The inspiration for wanting to draw this super fun parade of sporting folks comes from a strange fascination with the ‘mass sporting event’ – far from being just a type of exercise, the mass sport event is a new and constantly evolving festival that encapsulates many of our societies obsessions – it is a pageant, a festival, a party, a rite of passage. “It’s no less crazy than the old folk festivals or druids round the standing stones. It’s psychedelic!”
