Hockey goalie - Jussi Markkanen, SaiPa

While Finland is sweating in a heatwave, it's easy to forget that there's only one month to the start of new ice hockey season. In order to cool myself a little bit, I did a player portrait of Jussi Markkanen - the magical goalie of my favourite hockey team. I could have picked him anyway, but in fact I chose a player whom the fans of SaiPa voted for the player of the season 2013-14. I hope to see him glueing the bucks in the way he did last season. Go Jussi, go SaiPa!

... and couple of close ups.

Andrea Pirlo - an artist of the football fields

If I should name the most elegant football player, that would be Andrea Pirlo of Juventus. And furthermore, he's not only elegant but also a real artist on the field. I've heard someone say: "Plays like a god, looks like Jesus". Forza Juve!

... some close ups.

Petteri Koponen - ready for basketball world cup 2014

As the football world cup in Brazil is now behind, it's basketball's turn. I believe that the finnish basketball fans are already looking forward the Basketball World Cup in Spain as it's the first time that the finnish national team managed to make its way to the tournament. Oh, and it's certainly a rare chance also for the players.

Petteri Koponen is one of the key players of the team. Here's a player portrait I made as a Photoshop practice.
