Remastered Original Works
A bold and intense collection of work that showcases iconic music album covers remastered by Mark Davies
I am taking something that exists and is well loved but making it better, adding ambience, detail and emotion. You’re not trying to change things to the point of distorting or losing what people love about the iconic covers but simply amplifying the original works. I’m doing exactly what a producer would do when they revisit a classic and evaluate what works and why and what can be built on and brought up-to-date. Exploring an emotion that may not have been visible on what we recognise today but could very well be there under the surface, away from the spotlight.
I Gotta Get Out (Meatloaf) - Original
£3,750.00
- The intention here was simply to make everything more explosive and dramatic, through increasing the speed that the motorbike and rider shoot out from the ground and adding more dramatic fire detailing. The cemetery backdrop is even more jagged and intense while the huge bat gives off a greater sense of movement and intensity.

Amy (Amy Winehouse) - Original
- My aspirations for this piece were to soften her overall look through the blurred techniques that I use so I could amplify the fragility of her as a woman, surrounded by the darkness and chaos of the industry and her lifestyle and her demons that surrounded her whilst reinforcing that she was just a woman in need of help. I have used the cracking textures to depict her being broken and continuing to break, subtle but powerful - a detail that will flow through the body of work just like it does through the industry.

Am I Happy Or In Misery? (Jimi Hendrix) - Original
- Jimi’s presence and confidence shine within the original album artwork so this was a great base to work from, yet with this piece I wanted to hint at a softer, more fragile side where he is slightly more dazed in the eyes - either because of toxins or torment. As shown in Amy’s facial detail you will notice that Jimi’s skin is cracking and starting to break up - again something that is quite powerful even more so because he is no longer with us. The colours of the original image have always caught my eye so I have gone for it with this piece to allow for an even more dramatic and ‘cool’ piece that will allow for dramatic embellishing. Another element that I have pushed is the ambience from the original scene, building on the smoke and flame detailing - the smoke more so really does help to portray the intensity of that era working in conjunction with the cracked and blistering background detailing that suggests a darker side.

Yesterday's Gone (Fleetwood Mac) - Original
- My reworking of the acclaimed ‘Rumours’ album by Fleetwood Mac that enhances the darkness that surrounded the band yet focuses on the connection between the members.

Let Me Guide You (Prince) - Original
- My interpretation of the classic album cover of Purple Rain by Prince. Square in composition to mimic the cover artwork it is an abstract take on the iconic image of Prince sat on his motorbike surrounded by smoke and shadows. This style is a continuation of the silhouette style that I have built up and is a combination of abstract markings, smoke, bokeh and musical staves and notes. The aim being to create something abstract and engaging with intense colours and that is big on detail with the aim of doing justice to such an iconic artist.

True Blue (Madonna) - Original
- My portrait piece shows Madonna in a lighter fashion, inspired from her True Blue album. The image is so striking through her expression, the tight crop leaves you to decide exactly what is going on out of view but one that you could imagine she is in her element. The aim was to create something that amplifies the original image and is really beautiful and sexy, the overriding aim for both pieces really, depending on what floats your boat!
