From the mass resignation of Ukraine’s Eurovision organising committee to the recent controversy surrounding a ban on Russia’s singer, it hasn’t been the easiest year to be a Eurovision fan. So today we’re saying sayonara to all of the drama, if only for a moment, by celebrating diversity and all of this year’s contestants. And we’re doing so in the most adorable way we can think of: With Eurovision cartoons!
Josue Gil Aleman — wiwibloggs’ resident designer — has spent the past several weeks dreaming up cartoon renderings of all of this year’s acts as part of his annual “Euroarts” collection. We’ve slowly been revealing the designs on social media — click here to see the ones published thus far. And now we’re printing them on t-shirts and phone cases so you can keep the joy close to your heart.
“What started two years ago as a distraction has today become a passion,” Josue says. “Creating these ‘Euroarts’ collections wasn’t in my plans — the idea just came to me and I made it real. That’s what happens when you’re passionate about something. If you’re proud of what you do, you have to share it with the rest of the world. I’m shocked and happy — but mostly shocked — about the reaction from Eurofans and even the Eurovision stars. Having artists like Suzy, Edurne and Sergey Lazarev liking and posting your work is just an indescribable feeling.”
You can see our first batch of designs below. We’ve printed each of them on t-shirts and phone cases, and in a wide range of colours. If you want to see the full range for each country and make a purchase, just scroll down and click on the relevant links. We’ll be uploading the rest in the weeks ahead. Every country will have shirts and phone cases, but as you can appreciate it takes a little bit of time to get them all up!

These look great…I especially love Yulia’s! Thanks for including her, especially in light of the fact that she’s being excluded from the competition. Love the show of support and inclusion <3

These are fantastic, the designer should be proud of himself! Maybe you could draw cartoons of past winners? and contestants! I’m very tempted I buy that Navi phone case! I hope you guys do this every year!

”Give me your body, let’s write a story” is the best, I would wear that on next team building in my company 😀 Also, I recommend ”Duying to try” for a job interview, lol

I think that in support of my home country Germany I’m just going to purchase a plain beige T-shirt. In my opinion, it best summarises the gist of our entry.

The artist has not only studied what they look like, but also how they act on stage. I’m impressed! Well done. 🙂

ESC fans should say “thank you” to our country at the end. Only Ukraine can give so much drama to the contest, we keep interest to eurovision news during whole year, not only in May! EBU should pay us a bonus for international PR. In the next year, when Italy will host, Russia send another “peaceful” song, Ukraine will be banned, you will feel the emptiness… … …
As a fellow designer and illustrator, I’m glad to meet other artists making Eurovision related arts 😛 I saw last year’s collection and have been following this year’s via twitter.
Good work Josue!
