- ODDGODS™are the creation of Jon Phillips, a graphic designer/illustrator living in Cardiff .
- Most people have someone they look up to whether it be their mum/dad, brother/sister, popstar/moviestar, there's always someone you admire, in this case “The Sports Personality” comes into the equation.
- As an avid fan of rugby, during the 6 Nations 2005 Jon decided to pay tribute to one of his favourite players by creating a character dedicated to him, in this case it was Adam Jones, the tighthead prop for Wales . He printed the character onto a t-shirt and wore it out in Cardiff .
- The response from the general public was overwhelming, with many asking where they could get one or even have the one off his back!
- The next day the wheels were set in motion, and with the help, encouragement and advice from friends, family, the WDA, and Business In Focus, Jon set up a company called “Touchline Design”, and created more “ ODDGOD” characters.
