Eddie Nketiah
An Eddie Nketiah piece for The Square Ball — less a portrait than a drawing of the exact sound of a crowd deciding it loves someone. EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE.
About the Project
Created for Issue 4 of The Square Ball, back in 2019.
This one was less about subtle psychological portraiture and more about trying to give visual form to the precise sound of a crowd deciding it likes somebody.
In other words: Eddie Eddie Eddie, over and over, with the typography and illustration doing some of the shouting too.
