World Cup Crayon Carvings

These carved Crayons represent 6 futbol (or soccer) athletes from different countries: Brazil's Robinho, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, Italy's Fabio Cannavaro, England's Wayne Rooney, Ivory Coast's Didier Drogba, and France's Franck Ribéry. They were carved by artist Diem Chau for a Nike press kit designed by the agency Wieden+Kennedy for the 2010 World Cup.

Above are photos of the Didier Drogba Crayon taken from different angles. Diem says she was given 18 days to carve 66 figures (that's a little over 3.5 figures per day). The agency picked the specific Crayon colors to be used for each.

Above is a photo of the press kit pieces. You can see more pictures and read a little more about the project on Diem Chau's blog.
