Only the third banner I’ve designed that isn’t a Liverpool flag, this is a very special piece of work commissioned by Liam Cooch as a gift for his friend who is motorsport mad, and who is a particular fan of Valentino Rossi.

There are few people who transcend their sport and are known across the world even to those who know nothing about that sport – think Michael Schumacher, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Sachin Tendulkar, Serena Williams – “The Doctor” is certainly one such icon.
Given that the colour scheme for this is not quite what I’m used to, I had to place special orders for fabrics after drawing up the design. Watch this space for updates…
