Rise Of The Machine - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
- Here’s something very different for me, a scene that showcases the characters rather than eluding to them. The reason for this will become clearer in 2020 as part of my recently established ‘MD Studios’ brand but I do love the impact of this addition, something that I embraced with the ‘The Fight Of Our Lives’ (Avengers) original and ‘My Greatest Adventure’ (UP) original that went to the U.S.
My ‘Lost in Hollywood’ collections have been so incredibly well received by collectors and with my previous collection continuing to be popular in galleries I was keen to create a piece that followed on and would sit really nicely within the movie artworks yet offer something a little different.
What we see is an abandoned theme park that is starting to be reclaimed whilst an imposing entrance to ‘Lost in Hollywood’ world frames the scene. The cool thing is it is all a question of timing and what you see compared to what you could have missed. My previous style of not showing characters could have existed a mere ten seconds prior to what you now see, yet you now see a scenario where the machines are rising up and taking control.
Like with so many other movies I have toyed with the idea of interpreting ‘Short Circuit’ for years and it was at a charity event earlier in the year and the day after ‘Lost in Hollywood 2’ was released that I was heckled by Johnny 5! It reminded me just how much I loved him from the films so I had to give him the lead role here. It was his mischievous character that is shown again here as he goes on a mission to ‘tag’ the park.
I always have the main hook when planning each piece but I love to see how it evolves and adjusts as you create and build each scene and that is personified by a bumper car rocking up (well at a steady 8.8mph!) and being driven by EVE and WALL-E, totally random but really quite cute. Other iconic machines and characters play their part, quite something to imagine being stood there as Alien and Predator jump into view! Then ED-209 takes his position, he scared the hell out of me as a kid when I first watched Robocop on VHS with my mate Keith. The brutality was so raw and real I had never seen anything like it and it still freaks me out seeing the sense of panic in the room as the countdown starts. You have twenty seconds to buy!

Spielberg's Hollywood - The Original - SOLD
-
You know I’m partial to the occasional piece of movie art! I know this falls within my ‘Retrospective’ body of work but I always look to include a movie scene as this collection tends to fall just ahead of the festive season and there aren’t many better times to watch a blockbuster than at Christmas.
My movie art is typically within my ‘Lost in Hollywood’ series and if you look at this piece and what is going on, then you well and truly are just that, or possibly legged it in Hollywood! I have wanted to do a full-on movie ‘mash up’ for a good while now as I have always enjoyed the prospect of different movies all playing out at the same time and seeing the chaos that ensues. Building on this, I also knew that there was cracking potential to showcase a specific film director each time as each attracts a die-hard following. So here we are in 2022 and the premier of ‘Spielberg’s Hollywood’.
So, initially the plan was to set this within the cinema itself, which would have been great and still can be but given the type of films that Spielberg has mastered and that I have loved depicting in past works, I felt that I needed more space for the mayhem to unfurl and I do love a gritty street scene. A retro styled movie theatre is the backdrop to an alleyway that is literally littered with detail and references to some of his most incredible movies, some more blatant than others! I won’t list them all for you as I prefer you to be left to seek them out. I’ll give you a clue though, there’s a couple of dinosaurs in there hiding!
I’ve said before how I don’t plan out every single detail before I start as I prefer to see how the piece evolves, twists and turns whilst I fall deeper into the mindset of what I am creating, and this is personified with this image and is so much stronger and intriguing from it. In an age where nothing stands still and you can’t keep up with the new ways that they are bringing the movie closer to the audience, it’s crazy and exciting, brutal actually. I say that from past experience of watching a Jurassic Park movie in 4DX, I left feeling battered and bruised and a bit giddy, to think I almost brought my Mum along with me too!
I wanted to go even further in this piece, and this is how it evolved so nicely. A solitary movie chair takes center stage, with the sole audience, you, clearly missing! At what point did you decide to leg it? The T-rex? The three-legged alien? (I’m sure I had a friend with that nickname!) Surely not E.T? The aim was to create a truly immersive cinematic experience that makes 4DX and IMAX look like a Punch and Judy show! Oh, and a little insight into my thinking, the position of the chair with the T-Rex bearing down on it, or you was a nod to the toilet scene in Jurassic Park.
