My interpretation of Michael Jackson’s ‘Moonwalker’ created using my
smoke-filled silhouette style of working. My 2016 piece ‘Policemen & Pirates’ (Peter Pan) touched on the downfall of the ‘King of Pop’ and the controversy that engulfed him so for this piece I wanted to throw everything into depicting him in a way that epitomised his mastery of choreography and iconic stature.
This piece is 100% good and positive, allowing him to shine and command the canvas as he did the floor. A constant stream of his classic albums whilst creating ‘Moonwalker’ such as ‘Thriller’ and ‘Bad’ certainly brought back good memories listening to them as a kid, interestingly though listening to the tracks as an adult with a genuine love for music the mastery of Michaels’ work was so much audible.
This piece interprets the iconic stance from the film, placing him in the smoke-filled bar that threw out so much great colour and light and draws all of that together to form his body to once again light up the room, whether you choose to see it as simply a cool depiction of Michael or his ghost is up to you but I wanted to further expand on the style that I am working closely with and take details that are used to construct pieces such as ‘BALBOA’, ’Teach You I Will’ and ‘Love Will Find A Way’ and utilise them in a way that delivers a seriously cool piece of art that can simply be enjoyed and identified with.
The level of detail is pretty insane close up but comes together to work well when reduced down so as to grab your attention, I have included some zoomed in detail in this email. This piece has been created to showcase the potential and possibilities of expanding on music icons in this style that sees the detail and intensity adjust depending on the subject and their characteristics that are shown. I wanted to create a subtle sense of movement here to show that Michael has just moved into the pose you see him in, so a fluid drag of the leg or raise of the arm is portrayed in the intricate detail that radiates from the figure.
When you throw yourself into creating a piece like this and surround yourself with that persons’ work even though the piece keeps the dark out you cant help but feel sad to see how that star has fallen which I feel contributes to the power of the image. Ultimately my aspiration with this piece was to create something that was different to what exists by other artists and to avoid being ring fenced as just another icon that people would buy because of their love for that character, I wanted to do something genuine from one artist to another.

I strive to do things differently. This is not your usual take on Neverland, I wanted to go at this from another angle with the aim to create the most beautiful vista possible.
This is a classic example where a piece evolves mid-way through into something so much more than what I originally intended to create, making it so much more beautiful and engaging even if the visual traits are almost unchanged. This is my idea of Heaven.
The sun is rising over the clouds, bringing with it new hope, with the warmth brings comfort. The upper branches of the trees and the mountaintops poke through the clouds with magical fairy detail dancing around them. If you then spot the pirate ship it does then make you question whether it is actually flying through clouds or sailing through a mist, a question of scale comes into play.
However, you interpret it the end result is truly immersive and captivating. I have long had an affiliation towards the Aurora since being lucky enough to have visited Lapland several years back, if you look closely you will spot them, look closer and you will see that they are actually made from peacock feathers! The beauty is within the detail here, there is no devil.
Creating this piece was incredibly calming and challenging, I had set myself a high target to achieve with creating the most beautiful scene imaginable. This is where the piece started to transform and take on a new meaning. For me and many I would hope that there can be no other place more beautiful than Heaven.
The more I worked into the scene it took precedence over Neverland, the detail is there of course but something exists that influenced my way of thinking. You will notice the two shapes that come together as one, adding this was powerful and incredibly emotional, it changes everything.
For within Heaven, as with Neverland, age is irrelevant, you become truly free, reunited.
