Lost In Hollywood 5 Limited Editions
We don't need to tell you how much of a big deal Mark's movie inspired pieces are, it's been quite a journey since the first collection dropped back in 2016.
Lost in Hollywood 5 comprises of six brand-new pieces that include a real mix of subjects to suit a wide range of tastes. A truly epic battle scene is a must for Star Wars fans whilst an intense Batman image inspired by ‘The Dark Knight’ is going to be a real collector's item! The cherished Pretty Woman movie has been depicted in a way that only Mark knows how, beautiful, and cool. A movie that Mark has wanted to do for years, Titanic has been created in a truly wonderful VHS format. For all the gangsters, Scarface has been designed to mirror his ‘Vendetta’ (Godfather) piece, whilst finally, the only film from the Back to the Future franchise that Mark has not done before, number 2 is a genuinely epic piece - no flux given!
I Want The Fairy-tale (Pretty Woman) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
- What a brilliant film ‘Pretty Woman’ is, so, so 80’s! With lines such as ‘I want the fairy-tale’ and ‘Cinda-fuckin-rella’ it was a must, oh and any chance to get an iconic car in and it’s got my attention. Like with other movies, this has been on my radar for several years and it is great to finally see it come to fruition. I have spoken before about how so many pieces have so many possible directions that you can take it in, and this is no different.
I love to research before making a start and it was interesting to learn that there was a much darker ending pencilled in that involved drugs which got me thinking. Basically, I drew parallels with a much earlier ‘Storyteller’ piece ‘High Ho’ where the Princess lost her Prince through her addictions, and I have no doubt that it would look insane but very dark. Bloody hell, I want to get straight onto that but all in good time! My fear was that when I first mentioned that ‘Pretty Woman’ was on the line-up that the majority would be hoping for a wonderfully romantic piece and would end up spitting their chocolate covered strawbos out in disgust! Big mistake, huge!
So, what we see is the stunning ‘Lotus’ parked up outside the beautiful hotel that are covered in the warmth of the setting sun. Key details from the film are laid out in the foreground for you to enjoy, whilst key moments from the movie are gently overlaid in the background. It is a really positive and cute piece that I really hope fans of the film will love, this is the one from this collection that I spend the most amount of time adjusting tones and colours to get the best effect and I am so pleased with the results, none more so probably than my production company who have gone through a forest worth of paper living with my diva-like obsessions with perfection.
The focus was to create a piece that would simply celebrate the narrative and the amazing chemistry between the characters and the lead actors who played them so genuinely. It is an image that I hope will make you feel great and enjoy seeing out the references that I have placed. Yet there is a subtle element that symbolises how someone can be set free and find their wings through finding who, or what they love. Have you spotted it? I loved re-watching the movie, albeit scribbling notes and telling others ‘yeah, I’m just watching the football with a few beers! I had to reign my plans in a bit though, I wanted to really get into the minds of the characters, to connect with that chemistry and emotion. So, the options were hiring a Lotus or seeking out a pair of those thigh-highs on eBay! For those who follow me waffling on social media you may have heard that I had to pull out of a Marathon recently with a foot injury! I walked into a door, honest!
I hope you enjoy a love affair with this piece and are happy ever after, for those dark-minded souls who want the fairy-tale, that is a chapter that will be written for sure, you know I’m fond of burning a rose petal or few! -

Attack on Echo Base (Star Wars) - Standard Limited Edition
£315.00
- When ‘Lost in Hollywood’ originally launched back in 2016, there was a piece entitled ‘Teach You I Will’ that was a striking depiction of Yoda, created in my signature silhouetted smoke style. I still remember the nerves that I had when taking on the monstrous entity that is ‘Star Wars’. I wanted to create something unique whilst being totally respectful of how adored the films and characters are. Over the past releases of my movie pieces, I have produced a select number of artworks that have been so well received. I would hope that it was largely down to being authentic to the narrative whilst offering something a little different.
‘Battled Passed’ was very subtle, even to the point where you could miss the key component that was camouflaged in the ferns. ‘Shifting Sands’ was again subtle but authentic, whilst starting to bring key details into view. My 2021 piece ‘Join Me’ was a big change, with the introduction, and dominance of lead characters. I am aware that some will always prefer the much less obvious interpretations and I completely get that, it’s great to mix things up though!
So, ‘Attack on Echo Base’ is well, I guess, a total attack on your memories, in a good way, I hope! My portfolio is crammed full of intense landscape driven pieces that showcase contrast in that moment in time. What you see is a baron, frozen landscape on planet ‘Hoth’ that is now bursting with action as good fights evil in a seemingly impossible battle to defend themselves and their base. The scene is dominated by the awesome AT-AT’s that are cutting through the battlefield, I absolutely loved these as a kid, great memories! I don’t think I ever had one as a toy, I had the Falcon!
My hopes for this image was to amplify everything, albeit with authenticity. Just look at how much is going on on land and in the sky above, carnage! It’s portraying a moment in time that I love, where a character can storm into view just for that moment before tearing off again. I’m sure I am not the only one to have been terrified of the Wampa! He definitely had to make an appearance, as did the brilliant Tauntauns that carry Luke and Han, although the latter appears twice, eh?! I will leave you to seek him out. Whilst I may have deviated from the original script, it has been for good reason, I just wanted to get so much in the scene, some blatant, others beautifully subtle.
I have such fond memories of watching ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ as a kid, what a movie! Before I take on a movie piece, I always watch the film and make notes. To sit there and watch this in High Definition was really something. I love seeing the reaction from my collectors to my movie inspired works, they certainly appear to pull on the heart strings and bring those memories flooding back. The whole experience of working on ‘Attack on Echo Base’ has been magnificent and I really hope you are blown away by the end results! I feel the force is strong in this one! -