I loved working on ‘Speilberg’s Hollywood’, it has turned out so well and hit another level to how I first envisaged. I hope you love it, it’s a blockbuster that’s offered in small numbers, after all, greed breeds monsters.

The World Is Yours (Scarface) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
- I will be honest, I’m a bit of a big girls’ blouse when it comes to blood and guts in movies, I used to look away when watching ‘Casualty’ on TV as a kid, embarrassing eh! Luckily, it seems that the earlier films were a bit easier to stomach, the effects were not as brutal as what they are now so I could just about deal with it, proper ‘gangsta’ me!
Just like the ‘Godfather’ movies, I knew so much about ‘Scarface’ but had never actually watched it in full. So, when I came to finally getting down to watching the movie, cushion at the ready, I had to do more research than normal as I needed to really understand the narrative. So, when I kept seeing ‘chainsaw scene’ pop up on web pages, I started to feel a twitch! The initial plan was to release this piece purely in my ’VHS’ format and for it to be driven by the 1980s Miami setting, yet even at the initial research stage and before even watching the film, there was something that really struck me with Tony Montana’s office. The scale of the lamps, the colours, the backdrop – there was something that kept making me go back to it.
However, despite getting that buzz knowing that something special could come from this, I sat down and watched the film and the ‘Pacino’ masterclass. What a movie, a shining example of how greed really does breed monsters. I loved it, absolutely loved it and my mind was well and truly made up on the chosen direction for this piece. I instead chose to lead with a full scene image that was set within Tony’s office and mimic the composition from my 2021 ‘Godfather’ piece ‘Vendetta’ that took you inside ‘Don Corleone’s’ office and right in front of the main man himself. Powerful. So, what you now see is Montana sat at his desk, looking to his right slightly. The ideal scenario would be that collectors who had ‘Vendetta’ could then hang ‘The World Is Yours’ adjacent to it so that Tony is half looking towards the Don, a subtle nod of respect.
The end result is one that I feel so bloody excited about, the impact is dramatic, whilst the sense of accomplishment is right up there, as I pieced the office together from scratch as I did with ‘Vendetta’. I love a challenge and even more when that seed grows and manifests into something really special. There are so many cracking references for you to seek out, have you spotted that the interior fabric of his open briefcase matches that iconic tropical red shirt that he wore in the film? Study this piece whilst listening to ‘Tony’s theme from the movie soundtrack and it is so powerful. So, you can simply enjoy as a cracking tribute to the film or for those that have an obsession over it, I have added some really subtle links.
Like I have said before, I spend so much time researching, looking into fan theories as well as professional interpretations and movie trivia. I was particularly drawn to the use of violet throughout the film, it features heavily and is suggested that it is due to the fact that the colour represents death. I made sure to bring this into my piece and centre mainly behind Montana. Now it links to the other key element, the blackened bird that has flown in through the open doors and is rising up behind him whilst his back is turned. As with ‘Vendetta’ and the ‘Godfather’ movie where the use of oranges was often placed to suggest death is close by, the Raven is representing how his enemies are rising up behind him, none more so than we saw in the epic final scene where he goes down in a ‘Yeyo’ fuelled blaze of glory by being picked off by ‘The Skull’.
So, for a ‘late starter’ I hope I have done this incredible movie justice as I know how people really love the film. The great thing is that the key element from the piece has translated so well into the VHS format as an alternative option for lovers of those smaller collectible artworks. Say hello to my little friend! -

Underwater Love - Large Limited Edition
- So, this piece literally came out of the blue! In May 2020, as part of my ‘Lost In Hollywood 3’ collection, I created a piece entitled ‘Q-Division’ - a conceptual piece designed to celebrate and combine all of Daniel Craig’s James Bond movies.
