Soccer is BIG, and Sim and Goodman shares the dream, a dream to stand on the podium holding their mugs high! In my eyes these mugs are winners!
The images are of aspiring youth, playfully dreaming the American Dream to become a Superstar! The rhythm and the action are superbly captured by the use of repetition, line and figurative pose.
The blue coffee mug captures the intense anticipation of the opponents next move. The mug next to it is more relaxed … it is only practice time. I like the way Sim divided the surface to place the focus on the players AND the game!
And what do you think of this one? Are these the kids fooling around after the game?

SO glad to see some of Sim and Goodman’s creations again. I simply love the mug with the 2 little figures in red. They have captured movement and playfulness with such simplicity in all these mugs. One can almost feel the exitement of the coming games in S A. I’m sure these mugs will be a great hit.

It is so good to hear from you again.
The excitement is growing and artists will pick up on this! One does not need to be a soccer fan to appreciate these mugs… and I expect that these mugs most probably will be acquired by a not so much of a soccer fan!
Hope to hear from you soon.

The mugs look great. I like the simple line drawings. The mug with red figures is very attractive. Hope they do well.

Dear Gerrit
Love the decoration on your 2010 mugs. Remind me for some reason of aboriginal and san drawings, while being modern. Childlike and playful.
I’m sure they’ll do well.
