Andrew Ettingshausen 1990's Footy Card

Nothing reminds me more of being a 90’s kid than swapping footy cards in the schoolyard with my mates. This one was hot property… International honour roll with the iconic Andrew Ettingshausen of the Cronulla Sharks.

Ettingshausen, known by his nickname ‘ET’ was a 90’s icon for the black, white and blue, playing 328 games for the Sharks and scoring 165 tries. ET went on to star in his own fishing show Escape With ET which still runs to this day.

This original piece took artist Dean Spinks over 50 hours to draw in his unique photorealistic style using Copic Markers on Strathmore Bristol paper.

Obsessed with the symmetry and expression of the human face, Dean works almost exclusively in portraits. Using black ink markers, his unique crosshatching style allows for high contrast and great detail, creating dramatic, impactful works of art.
