Kicking off the new season of Career Stories, Greenock-based artist Craig Black shares his journey from being a promising young footballer to creating works of art across the world for major brands.

Craig talks to Joe and Carrie about how he gradually realised art, design and painting were always a passion for him and even as the football career dream came to an end it was actually just the beginning of a bigger opportunity.

Craig has worked for companies including the NFL, NBA, Porsche and the English Premier League. And recently he realised the dream of a lifetime when he collaborated with Disney.
