This Ain’t No Date (Pulp Fiction) - Standard Limited Edition
£395.00
- This is set within the iconic ‘Jack Rabbit Slims’ diner, I’ve wanted to do this kind of piece for a good while now and it was actually planned to be in the last collection, ‘Lost In Hollywood 2’ but I couldn’t find the reference image that I wanted to base it on. I was so desperate to do a ‘Pulp Fiction’ scene-based piece that I just took the decision to create the scene entirely from scratch and make my own interpretation of the diner, not an easy task!
The piece is with the concept that things didn’t quite go as planned and that’s the thing with this film, it’s absolute pure brilliance that things happen on pure chance and it’s so close to things occurring in a different way and that’s what’s played out here. They didn’t win the dance contest, that’s what Mia wanted to do, she wanted to dance, she wanted to win, and she wanted that trophy and it’s showing the brutality of the film but in a quirky way. There are so many iconic quotes within the film that sometimes you forget the extreme nature of what’s going on with the plot, the weapons and the gangster element to it.
So, it’s a scene of complete destruction that’s glossed over with the ‘bubble-gum’ feeling with the neon’s and the quirkiness of it and it’s playing on the line from Vincent Vega who described the diner as a ‘wax works with a pulse’. That’s what I’ve done here when you see Marilyn that is so lifelike but is actually a wax work and that is leaving clues to certain suggestions that things have been hidden and for you to work out.
It’s just been great to inject so many references and to finally see that piece played out as I had hoped for so long, I’ve absolutely loved it. I remember years back at College doing a project where we had to try and understand Tarantino’s mindset and way of filming and after so long (I must have been 18) to come back and do this piece and see how it has turned out in my style and my way of thinking I’m over the moon with it and loved every minute of it!

'Freddy's Coming For You!' - Freddy Krueger Claw Statement Piece
£795.00
-
Gepetto he is not, but this carved wooden plinth displays the stuff of nightmares!
This intoxicating piece is the first offering to sit within his 'Against The Grain' series, a body of work that will grow over time and represents Mark's intention to continue to do things differently. Mark has built up an incredible reputation for the level of craft that shines through his unique frames, and it is these details that you now see in this piece.
Everything about this is unique, from Mark hand selecting the piece of Elm at a local timber mill through to carving the claw marks that are soaked in blood red resin. No two will, or can be the same. What starts with a beautiful (and innocent!) piece of Elm, is then stained, blackened, bashed and burnt. The haunting Freddy Claw glove has it's metal blades set into the blood resin channels and is then subjected to the same level of customisation as the plinth.
Limited to what will be just 20 original variations and priced incredibly well considering the level of craftsmanship and hours needed to create each piece. This is something that needs to be seen close up to be truly appreciated, but how close do you dare get to that glove?!

'Grab Your Stick!' - Proton Wand Statement Piece
£995.00
-
Now this is for the true obsessive GB fans! Whether you call it a Particle Thrower, Proton Blaster, Proton Gun, Positron Collider, Neutrona Wand, or Proton Wand, the result is the same! This piece looks like it’s been in a real battle and got slimed and fried AF!
I’m always striving to mix things up and look at ways of introducing my art in new formats and connecting with my collectors. Halloween 2022 saw me release something very different, and bloody dark! My Nightmare on Elm Street Claw plinth was the first piece that I have done that broke away from the traditional print editions and I loved every moment of it, and it has been so well received. It was a signal of my intentions to keep pushing and to deliver pieces that were true to my style but working with movie props to create something unique and special, whilst remaining true to my style of work. The aim was to offer a supporting piece that would complement a traditional print edition.So, my ‘RETROPLASM’ series has given me the opportunity to build on this and do something much less dark, although I couldn’t resist getting the blow torch out! ‘Grab Your Stick’ has transformed one of the coolest movie props that there has even been and made it, well I guess, funkier, and that’s before you turn the lights off – yep, the resin base glows in the dark whilst the neon paint also comes alive under lairy coloured light.
You are free to grab your stick, flick the switches and fire the sucker up! It will slam you right back to your childhood, just don’t cross the streams! Why not? Put simply, coz it’s bad, very bad! If you’re fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing, then maybe this will help. Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Oh, but don’t stress too much, batteries are included!
