LOUISE COBBOLD I AWARD-WINNING portrait Artist
Very grateful to have been commissioned by the Football Association to create the cover artwork for the 2022/23 official Emirates FA Cup final programme cover between Manchester City and Manchester United as well as the semi-final programme covers (Manchester City v Sheffield United and Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester United). A player (semi-finals) / manager (final) from each team features on the flip covers. Here are the six paintings that make up the collection.
Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola. Painting for the official Emirates FA Cup final programme cover 2022/23.
Manchester United Manager Erik Ten Hag. Painting for the official Emirates FA Cup final programme cover 2022/23.

A selection of acrylic on canvas paintings I have created for Topps UK for their UEFA Living Set trading card collection (both for Euro 2024 and for UCL, UEL, UWCL club competitions). Every fortnight a set of three of my paintings are released as trading cards, available for one week only. A second artist based in the USA has a set of three of his paintings released every fortnight too (so we effectively alternate).
I partnered with Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club for five seasons, with the some of the highlights in this time including two seasons of award-winning match day Premier League and Europa League programmes, a 45m x 11m banner in the Steve Bull stand at Molineux (for Raúl Jiménez following his fractured skull), a museum exhibition of my paintings of club legends past and present as well as a range of commissions from players and staff. I am particularly grateful for the encouragement and support of so many Wolves fans, many of whom had no previous interest in art, who now have prints of my paintings hanging in their homes (we made these available over a period of five seasons via our Sports Personalities company).
