You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat - Standard Limited Edition
£315.00
- 'You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat’ is my interpretation of Speilberg’s classic horror film’ Jaws’. I wanted to approach it in a completely different way, embracing the ‘two sides to every story’ viewpoint. The piece is portrait to allow me to create depth in the ocean and to run inline with the classic movie poster. It is a completely different perspective to what I have done before, as you look up towards the surface. The boat is based on the ‘ORCA’ from the film, I even looked at the original plan drawings of the model to gauge proportions and shape.
So what we have is a classic scene that is relating to the narrative where the boat is on the hunt for Jaws, with yellow barrels of explosives cast overboard. Trails of blood mix with water from their attempts to lure the shark in. Here is where I take it to a different place, through the use of beautiful lighting, colour and detail I have made the bottom of the boat (the target) beautiful and intriguing to the shark, is it just intrigued and only able to communicate with its mouth?
A diesel spill runs downwards through the water creating another source of confusion and attraction to the shark. There is a rusted oil drum plummeting through the water just in front of the shark that has a subtle leak of toxics that escape and leave their mark.
So at this point is it purely intrigue that lures it to the surface and to the source? There then resides a darker layer as you notice the shadowed shark circling the boat from undeeath.
A subtle trail of blood infiltrates the water close by, suggesting something has been bitten or worse out of view. If you then look at the trail of diesel, there are a number of skeletal fish that swim amongst the toxic trail, killed by the shark, or killed by the real source of evil in the water? What is the actual stain on nature?
This angle then opens up the question that exists where people strongly believe that sharks are misunderstood and antagonised by human actions, possibly for ones own benefit where lies and scaremongering exist. When you look at it from this angle then the items in the water such as the barrels etc aren’t to lure off the shark but are a representation of mans’ wrong doing.

You're Safe Now (101 Dalmatians) - Original
- This piece shows the living room scene from when the dogs are safely back in their homes and the dark forces that are Cruella and her dognappers have been banished. The angle is set so it is viewed as if you are sat on a sofa within the room with the puppy looking right at you. To start with I kept but reworked the window in the room as this not only creates depth but represents hope, hope for change. By moving this to the right I have introduced an ornate door that not only adds character and grandure to the room but also further adds to the depth and also creates a point at which darkness can get in. This is inline with how dogs tend to fear front doors and those that come anywhere close to it.
In this instance the door is where the battle between dark and light, evil and innocence plays out, dark shadows loom behind the glass, is that Cruella returning or simply from a tree shadow cast from the opposing Greenwich Park? The dark forces that are finding their way in are ultimately over powered by good, it makes for a really dramatic detail to the piece and sets up the end point of the narrative. A grille on the wall is an extension of this, again representing areas within a room that a dog (or a child) would typically fear. The window is much lighter, still with hints of the darkness that hides behind the curtains but ultimately good, with a subtle white dove overseeing the home from outside. If you look closely you will see rain drops on the glass yet it is sunny outside, representing that the storm has passed and brighter times ahead.
The focal point of the piece is ‘Lucky’ the dalmatian puppy who is sitting watching the TV but turned to look at you for reassurance. The soot that they covered themselves in to escape their captors is surrounding him, subtle tear stains and a tear runs down his face, showing his fragility and the impact on what has happened previously. The light details that surround him signify protection, positivity and comfort. These protrude from the door and also more significantly the TV (there is something really lovely about the original film where the puppy is stood up at the screen). -

