Where Demons Roam (Sleeping Beauty) - Standard Limited Edition
£315.00
- The concept for this piece plays on the fact that sleeping beauty was pricked and fell asleep at 16. Darker versions tell of the prince being obsessed by her and raping her whilst alseep which is pretty bad, not something I would reference but only adds to the intensity of the story. My concept is to portray a scene where a girl became a mother at a young age and subsequently life passed her by, effectively being asleep (there’s a reference to being fine before the little prick!). The baby reference is therefore used without any refernence to anything worse.
Detail within the piece outlines her state of mind and the battle with her demons. The battle between dark and light, good and bad battle it out within her four walls, being the thorns and the roses. The fact that the thorn exists so close to the petal on a rose is perfect and is why I use so frequently as I use it to symbolise the two sides to a person’s character and their personal battles.
She has regressed within her walls and herself, yet there are still subtle touches that depict beauty and serenity, yet so close to how she sees herself (the reason the mirror has been taken down from the wall and defaced).
Her scrawls on the walls, bed and mirror are based on lyrics by Arnor Dan (vocalist on ITVs Broadchurch and lead singer of Icelandic band Agent Fresco). The song in particular that inspired me with the concept for this piece is ‘Bemoan’ - it’s incredible and fitting, all about not wanting the bell of age to ring for him - to not be left behind and how his demons are so tall and so many that he cant see the white of walls. The lyrics are special.

Who You Gonna Call Now? (Ghostbusters) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
- I absolutely loved this film as a kid and still do, it is such a great film! For this piece I have tried to not try and go too conceptual, instead just set a scene that people can easily associate to the film and characters.
Basically we see the Ghostbusters HQ at the point where the business is done for and they’ve stopped trying to help the city that they love. As with the film, the good that they they were trying to do was a battle against those who didn’t believe, who wanted to shut them down so it has reached the point where enough is enough and they’ve caught their last ghost. They put their lives on the line from the start and this is the result, their attitude has turned to hate towards those who have brought them to this point so they are ready to undo all the good work that they’ve done, basically bollocks to NYC, have your ghosts back, deal with it yourselves, we’re out.
So my piece shows the impact of that, showing key objects from their work littered about the building in a state of neglect, the wonderfully iconic ECTO 1 sits partly obscured behind a wall, done this way to look almost insignificant despite it’s stature. Computers sit smashed, filing cabinets with drawers flung open, hints of a quick departure are there through the subtle signs of a welders torch left on, just enough time to open the trap and unleash the ghosts back into the city.
The ghosts themselves are represented by beautifully lit details that interact with key elements within the scene, in complete contrast to the evil that lurks from within the basement and that is spilling outwards up the stairs. I always remember the vivid colours from the Proton Packs and the ghosts so I wanted to embrace that through use of these colours throughout the piece that contrast against the sombre mood of the scene itself. The walls show feint signs of faded murals that add to the history and intrigue of the building, and the light spilling into the room as with other pieces represents hope and the possibility that maybe all is not lost.
For me the piece is a different yet clearly recognisable take on an absolute classic film that embraces the fact that the featured ghosts weren’t actually that scary, apart from the odd one, or two!

Why’d It Have To Be Snakes? (Indiana Jones) - Billboard Limited Edition
£995.00
- This piece has a three-fold narrative to it and was created to embrace everything that is great about the Indiana Jones films, the colour ways of the piece are there to reflect the movie branding as well as to help create a striking image on first look. Ultimately, the concept of this piece is to create a scene completely from scratch that epitomises the atmospheric scenes from the films, in this case a temple that opens to reveal a staircase that leads up to a landscape and scenario that we can’t quite see and isn’t clear as to whether what awaits is a beautiful sunset or an environment that burns. I wanted to create a sense of suspense, intrigue, and drama where you would be wary of what lies ahead, could the huge stone heads come to life, what hides within the twisted roots and is the sky actually on fire? The scene showcases a good number of iconic film references, some clearer than others, Indiana’s’ sword, hat and whip, his pistol are all there along with the golden idol, cherub from the Ark and the odd skull!
The secondary layer of narrative embraces the roll of good vs evil that plays out in so many of my pieces, beautiful lighting combines with black smoke and eerie shadows. The steps are key here, they represent the journey that one must make to overcome constraints and conquer their challenges and face their fears to reach that next stage. There is a sense of urgency in the piece, represented in the foreground where the ground is starting to fall away, exposing skeletons of the past. The journey is blocked by the snake to represent a significant obstacle that is there to stop you climbing up. The title of the piece was chosen to represent that acknowledgement that you need and want to start your journey but accept that your personal fears exist and will be there to confront and test you. The steps are flanked by candles, the left are all lit and there to guide your every step, the right are all blown out, signifying darkness, although 1 solitary flame burns there - representing the hope to see some good in the darkest of souls. The decision to move upwards and overcome the darkness has already started and is shown in the scene with the dove in flight watched by the solitary crow and the serpent. What lays ahead is unknown at this point.
Finally, the third layer is one that you might see straight off or go searching for clues (Archaeology) to clarify the inclusion of certain objects. What I have done is to create the composition of the scene so that it looks like you are watching the scene unfold from the front row of a movie theatre and that you’re so immersed in the movie that it becomes real, drawing you in to live the scene. The idea here is that it reaches out to people who find themselves in that position where they need to make changes for the better and set foot on that step. This movie concept is why there is a discarded drinks cup and popcorn within the scene, I wanted to add this layer so that it becomes a subtle nicety that evolves the piece from simply a cool landscape-based piece.
There are a lot of references within the piece and will leave you to find them, I had to place Indiana’s’ hat at the focal point of the piece, it would be wrong not to and with it teetering on the edge of falling only to be held by the weight of the pistol it adds to the drama and is an acknowledgement of when he comes so close to losing his hat, grabbing it at the last minute. Ultimately, I have striven to create something that challenged me technically and that is immersive and intriguing that will be embraced by fans of the movies and is as deep you want it to be.

