Many people found new passions during some of the strictest coronavirus restrictions. Maybe it was knitting. Or painting. Or home projects. Or perhaps it was binging too many TV shows (guilty). For local soccer fan Luis Gamez, his pandemic hobby garnered attention from some of the biggest local names in soccer like Megan Rapinoe.
Gamez is the founder of Mini Footballer, which his website describes as “putting a mini twist on your special moments and loved ones.” That includes athletes, and in particular soccer players and teams. Gamez shrinks and exaggerates players from real photos, creating images that have made plenty of professional athletes chuckle and ask for one of their own.