You’ll Sing Once More (The Sound Of Music) - Large Limited Edition
- The original film plot and my concept are all about hope and freedom through courage and faith, to embrace the smallest of things to find happiness and to rebel against restriction. The underlying concept in this piece is one that embraces all of this and shines light on a person’s hope that someone that they know and love can find freedom after restriction, be it in this life or their next. The title of the piece ‘You’ll Sing Once More’ is one that is like a silent statement that you would say that that person, one that you convey to them without the need for saying anything at all.
When this sentiment is conveyed I feel that it elevates this piece to a much higher state as the character in view takes on something so special to so many. I set about with the aim that this sense of freedom could touch many and in a number of ways, it can simply evoke that great feeling you get from being completely absorbed in music and free from reality, something that I embrace and need whilst creating my artworks.
This piece is an abstract take on the iconic Salzburg countryside with its mountainous backdrop and dandelion covered grasses, a number of textures have been created and integrated to form an engaging backdrop that has a painted quality to it that is full of movement and light. As with other pieces that I have created I have depicted the lead character as a spirit-like silhouette that is formed by sweeping lines that symbolise the staves from a line of music along with music notes and bokeh whilst subtle areas of the body have been blurred to give off the sense of movement and ultimately freedom.
In line with this sense of setting a spirit set free I wanted to portray time passing so rather than show the classic yellow dandelion flowers I have moved the season on to show them in their white seed headed state where they are taken up with the wind into the sky and interacting with the character.
This I hope strengthens this lovely sense of being free, the soul being released from the body and taken up to create something new and beautiful, maybe something that can only be seen just for that split second when the sunlight breaks through. A further reflection of this wonderful sense of freedom and flight is shown through the subtle butterflies that are attracted to the figure and to the freedom and good that radiates from it.

You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat (Jaws) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
-
‘You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat’ is my interpretation of Speilberg’s classic horror film’ Jaws’. I wanted to approach it in a completely different way, embracing the ‘two sides to every story’ viewpoint. The piece is portrait to allow me to create depth in the ocean and to run inline with the classic movie poster. It is a completely different perspective to what I have done before, as you look up towards the surface. The boat is based on the ‘ORCA’ from the film, I even looked at the original plan drawings of the model to gauge proportions and shape.
So what we have is a classic scene that is relating to the narrative where the boat is on the hunt for Jaws, with yellow barrels of explosives cast overboard. Trails of blood mix with water from their attempts to lure the shark in. Here is where I take it to a different place, through the use of beautiful lighting, colour and detail I have made the bottom of the boat (the target) beautiful and intriguing to the shark, is it just intrigued and only able to communicate with its mouth?
A diesel spill runs downwards through the water creating another source of confusion and attraction to the shark. There is a rusted oil drum plummeting through the water just in front of the shark that has a subtle leak of toxics that escape and leave their mark.
So at this point is it purely intrigue that lures it to the surface and to the source? There then resides a darker layer as you notice the shadowed shark circling the boat from undeeath.
A subtle trail of blood infiltrates the water close by, suggesting something has been bitten or worse out of view. If you then look at the trail of diesel, there are a number of skeletal fish that swim amongst the toxic trail, killed by the shark, or killed by the real source of evil in the water? What is the actual stain on nature?
This angle then opens up the question that exists where people strongly believe that sharks are misunderstood and antagonised by human actions, possibly for ones own benefit where lies and scaremongering exist. When you look at it from this angle then the items in the water such as the barrels etc aren’t to lure off the shark but are a representation of mans’ wrong doing.

‘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.

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!

‘Are You A God?’ (Ghostbusters) - Standard Limited Edition
£395.00
- 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!

