The FIFA 2010 Official Art Edition is a collection of photos compiled by African artists for the 2010 World Cup. Seventeen artists either living in Africa or originally from Africa, contributed works to this collection. Why do Africans get to have all the fun?
I love fan art as much as the next guy, but sometimes it's nice to see the professionals do their thing. The FIFA 2010 Official Art Edition features everything from a bright red elephant clutching a soccer ball to a sporting rendition of a classic bible scene. Check out a few of the works in the book in the gallery above. Even art this amazing can't cure my World Cup fever.
