The Time Of My Life (Dirty Dancing) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
- This is a really beautiful piece and the idea was to do something very different to get a balanced collection. It’s inspired by the concept of the character coming back to reminisce about the memories that they have from that particular moment. The piece totally changed with the fact that one of the key actors, Patrick Swayze passed away several years back so that took the piece to somewhere completely different.
For me it was always going to be about ‘the lift’, it was always such an iconic moment from the film and such a beautiful image and that could have been the piece itself, to focus purely on that but I wanted to do something different so it ended up being just a small part of the image but a massive part of it.
So, what you see is the point when Johnny and Baby have gone down to the lake to practice, you see his car just in the shadows of the forest, any way I can shoehorn a car into a scene and there’s something really cool about it just poking out. There’s a dark element to the film in small places which I feel is why the woodland works really nicely in complete contrast to the beautiful, dramatic piercing light that is coming through. Once you know the underlying concept with what I have tried to do with this piece I feel it makes what the light represents even more powerful. The subtle details of the falling feathers and the dove makes it really pretty.
The movie is really quirky and the great thing from watching the film and making notes is you are writing down all of these lines that may be really small details but you try and bring them into the piece in quite a big way, so, for example the hen! That was given as a prize at Kellerman’s and it may have just been on screen for a split second but then becomes a prominent part of the image and leaves you trying to decipher what the hell it is doing there!
There is a lot to seek out, it was one where the overriding impact of the setting and having that lovely recognition for such an iconic actor’s passing has resulted in a truly wonderful piece. Hopefully many can find comfort in the sentiment when we think back to when things where very different and relive a special moment, amplifying all of those memories.

The Wolf Within - Large Limited Edition
£545.00
- This is a very, very dark piece, akin to my 2015 piece entitled ‘Red Light Spells Danger’ that doesn’t shy away from the brutality of the undertow that runs through the original versions of Little Red Riding Hood and all that inspired the original tale.
This piece is more conceptual, it embraces the concept of dominance, sex and love from the original narratives but in a much more modern fashion. It explores the boundaries, the blurred lines that exist when things can go too far yet those actions are blinded by love.This scene opens the door to bedroom that represents a couple who have an incredibly toxic, love hate relationship where each battles for control. The more you look, the darker it gets, possibly more confusing which is exactly the mindset of those who hold the pen there. When does confidence become bullying? When does sex become something much more damaging? Who is the real monster here?
Scrawled messages play out their taunts, spitting fire with every word. These words stain the heart, seeping deep under the surface. The cluttered room represents their minds and their emotions, look how genuine aggression comes to rest so closely to objects of genuine affection and innocence, is all hope not lost? There is beauty amongst the chaos, there is good within the toxicity, there is love, so much love.
This is a classic example of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Who or what is hiding in the closet and for what reason?

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.

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.

There’s No Such Thing As Monsters (Moby Dick) - Large Limited Edition 1AP - SAVE £200
-
The whale is portrayed as a monster and appears in top ten sea monsters of all time all over the internet. Was he actually a monster or was he simply provoked for years on end? Who is hunting who here? They say that everyone, no matter how placid has a breaking point and my interpretation looks at the story from this angle. Angry seas, boats caught in the monsters jaws saturate any image search - I have kept well away from that and pushed to portray a scene of devastation, of sheer terror, in a beautiful light that is the complete opposite yet ultimately showing the same result.
I have chosen a calm, serene seascape to truly demonstrate the environment where the whale should swim free, not be hunted. Something so huge and powerful doesn’t need to wage war, a simple flick of its’ huge tail and it’s done. There is something much more powerful to see such a huge creature slip beneath the surface like this rather than a backward leap and crashing down, it’s what is underneath, what you can’t see that is ultimately more dangerous, more powerful.
My portrayal of the whale is one of beauty and peace. I have created the tail in a way that actually looks like a dove about to fly away towards the light. There’s no better way to symbolise peace and being set free than this and it fits perfectly with may concept that the whale can finally swim freely now that those that hunted it obsessively lay beneath him. If you look closely you can see subtle feather details, creating a tail within a tail.
My aim is that you see a beautiful scene before you are fixated with what has just happened and the untold destruction that has occurred.The whale is finally shown in it’s true light. A solitary oar from the Pequods’ hunting boat floats in the water, opposite a single broken piece from the boat, a part of its’ mast as there is a Spanish Doubloon nailed to it, with an oily hand print where one tried to make a final grab for their reward, Captain Ahab is also inscribed on the wood. A torn section of rope just about keeps itself above the surface, torn from the harpoon that proved so futile. In the foreground there is a message in a bottle, written by Ishmael. Written in hope that his tales will be found one day, almost accepting his fate, tragic but beautiful.
Another so called monster heads into view, a shark, again - who’s killing who? In contrast and in keeping with my love for good vs evil, dolphins swim the opposing direction, head on so as to symbolise the battle between good and ‘evil’. Ultimately I have strived to create something that is beautiful and serene, with intensity but yet with remoteness, a positive message that comes from a scene of complete and utter devastation.
