Marcus Marritt

Co-Founder, High Press Publishing

Glasgow-based illustrator Marcus Marritt is one of the world’s leading football-artists. A master of minimalism in both form and colour Marcus has worked with UEFA, The FA, Bayern Munich, Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC, The FA of Ireland, Aston Villa, BT Sports and more.

His approach to illustration is characterized by a restrained colour palette, with light and shadow playing a key role in creating a cohesive and distinct body of work. His eye for vibrant colours, subtle gradients, and minimalist design elements imbue his work with a clean, colourful aesthetic that is unmistakably his own.

Starting out in creative services, Marcus' passion for illustration eventually led him to pursue it full-time and he has since become one of the world's leading football artists working with top-tier clients such as The FA, Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC, The FA of Ireland, Aston Villa, and BT Sport. His impressive portfolio includes designing the program covers for the 2019 and 2020 FA Cup Finals and a UEFA commissioned exhibition for their HQ in Geneva, celebrating the 2020 European Championships.
