Red Light Spells Danger (Little Red Riding Hood) - Original
- Little Red Riding Hood was a seduction tale with a truly awful undertone that tore through the pages penned by the original author. A tale of disguise, trickery and appalling acts, all of which are confronted and embraced within this captivating piece that draws you in and keeps you there. A battle of the senses takes hold leading to confusion with brutal stripped back evil hidden behind delicate beauty whilst all the time in the background burns an act so destructive it surely can’t be real, can it?

REGAN (The Exorcist) - Original *Explicit Content*
- This is an example of when you get free reign to do whatever you think is right and are trusted in your judgement! End result was an incredibly happy client!
The original film was truly shocking, made even more so because the lead character was played by a 12 year old girl - Regan MacNeil. In keeping with not showing the main character in my work I have embraced this challenge by focusing the scene on one of Regan’s dolls and giving the characteristics of the possessed child to her doll. I have always found those old porcelain dolls to be creepy and uneasily life-like so it was the perfect route for me to create the shock factor for the piece but one that had genuine meaning and emotion. Some of the scenes from the film involving the girls’ body are horrific and I have not wimped out on approaching this and depicting this within this piece. Ultimately my aim was to create a truly scary character but who is then made more easily confronted through injecting beauty into the scene and suggesting an underlying concept.
I have spent a good amount of time looking at the theories behind the plot and embracing the story lines for the characters in the hope that I would find something subtle that I could base my concept on and the one that struck a chord was the existence of neglect for both the priest Karras and the daughter Regan. Karras blamed tormented himself for neglecting his dying mother, a weakness picked up by Pazuzu the devil who possessed Regan and more importantly how the child herself had been neglected by her actress mother as a result of her work. This is the reason that I have set my piece up in the way that I have, showing a solitary doll sat in the darkness. However as with so much of my work and no matter how harsh and dark a piece may be I will always look to convey a sense of hope through the use of light and I have embraced this within this piece.
The room and more importantly the doll is brought into light from an opening door, primarily to represent the Priest coming to rid Regan of Pazuzu but also as a sign that she is about to be taken out of the darkness and away from neglect, it works in the sense that the mother acknowledges the negative impact of her work and reacts in a positive way for the benefit of both Mother and Daughter. Was Regan such an easy target for the devil because she was so vulnerable through neglect?
My aim here is to suggest this and to open up a much bigger concept where a child can become possessed in so many more ways through being shrouded in darkness and becoming vulnerable to their demons that are born purely from neglect. The scene shows the doll sat on a bed surrounded by objects that relate to the film in various ways, the piece is subtly divided into two, into dark and light. The old wooden bed frame is blackened and shows the sign of the devil burned into the surface which shows signs of cracking and it beginning the burn. Yet this is contrasted with hints of vibrant paint that signifies the happiness that should resonate from within a girls bedroom. The torn Damask wallpaper behind the bed adds to the darkness and ageing characteristics of the room, dated decor again suggesting neglect. Centrally to the bed is a small statue of Jesus nailed to his cross with head turned towards the darkness, a beaten figure, just another fallen hero. The ornate pillows feature an embroidered ‘P’ on the darker side representing Pazuzu whilst shrouded in light is a contrasting ‘R’ for Regan - portraying the girl and the devil within.
The doll that represents Regan shows cuts to her body that relate to those shown in the film, her eyes have a hint of green to further relate whilst her mouth, dress and skin show signs of the vomit that was projected towards Karras in another one of the iconic scenes from the film, made from pea soup and oatmeal apparently! A quote from the film is scrawled onto her skin ‘You Let him f*ck you’, pretty strong stuff. The most shocking part of the film for me was to see the possessed Regan driving a crucifix into her genitalia and I have not shied away from this, it is hard to stomach but this is the Exorcist. The battle between good and evil is played out over the doll with a combination of dark smoke and beautiful lighting detail with the latter working to gloss over the horror that is laid out before you. The dominant light that shines over the doll brings with it hope and goodness and leads towards her heart, good will always triumph over evil.
To the left of the doll as we look at it and where the shadows and darkness rule is an old wooden model of a church that has succumbed to evil, cracked wood, smoke and flames engulf the building and a sign reads ‘F*ck you Damien Karras’. In front of this are a pair of smashed glasses, those of the other Priest - Father Merrin, if you look closely you will see a hint of goodness there, with the little icons that are attracted to the glasses in the darkness. A solitary dove feather sits on the stained bed sheets in the gloom of the shadows yet there still exists light and hope surrounding it. To the right of the doll is the bible and rosary beads that burn, an upturned candlestick portraying something that should bring light and security yet with a single gesture can turn into a destructive force.
Finally, a single rose - Regan loved her mother so much, making clay animals for her and giving her a rose at each breakfast time yet suffered neglect and hurt. All in all a very challenging subject and a great commission and brief, I am happy that I have gone for it full on without just settling to shock but to make you think and to acknowledge that all hope is not lost. -