X Never, Ever Marks The Spot! (Indiana Jones) - Hand Embellished Large Limited Edition
£650.00
- This is my interpretation of the 1980s classic film Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade entitled ‘‘X Never, Ever Marks the Spot!’ a classic quote taken from the film.
My aim for this piece was to simply embrace all that is brilliant about the movie and what has made it achieve iconic status for so many rather than trying to inject a deeper, more surreal narrative that could possibly be missed. So what we see is an engaging and dramatic scene that focuses on the temple and surrounding cliffs, so much detail from the film is there to be explored and enjoyed, some blatant, some requires a little more searching.
As with so many of my pieces you don’t get to see the characters, instead it is these objects and their positioning as well as other subtle detailing that creates an open-ended image that is designed to be interpreted however you see it playing out in your head, you pick up the pieces and run with it!
For me personally, I loved the battle between Indiana, his Father and the Germans with the tank and aircraft being key objects that always stood out so I have used these as the focal point. Something is definitely kicking off within the temple itself, look closely and you will see that the Zeppelin overhead that is exploding into flames looks to have been caught by something coming from the temple, forces are clearly at work here!
I loved the bond between Indiana and his father and how both of their attire are so well known, this plays a key part within the detail. The colours are vivid and intense and have been injected to really make this piece hit you right between the eyes and bring back some great memories! -

You Have No Power Over Me (Labyrinth) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
- This is my interpretation of the incredibly iconic Labyrinth that starred David Bowie, I bloody loved this film and have great memories of watching this as a kid at Christmas. I have wanted to tackle this classic for a good while, I chose not to in late 2016 for my previous Lost in Hollywood collection as I wanted enough time to elapse after Bowie passed and to be able to create a classy tribute to the legend whilst also doing the film itself justice.
I have chosen to focus on the surreal Jareth’s ball scene from the movie, the option to show within the maze itself was there but I wanted to do something much lighter, more classic. I set out wanting to create a beautiful, dream-like piece that is visually light but has dark forces working throughout the scene to mimic the qualities of the film that was unquestionably equally dark as it was bizarre.I constructed the scene from scratch, utilizing parts of images that I saw potential in that allowed me to build my ballroom to match what I had in my head, one that drew from the characteristics of the one shown in the film but to take it to where I wanted to go. The composition channels the eye through the scene and up and out to the top of the steps to a point where you use your imagination to decide what is through the forest. This perspective creates a sense of journey that was key to the narrative, culminating in thirteen steps to the staircase - a nod to the thirteen hours that Sarah had to defeat the Goblin King.
There are subtle references within the scene that are from the film or an interpretation of elements, I will leave you to find these. The darkness that runs throughout is represented not just by traces of blackened smoke but by the thorns that weave down stone balustrades and break through the walls. This creates a dramatic contrast to the whimsical ballroom whilst also showing a continuation to past pieces such as ‘Marry Me Bitch’ and ‘Where Demons Roam’. The lead focus to the piece and to the concept is the open cage that sits on the stone column. The owl is shown flying away which hints at the Goblin King being defeated at the thirteenth hour.This leads onto the underlying concept that I have introduced into this piece in that the cage represents Bowie’s disease that restricted him, the open door and the owl in flight symbolizes his passing and being free again. A single dove feather sits within the cage, you might expect this to be an owl feather but it is a dove to signify not being alone. I feel the owl in flight is a powerful image in itself but when you then look at it from this angle then it gives the piece a subtle and poignant quality where an iconic film, and genuine icon are have been respected.

This creates a dramatic contrast to the whimsical ballroom whilst also showing a continuation to past pieces such as ‘Marry Me Bitch’ and ‘Where Demons Roam’. The lead focus to the piece and to the concept is the open cage that sits on the stone column. The owl is shown flying away which hints at the Goblin King being defeated at the thirteenth hour.This leads onto the underlying concept that I have introduced into this piece in that the cage represents Bowie’s disease that restricted him, the open door and the owl in flight symbolizes his passing and being free again. A single dove feather sits within the cage, you might expect this to be an owl feather but it is a dove to signify not being alone. I feel the owl in flight is a powerful image in itself but when you then look at it from this angle then it gives the piece a subtle and poignant quality where an iconic film, and genuine icon are have been respected.
