Well, if you don’t consider yourself to be a fanatic sports fan, you rather paint a ball then kick one, or even if you classify art as body paint at the super bowl, one thing you can’t deny is the World Cup Craze! This 2010 summer has united the global people over the game of soccer… fútbol! In my daily comb through the internet, I came across a fantastic marriage of sport and art. The New York Times did wonderful coverage: “To Those With Nothing, Soccer Is Everything.” The story is covered by the photographer Jessica Hilltout, documenting villagers’ love of soccer across Africa.