Rest In Pieces (The Loch Ness Monster) - Limited Edition
- On first look my portrayal shows that most likely Nessie is simply a mythical creature yet look a little deeper, literally and you will see that actually the so called monster did exist. Is that a good or a bad thing? Sadly the latter, everything that she should be able to embrace under the waves was compromised since the early 1900s through being hounded by those who are desperate to find fame in shallow waters and the commercially driven hype train that ultimately has grown into its’ own monster. Monsters surely are only man made in this day and age?
My intention was to create a beautiful, intriguing scene that progressed from darkness to light as you move upwards, not just visually but conceptually. This piece really is a case of what lies beneath the surface, the murky loch bed is a blend of eerie reeds and shadows, algae covered rocks that showcase all that is bad about mans’ impact here and it is where Nessie rests in pieces. Coins from an old crown to present day currency are scattered on the rock, symbolising how for years and years people have flocked to the water and quite literally thrown their money into the loch, effectively making a wish that they will see her. Vintage binoculars (made in Inverness), most likely fallen overboard feature an etched on image of the monster designed to trick, possibly a guided tour from way back?
The commercial aspect is further represented by the blackened and cracking soft toy, possibly cast into the water in disappointment. You might also spot an old abacus in the shadows, showing that this isn’t some quick hatched scheme to deceive and disappoint. I have laid a solitary thistle to embrace Scotland here, possibly as a gesture towards Nessie. Littering is a huge consequence of the scores of people who flood to the area, this is represented by a rusting drinks can and a bottle of whisky - also included as a light-hearted nod to those who might have had one too many before they claim to have seen their monster, after all a monster does so often surface when alcohol is involved. Look through the murkiness of the water and you’ll see an old wreck, a feature that is prominent within the vast loch whilst also reinforcing the damaging impact man has had on Nessies environment.
Moving upwards we see her spirit rising up and swimming beautifully towards the light which has been created to have a heaven-like quality to it, she is no longer hounded and hindered, she is finally free to rest in pieces. Ultimately I have strived to create something very different to what exists, to make you look and think a little deeper and hopefully the real monster might just surface. -

Ride On (The Magnificent Seven) - Original
- On the surface all seems right and genuine yet look a little closer, delve a little deeper and you’ll see that things really are far from as they should be, as they so easily could be if a mans’ ego could be suppressed and managed. For a good while now Steve McQueen had enjoyed the lime light, been labelled the main man and with the bright lights and hype people flocked to see him at every release. The trouble is that if you are continually told you are the star then the chances of you believing that you are what is written are high and if there is a weakness or flaw in your character then your demon is born and left unmanaged will continue to grow behind you and you ultimately become the victim of your own success and the controller of your own downfall.
Rather than focus on his own craft, McQueen started to become distracted and display signs of petulance against his compatriot Yul Brynner with whom he possibly viewed as a threat, fearing that there was a new sheriff in town effectively and rather than play to one anothers’ strengths for the greater good and benefit of all involved McQueen instead chose to battle for control against someone who was simply there to display his talent with a genuine motivation to see it brought into peoples front rooms. McQueen had clearly lost his head and lost his focus, the battle resided purely in his head but continued to make diva demands that started to fall on def ears of those who had originally pandered to every command in the fear of losing their main man whom they had built up to fill their coffers. Yet in complete contrast Brynner whom many looked at as the understudy just got on with his job that he was paid to do and shone and when quizzed about rumours of a rift simply replied "I never feud with actors. I feud with studios.” In this story the winds of change blow strongly, the monotony of the tumbleweed keeps rolling through before all that remains is dust, ultimately you decide who is the last man standing.
My take on John Sturges’ iconic film is one that is authentic and nostalgic, littered with detail and references to the 'Wild West’ period where the battle between good and bad play out in many ways. Subtle references exist that highlight the unrest between the two men, dark forces are again at work here, yet as ever there exists hope. I wanted to add a different detail to this piece and one that I haven’t introduced to date, as mentioned in my opening paragraph if you look a little more closely the eagle-eyed audience may just spot a few clangers within the scene, deliberately included to embrace the love of finding glaring director-made errors. As a result of the petulance outlined earlier those in charge of bringing a relatively large number of individuals together, each with their own characters and style and getting them to work as a team became distracted and complacency crept in and smaller details were overlooked. I won’t point out what those are but they are clearly there if you look closely.
The devil really is in the detail, ride on! -

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!

