, that would be my sort of thing.

Mucker1884 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Also, note all the alternatives posted so far. All landscapes. Only the OP's link shows a portrait perspective, and all that sky blue screams more Highfield Road than BBG! *Apologies... I really should be more positive regarding this fine effort.

Haha - some of his others are much better, I was actually quite disappointed with his BBG effort in the end, but thought I'd share it anyway as some might like it (or maybe not!) I'd have preferred it if he'd shown the Popside not the main stand and that pitch is far too green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about the green pitch (Obvs!), but at least you still can't see the penalty spot! LOL! I don't mind the view, but then I was an Ossie-Ender, so I had a similar view.

He appears to do more angles for other clubs and also subuteo teams for clubs he feels are more worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
