This is my contribution to this week's topic of illustration friday: homage.
"In his native Brazil, Pelé is hailed as a national hero. He is known for his accomplishments and contribution to the game,[4] in addition to being officially declared the football ambassador of the world by FIFA and a national treasure by the Brazilian government. He is also acknowledged for his vocal support of policies to improve the social conditions of the poor (when he scored his 1,000th goal he dedicated it to the poor children of Brazil). During his career, he became known as "The King of Football" (O Rei do Futebol), "The King Pelé" (O Rei PeléWinking or simply "The King" (O Rei). He is also a member of the American National Soccer Hall of Fame."

I did this illustration for an exhibition about legendary people and it was printed on canvas in 3x3 meter, that was fun!