‘No Time To Die’ was due to be released that year and I wanted to mark the finale of his fifteen-year tenure as Bond with something special. Then the pandemic took hold, and it is only now (September 2021) that the film finally makes its long-awaited appearance. I was in the middle of creating a piece for my ‘Retrospective 3’ collection when an idea was born, and I just had to run with it. Despite having a clear plan for each month, it was something that got into my head, and I just thought, bollocks to it! I’m doing it! So here we are, with ‘Underwater Love’.
Memories of the classic Bond films as a kid are vivid and special and I cherish them. I lost my way with several of them after that but became drawn to them more for the beautiful introductions that showcase the lead song, they are works of art in themselves. ‘Skyfall’ was an incredible example of this, but it was the hypnotic and surreal qualities of ‘Spectre’ that stuck with me. It is just brilliant! I guess, it is that quality that I strive to inject into my work, and it has driven this piece. The scene is dominated by the beautiful Aston Martin DB10 that is flanked by the backdrop of Rome as Bond waits to welcome Madeleine Swann. The two characters add a real quality to the piece as their eyes are on you, helping to put you in the scene, or just outside of view. If you look closely, you will see that her dress is starting to morph into a mermaid’s tail, it is a beautiful addition.
My portfolio has a good number of underwater pieces, it is the concept of not knowing if you are above or below the surface that I love. So, for this piece you will see that the octopus that creeps and curls itself throughout the intro to ‘Spectre’ is present and is coming towards you, but is it through the air or making its way through the water? ‘Underwater Love’ explores the concept of being under ones’ spell, hypnotised, giddy by their presence and power. Where you are influenced or controlled by one through being fascinated, enchanted, or seduced. Reality gets blurred as you retreat into your own, very different world. This is the point where it could get heavy, intense but that is for another day. If you embrace how I think and work then you will get what this piece can truly symbolise, but it can simply be enjoyed for a beautiful scene made up of beautiful characters, a beautiful car and a beautiful city. So, even though Daniel Craig’s time as Bond nears its end, my apparent love for mermaids lives strong! -

Until The End Of Time (Moulin Rouge) - Large Limited Edition
£545.00
- This incredibly powerful film has been on my radar for a good while for a number of reasons. The intensity of the narrative and the lead characters is genuinely fascinating whilst the plot fits beautifully with my love for all things darkness and light and the body of work that I have built that portrays this contrast. The ‘no matter what it takes’ mentality of the two lovers is incredible and in-line with other past pieces such as ‘We Are Together Now’ (Beauty & The Beast) and ‘Love will Find a Way’ (Romeo & Juliet). It is that strength of character and resilience that has always struck a chord and personifies the concept of what one would do for love. Another appealing factor was the fact that the story is set within Paris, a city that I have such a love for and have shared so many special memories within. I originally planned to tackle this as a classic ‘Storyteller’ piece that was built on an intense scene that centred on the iconic windmill. However, with a partner who has so many classic Parisienne posters I chose (was pushed!) to interpret the striking movie poster from 2001. This way I could focus on the intense connection between the two characters in the same way as I have previously done with the two pieces mentioned above. With this more abstract style it allows for a sense of movement rather than being static, it allows for the intensity of their emotions to radiate outwards from them through subtle signature details such as the love hearts and butterflies. Every element has been amplified to create more emotion and a bigger impact. For those who aren’t familiar with the plot of Moulin Rouge, the year is 1899, and Christian, a young English writer, has come to Paris to follow the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city's drug and prostitute infested underworld. And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more alive than at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by the dancers, but things take a wicked turn for Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with the star courtesan of the club, Satine. But her affections are also coveted by the club's patron: the Duke. A dangerous love triangle ensues as Satine and Christian attempt to fight all odds to stay together but a force that not even love can conquer is taking its toll on Satine. My favourite detail is the subtle use of butterflies to depict the wish for Satine to be free from her manager’s ‘promise’ and free to be with her true love Christian. A lovely detail made even more poignant by her passing and therefore fitting beautifully into the main reason why I use these within my works, symbolising a person’s true spirit being free. I also love the view over Paris, it brings back special memories of spending Christmas with my family in a beautiful apartment that overlooked the city as the Eiffel tower sparkled into life. A true city of contrasts that’s for sure! Spectacular Spectacular, I hope you’ll agree!