‘Bring Me To Life' (Harry Potter) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,295.00
- The sheer brilliance of Harry Potter could see it fall within both my ‘Storyteller’ and ‘Lost in Hollywood’ collections, as can many other subjects as many start off in print. For me however, due to the incredible art of Storytelling by J.K Rowling, I have positioned this as a ‘Storyteller’ piece.
As I am celebrating and acknowledging a decade of creating art with meaning, I have spent a good time reflecting on past pieces, from 2014 and 2015 especially when so much of my work was deemed quite niche due to the complexity of the concept and meaning. Many were so obscure you may not have known of the story that it was born from. That was probably a good thing when I was commissioned at that time to create a piece on ‘50 Shades of Grey!’ It was a great period as so many were collector or gallery requests to simply take on a favourite book and interpret it how I saw fit. As an artist in my formative years and one that lacked confidence and direction, I was always humbled by this show of faith in me as a storyteller tasked with looking after their investment as well as a subject that often involved a deeply personal link.
A good number of these were based on Harry Potter, they included The Room of Requirement and Hogwarts and would often involve that choice between darkness and light. So, for 2024 I wanted to embrace this and go back to my roots as such whilst also hopefully demonstrating my progression from a technical perspective. It’s always a tricky one when you list out the subjects that you are going to be releasing as when collectors see a title, their minds start racing and that can be challenging when you know that you have taken something on that is not blatant and instead using the very essence of the story but in a way that means it can relate to many others who may not even know or care that it has links to the title. So, I am always very transparent with that. ‘Draco Dormiens’ and ‘Anything’s Possible’ are two very successful pieces that I have created in the past and both scream Harry Potter without needing to tackle the narrative. For ‘Bring Me To Life’ I wanted to make it all about the meaning.
What you see here is an image and its narrative inspired from a much earlier piece called ‘The Struggle Within’ which focused on the Mirror of Erised and the choices we make with the battle between dark and light. In addition to this I have also embraced the success of past pieces ‘Fight or Flight’ and ‘Lithium’ that each involved a cloaked figure that, along with the meaning, dominated the artwork, making the fairy tale simply become a subtle link. It was the cloaked figure that drew me in with my initial thinking for ‘Bring Me To Life’ as it creates so much intrigue and ability for people to relate for so many reasons. There was a clear link as I could then focus in on the Cloak of Invisibility.
However, I wanted more from this piece. If I had simply put a stationary cloaked figure stood in front of the mirror, it would have looked great but ultimately static. I wanted to push it and myself further and show the point where the reaction happened from when the figure looked into the mirror. That way there is more drama and emotion and a stronger link to the underlying narrative. You must push yourself as an artist and storyteller. So, what you see is almost ghostlike in appearance, it is haunting and creates a response. The cloak of Invisibility and the Mirror of Erised work in unison here through the meaning that drives this piece. What I have done is to depict someone who lacks confidence, self-belief, self-worth and direction and through wearing their cloak they feel or want to feel invisible to others. Sad but true.
Now here is where you take control, what do you see, or need to see? The mirror is meant to show you your deepest, most inner desires, but what do you see? Are we looking at the figure reacting in a positive or negative manner from what they are shown? That’s not for me to dictate. I have simply handed this over to become your artwork, your interpretation, your reason for connecting. Whichever you decide, the next step is the same – the figure has a decision to make, which way do they turn? You can see from the exploding glass shards that there is a reaction, a connection. What we do know is that the truth is there, like it or not. How can you see into my eyes like open doors? Because eyes are like mirrors or doors into one’s soul.
If you look through the exploding glass you will see that the forest awaits, hinting that regardless of which direction you choose to embark on, you are going on a journey. Personally, I absolutely adore this detail, see how the red detail links to the tiny red sections on the stained-glass windows? Look at the scrawled messaging on the walls and the floors if you please. It’s sad, so sad but still ultimately positive. The figure is at that point, looking for answers, for hope, whilst acknowledging where they are at that moment in their life. ‘Searching to find a love upon a higher level’ contrasts with ‘finding nothing but questions and devils’ suggests that they are truly lost and wanting to be found. ‘You are the life among the dead, bring me to life, save me from the nothing I’ve become’. Heart-breaking isn’t it, and sadly all too common. However, no one is ever truly alone, there is always hope and good souls to guide you.
Music drove this piece; it took it to a higher level. It battered me throughout, it haunts me now, I’m trying to type through tears. ‘Last Resort – Reimagined by Falling in Reverse is the song. In addition, ‘Bring me to life’ by Evanescence adds to the emotion within the image and its narrative.
I love how close darkness resides to light and the battles that play out between good and evil, it resonates, and runs amok through my art. Life is all about decision making right? So, you’ve seen what you wanted to see or feared you would see. What now? Which way? Look left and you’ll see the beauty of guidance and direction from those who you have loved and learned from. Look right and you see those who haunt you, who stalk you, those who ‘lie’ in wait for you, who prey on your vulnerability. Fuckers! You’re stronger than you think, braver than you realise, and despite what you may think, you are never, ever on your own!
