Japanese Soccer: Mr. 03, Troll King & Blueberry on Recycled Cardboard

Japanese Soccer: Mr. 03, Troll King & Blueberry on Recycled Cardboard

Painted on a found piece of cardboard near a soccer field in Shibuya, Japanese Soccer embraces the raw simplicity of its material while layering chaos and character into the composition. The exposed cardboard texture is broken up by bursts of white acrylic, creating a striking contrast between the natural background and the painted elements.

At the heart of the piece is Mr. 03, the central soccer protagonist, drawn in thin black acrylic marker over the white. Opposing him is Troll King, a creature both nasty and cute, who also appears in a ghostly light blue and pink form in the lower right. In the top right, a detailed and unusual version of Blueberry watches over the scene, adding to the painting’s offbeat yet compelling energy.

This piece blends simplicity with chaos, making it perfect for a study, creative space, or anywhere that invites conversation. Its raw, unpolished aesthetic and handwritten "JAPANESE SOCCER" text add to its urban, spontaneous feel. It would look particularly striking when framed.
