Old School English Football Grounds.

 I recently completed a set of 4 artworks showing Griffin Park former home ground of Brentford FC based on some drone pictures I took around the stadium. I enjoyed creating the artworks and wanted to see if I could create some more based on old style English Football stadiums, I searched for a selection of images that were public domain and created the following artworks.

Due to the rules on Clickasnap I can not share the un-watermarked versions there, so if clicking any image below it will open a link in another window to my sports grounds artworks album on Clickasnap, all the images there are my own creation based on original photo's by me.
