Since France ’98, I’ve followed every World Cup, and of course one of my biggest obsessions has always been the mascots.
These are the mascots of this year’s tournament, hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the USA. It’s probably the only World Cup I’ll ever see hosted by my own country. Mexico is actually setting a record by becoming the first nation to host the tournament three times, which makes it even more special.
Ironically, while the World Cup is taking place in Mexico (and across North America), I’m currently traveling abroad. Still, I’ll be following the matches from afar, just as excited as ever.
Meet Maple (Canada), Zayu (Mexico), and Clutch (USA)
This traditional color pencil piece was created during my trip, so please excuse the photo quality, it’s not quite up to my usual standards.
The original artwork will be on display at the Anthrocon Art Show!