With this more abstract style it allows for a sense of movement rather than being static, it allows for the intensity of their emotions to radiate outwards from them through subtle signature details such as the love hearts and butterflies. Every element has been amplified to create more emotion and a bigger impact. For those who aren’t familiar with the plot of Moulin Rouge, the year is 1899, and Christian, a young English writer, has come to Paris to follow the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city's drug and prostitute infested underworld. And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more alive than at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by the dancers, but things take a wicked turn for Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with the star courtesan of the club, Satine. But her affections are also coveted by the club's patron: the Duke. A dangerous love triangle ensues as Satine and Christian attempt to fight all odds to stay together but a force that not even love can conquer is taking its toll on Satine. My favourite detail is the subtle use of butterflies to depict the wish for Satine to be free from her manager’s ‘promise’ and free to be with her true love Christian. A lovely detail made even more poignant by her passing and therefore fitting beautifully into the main reason why I use these within my works, symbolising a person’s true spirit being free. I also love the view over Paris, it brings back special memories of spending Christmas with my family in a beautiful apartment that overlooked the city as the Eiffel tower sparkled into life. A true city of contrasts that’s for sure! Spectacular Spectacular, I hope you’ll agree!

Until The End Of Time (Moulin Rouge) - Standard Limited Edition #3AP
£296.25
- This incredibly powerful film has been on my radar for a good while for a number of reasons. The intensity of the narrative and the lead characters is genuinely fascinating whilst the plot fits beautifully with my love for all things darkness and light and the body of work that I have built that portrays this contrast. The ‘no matter what it takes’ mentality of the two lovers is incredible and in-line with other past pieces such as ‘We Are Together Now’ (Beauty & The Beast) and ‘Love will Find a Way’ (Romeo & Juliet). It is that strength of character and resilience that has always struck a chord and personifies the concept of what one would do for love. Another appealing factor was the fact that the story is set within Paris, a city that I have such a love for and have shared so many special memories within. I originally planned to tackle this as a classic ‘Storyteller’ piece that was built on an intense scene that centred on the iconic windmill. However, with a partner who has so many classic Parisienne posters I chose (was pushed!) to interpret the striking movie poster from 2001. This way I could focus on the intense connection between the two characters in the same way as I have previously done with the two pieces mentioned above.

‘Are You A God?’ (Ghostbusters) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
- What better way to celebrate the first ‘Ghostbusters’ movie turning 40 by unveiling an incredible collaborative tribute by British digital artist Mark Davies and journalist and presenter Alex Brooker!
‘Are You A God?’ is what you get when two huge creative minded ‘Ghostbusters’ fans come together and cross streams, OK, so it may not be total protonic reversal (that wouldn’t do anyone any good), but it is one heck of a piece of art!
2016 saw Mark first demonstrate his love for the franchise with the release of ‘Who You Gonna Call?’, a piece created to encourage you to seek out the hidden details and clues from within Ghostbusters HQ, a trait that followed on from his ‘Storyteller’ works and that lead him to creating the start of an epic cinematic art collection that we know so well, ‘Lost in Hollywood’!
Two years later saw the intensity ramp up with the now sold out ‘Saving The Day’ limited edition that showed the crew and their iconic ‘ECTO 1’ heading out to save the City from the demonic ‘Gozer’. The reaction to that piece was phenomenal and it was the reason how Mark and Alex were introduced. It was during the dark times of COVID-19 that collectors saw Alex’s ‘Saving The Day’ print hanging behind him during a live stream and alerted Mark to it. From that point it has been a genuine case of a mutual respect for what the other does, combined with a wonderful, shared love for all things ‘Ghostbusters’ and beyond.
