Personalised street art sports poster — your champion sprayed in colour, their name as a tag

Your athlete as a highly detailed street art portrait in the middle of a concrete wall covered in graffiti: a blend of sports photography, black-and-white stencil and spray paint in electric blue and blazing orange, with drips, crowns and speed effects. Their face, features, hairstyle, kit and expression are taken from the photo. The gear of their sport is painted around them, and their name is sprayed as a tag at the foot of the poster.

For the one who plays: a teenage footballer for a birthday or the end of the season, a basketball player, a rugby player for Christmas, a weekend tennis player, a boxer, or a coach you want to thank at the end of the year. It also suits a bedroom or a living-room wall: it is a collector-style poster rather than a souvenir of a match.

Football (soccer), basketball, rugby, tennis or boxing. The sport is chosen before the portrait starts: it decides the gear painted around the athlete — ball, hoop, racket, gloves — and there is one sport per poster. Changing it means a new portrait, which uses one of the three tries per photo. For a race or a bike ride, see our marathon, sportive and mountain-bike posters, which draw the route.

A clear, well-lit photo with the face clearly visible, facing the camera or at three-quarters — JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 25 MB. The closer it is taken, the better the likeness; a photo in sports kit, with the ball or racket, makes the best poster. Only the athlete is painted: the background of the photo disappears.

The poster is made by an artificial intelligence in about thirty seconds: it takes the face, hairstyle and kit from the photo, but a likeness is not guaranteed — a street art portrait never has the precision of a photograph. You see the poster before you order, with three tries per photo; a refusal or a failure does not count as a try. Once you have ordered, the poster you saw is the one printed; like any personalised poster, it cannot be returned, except for a fault or an error on our part.

The name is typed into a field, up to 18 characters, and sprayed as a tag at the foot of the poster, in the colour of your choice: orange, electric blue, white or neon yellow. A line underneath is possible, up to 28 characters: their club, “No. 10”, their season. It is real text, written exactly as you typed it and not painted by the artificial intelligence: you change the name, the line and the colour at any time without redoing the portrait. For an exact number, write it on that line: a number already printed on the shirt in the photo can be altered by the portrait. The name is optional: without it, the poster stays a portrait.

No: the background is a concrete wall and the paint is electric blue and orange, with black and white, as in the sample images — that is what makes the series. Only the colour of the name is yours to choose. The signs drawn on the wall are graphic tags: they sometimes look like letters without saying anything.

One. Our tests were on a teenage footballer, a rugby player, a tennis player, a boxer and a basketball player, and each stayed true to their photo. With several people in the photo the result is not guaranteed: it is better to crop to the athlete who should be painted. You see the result before you order.

A little. The poster is created in 2:3, the ratio of the 40 × 60, and fills the whole sheet. On the other sizes, a little of the top and bottom is cropped — 11% at most on the 30 × 40, 6% on the A4 — ; the face is asked to be in the centre, and the name always stays on the sheet, whatever the size. There is never a white margin around it.

It is only used to make your poster. It is stored privately, never published, and we delete it thirty days after dispatch — or after purchase, for the printable file — along with the poster created. Location data in a phone photo is removed on upload. To be transformed, the photo is sent to an artificial intelligence service (Google), which receives it for that purpose only.

A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm: standard frame sizes, easy to find. Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, black, white or natural, with acrylic glass; larger sizes are delivered rolled, ready to frame at home.

250 g/m² satin matte paper, light-resistant pigment inks. Printed to order in our workshop in Aveyron, whatever the size. Shipped rolled in a rigid cardboard long box; the A4 goes flat in a cardboard sleeve, and a framed poster in a carton.
