Hi guys, I want to tell you a story happened to me:

On the September 2011, I drew a cartoon on Jordan achievement in the World Cup qualifications first phase in Asia, which was a "Football" wears an Arabic "Keffiyeh" (a traditional headdress) and heading to Brazil with slogan يلا عالبرزيل (Let's go to Brazil) and so that the illustration was later published through Goal.com the Arabic edition.

Later on it popped to my mind an idea to draw a mascot to Jordan with a business plan to establish a T Shirt and merchandising industry to supports the Jordanian national team. So I went the Jordan Football Association on the 15th of May 2012 to meet the marketing managerMohannad Mahadeen to work with the JFA on the idea. Mahadeen asked me to draw a mascot which I made him an eagle wears the Jordanian jersey.

Later he told me that the JFA can't afford to spend on the project because they don't have the cash. Later I was surprised to see the JFA is asking an advertising agency to design a mascot with using my slogan (Let's go to Brazil) and recently they are printing T-Shirts with it to sell it to the markets before the important matches between Jordan and Uruguay.

I think this was one of my longest vacation ever, I took 20 days break and visited Dubai, which is an amazing city I met some friends there.
Now am so excited to get back for work again, I miss the football world, matches and news.
Cheers

Hi all,

It's been more than a year since I started drawing football cartoons, which I really enjoy drawing them, and am more enjoying how many friends I gained who are sharing with me this experience.
Any way, if you have time please answer me these questions:
1) How do you rate them, and what do you suggest to make it better?
2) I generally focus on Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, should I draw on another leagues more?
3) Do you see my attempt on drawing players faces clear? or should I try more? How do you see the quality?
4) Do you see me bias to a certain club or players?
5) Do you want to see my cartoons on other languages? or it's fine to stick with English?
6) Are they funny?
7) Any other opinions and suggestions?

Love you all and thank you very much

Omar Momani