Alex is an avid collector and supporter of Mark’s movie artworks, and it was in 2021 that he commissioned him to create an original piece of art on ‘Home Alone’, another film that Alex adores. The results were spectacular and not only described as the best piece of art on that movie that exists but also proudly featured on SKY TV. The whole process was so much fun and demonstrated what can be achieved working together on a subject that both absolutely love.
So, how could that be followed up? Well, this is how! Winter 2023 is when Alex challenged Mark to create something amazing on one of his favourite scenes and that could work as a project that could benefit a specific charity. What started out as a text message has evolved and exploded into a gaw-droppingly epic scene that will not only excite fans of the film and show what happened after the ‘Ghostbusters’ headed out that night, but it will do so much good for an incredibly worthy cause that is ‘Reach’ - the leading charity in the UK that provides support for children and young people with an upper limb difference and their families.
Alex - “I can still remember how blown away I was when I first saw ‘Saving The Day’. I’d never bought a piece of artwork before but that quickly changed! I genuinely love Mark’s work and it’s been great getting to know him over the past four years. This has resulted in me adding ‘Bustin’ Ghosts’ to the “Ghostbusters wall” in my house and commissioning ‘Somewhere In My Memory’. Alongside ‘Ghostbusters’, my other great cinematic love is ‘Home Alone’ and the piece went beyond my wildest dreams. Collaborating with Mark was a joy and ultimately led to what is by far, the best piece of ‘Home Alone’ art I’ve ever seen. That I can say its mine is even better.
And so, we come to ‘Are You A God?’. Much like ‘Somewhere In My Memory’, I had an idea of what I wanted the piece to show. A text to Mark with a picture of an iconic scene on top of ‘55 Central Park West’ aka ‘Spook Central’ has led us here. I wanted it to reflect my love for ‘Ghostbusters’ and once again Mark has gone beyond my expectations! Make no mistake, while I have been fortunate to have such an influence on it and include so many of my favourite details from the film, Mark’s talent is what has delivered the incredible piece. And I’m so pleased we’ll also be helping ‘Reach’ – a charity very close to my heart.
I said before ‘Somewhere In My Memory’ is the best piece of ‘Home Alone’ art I’ve seen, and when it comes to ‘Ghostbusters’ – WE GOT ONE!!!!!”
Mark – ‘I love what I do, to have the ability to re-imagine my memories as visual artworks that resonate so strongly with my collectors is absolutely brilliant. The only way this is topped is when you get the opportunity to collaborate on a commissioned piece, everything is amplified, the emotion, the ideas, the responsibility to do justice to their hopes and vision and then seeing the excitement build as that seed evolves and explodes into reality!
For me, it is the interaction and the emotion that is everything to me, I feed off it. Not for my ego, hell no! It is quite simply because art to me is everything, it’s how I talk, bleed, and ultimately heal. So, to know that Alex is such a fan of what I do is so special. To then collaborate with him and feed off each other’s passion and bring his thoughts to life as well as have a damned good laugh in the process was amazing. I’m not sure it’s right to describe us as the ‘Gatekeeper’ and “Keymaster’, that might come across as a bit strange in your neighbourhood!
I pride myself on having strength through adversity. I have immense respect for Alex and the outstanding courage that he shows and the success that he enjoys, it’s remarkable and the passion for everything that he takes on is a joy to see. I have huge respect for the man.
‘Are You A God?’ is epic! I am buzzing at the result! So much so that I could probably grab a proton pack and take on the ‘prehistoric b*tch’ myself! I hope you guys enjoy seeking out all the details within the scene, it’s all in there, and some! As well as being a cracking celebration of a huge moment in an iconic movie, the image is so powerful for what it also represents, the strength of collaborative efforts to take on and win the battle.’
Offered in a range of highly collectible limited-edition formats ‘Are You A God?’ has all the makings of a true blockbuster that shows just what can be achieved when you really go for it and embrace authenticity. The boys did good! Call it fate. Call it luck. Call it karma. We believe that everything happens for a reason.
