Marcelo Bielsa ¡Carajo!
The Marcelo Bielsa ¡Carajo! print — loud, devotional, and drawn at a resolution that later let it survive being blown up onto a flag at Elland Road.
About the Project
Vamos Leeds, etc. etc. There is no (fuck) on the version I sell, sadly for everyone involved.
This one was meant to feel oversized in every sense — louder, rougher and more devotional than a normal portrait, with enough resolution to survive being treated like public infrastructure.
It eventually ended up on a flag that now lives at Elland Road as a semi-permanent fixture; full credit to @LEGSYN8GELDERD for that. One of the quiet benefits of drawing at absurd resolutions is that the work scales beautifully onto things no sensible person ever intended.
Open any figure to inspect surface, print detail, and framing more closely without losing the overall sequence. Motion plates play inline at full page size.
Louder, rougher and more devotional than a normal portrait — on purpose.
Drawn at a resolution no sensible person needs, which is exactly why it holds up this close.
Framed, mounted, on Hahnemühle, and part of a set.
It ended up on a flag that now lives at Elland Road — full credit to @LEGSYN8GELDERD. Public infrastructure, basically.
Sequence note
Every figure here opens full-screen — click any plate to expand it, then arrow or swipe through the sequence without losing your place. The deep zoom plates at the end go all the way to print resolution: close enough to see individual strokes, and you’re encouraged to.
Deep zoom appendix
Print-resolution studies
These appendix plates are wired for the Deep Zoom lightbox flow described in the implementation spec: inspection JPEG first, then tiled print-resolution detail once the viewer is ready.