Rumposilshkin (Rumplestiltskin) - Limited Edition
- 'RUMPOSILSHKIN' - The follow up to my 2015 piece 'Say My Name Bitch' which unlocks and kicks open another door into this incredibly dark story
originally told by the Brothers Grimm.
A little white lie - does white represent innocence here? Not in this case. What started off white quickly blackened from the fires that burned from treating those around her like her servants whilst she laid about dreaming of riches, completely blinkered to the carnage that she has created.
They say greed breeds monsters, god ain’t that the truth! She saw an opportunity to take advantage of someone who worked tirelessly for her and who continually covered up her lies while she took the credit for everything. Abused and tormented yet with an unwaivering industrious manner that risked snapping himself in two, determined to keep to his promise until that moment when the last straw was reached and then no more.
A broken man made to feel worthless, turns to drink, turns to chapter 2. Turn the corner, turn the page, it’s blank, pick up the pen, fill the book.
A life built on a lie, well things aren’t turning out like she’d hoped. Merely a tenant within a castle, a castle with foundations cast on sand. Karma is king of your fucking castle bitch! Make hay while the sun shines because your storm clouds are growing taller behind you and the flames that follow mask out the sun that you chase.
Time will tell if she gets to wear her crown but being a queen isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be - when the King gets bored, heads can roll! Just ask Anne Boleyn!

Saving The Day (Ghostbusters) - Canvas Limited Edition
- I have waited and waited years to do this sequel to my 2016 ‘Who You Gonna Call Now?’ piece and I absolutely bloody love it! This is me not holding back and attempting to capture everything that is great about the movie and to hopefully be a fan’s favourite.
What an absolute monster of a film and franchise Ghostbusters is, made even more so by the era that the first film was set within - I love how terribly bad but wonderfully brilliant the special effects are. It’s interesting also what you learn about the background to the movie and the battle to get it going that I never knew before.
I love how just a few guys and a converted ambulance can take on the apocalyptic chaos that is unravelling above their cherished city, and win! That is the key thing that I wanted to convey in this piece, the enormity of what lies ahead, or above! As quirky and vibrant as the scene is there is something special in that, seeing ECTO 1 turning out of HQ and heading off out to save the day.
There is so much to see in this piece, some blatant by me not holding back, shackles well and truly removed and others much more subtle - have you spotted him yet? This piece just grew and grew the more time went on and I am so pleased with the result, incredibly challenging technically to piece together but so worthwhile. One of the last details to go in and a big decision for me was whether to include Mr Stay Puft and if so to what extent. Originally it was just going to be a tiny section to hint that he is there but in line with this piece being a no holds barred exercise and that fact that he is my Mum’s favourite character he is there in all of his glory. I tried so hard not to set him on fire, I really did!
I will never get bored of watching this film and I’m really intrigued as to the 2020 film that is coming, hopefully more authentic than the last one! I think on reflection, from thinking back to watching the film as a kid and remembering all of the toys that I and my brothers had that this really does come close to being my favourite of all past films. When I am asked what is my favourite film I have always said that it is impossible to choose but after being so engrossed in creating ‘Saving The Day’ I think... WE GOT ONE! -

- I have waited and waited years to do this sequel to my 2016 ‘Who You Gonna Call Now?’ piece and I absolutely bloody love it! This is me not holding back and attempting to capture everything that is great about the movie and to hopefully be a fan’s favourite.
What an absolute monster of a film and franchise Ghostbusters is, made even more so by the era that the first film was set within - I love how terribly bad but wonderfully brilliant the special effects are. It’s interesting also what you learn about the background to the movie and the battle to get it going that I never knew before.
I love how just a few guys and a converted ambulance can take on the apocalyptic chaos that is unravelling above their cherished city, and win! That is the key thing that I wanted to convey in this piece, the enormity of what lies ahead, or above! As quirky and vibrant as the scene is there is something special in that, seeing ECTO 1 turning out of HQ and heading off out to save the day.
There is so much to see in this piece, some blatant by me not holding back, shackles well and truly removed and others much more subtle - have you spotted him yet? This piece just grew and grew the more time went on and I am so pleased with the result, incredibly challenging technically to piece together but so worthwhile. One of the last details to go in and a big decision for me was whether to include Mr Stay Puft and if so to what extent. Originally it was just going to be a tiny section to hint that he is there but in line with this piece being a no holds barred exercise and that fact that he is my Mum’s favourite character he is there in all of his glory. I tried so hard not to set him on fire, I really did!
I will never get bored of watching this film and I’m really intrigued as to the 2020 film that is coming, hopefully more authentic than the last one! I think on reflection, from thinking back to watching the film as a kid and remembering all of the toys that I and my brothers had that this really does come close to being my favourite of all past films. When I am asked what is my favourite film I have always said that it is impossible to choose but after being so engrossed in creating ‘Saving The Day’ I think... WE GOT ONE! -
