The narrative surrounding the Black Pearl is fascinating, being burned and send to the sea bed before being resurrected and setting sail. The curse that surrounds the Pirates who turn to skeletons in the moonlight is another factor that I wanted to explore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aim was to create a scene that was blissfully still and tranquil yet showing a much darker side to it through the canons firing and the detail within the foreground. It is a case of creating a truly open-ended piece because of details included and things happening out of shot that will hopefully fuel the imagination of the viewer as to what has happened to Captain Jack Sparrow. Has he met his fate? The skeletal hand that rises out of the water towards the necklace has his jewelled ring, a simple case of taking treasure or much worse, could Jack have turned? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of Jack’s iconic quotes is ‘My Spirit Will Live On’ and I feel that it is perfect for this piece, as well as it visibly being a cool Pirate scene there is a deeper side for consideration - his silhouette forms part of the cliff looking out towards the ship and the sea, the spirit remains…\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eReleased: 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eCollection: Spellbound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 1AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eSpecification: Hand embellished, deckled deluxe limited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eImage Size: 37” x 24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eMounted Size: 44” x 32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eFramed Size (Approx): 47” x 35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eFree delivery to UK Mainland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"mailto:orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"email orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGet in touch\u003c\/a\u003e for overseas delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003ePlease allow approximately 14 days for delivery, should you need delivery sooner please let us know.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Davies British Artist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8995515498561,"sku":"","price":650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0711\/3537\/products\/MJD_POC_IO.jpg?v=1755269048"},{"product_id":"x-never-ever-marks-the-spot-indiana-jones-hand-embellished-deluxe-limited-edition","title":"X Never, Ever Marks The Spot!

Continuing on from my previous pieces inspired by the legendary franchise and embracing the iconic Delorean time machine what I have done is to create a very different scene that is inspired by one of the most memorable scenes from the first movie, the Enchantment Under The Sea dance that saw Marty’s parents-to-be get together for the first time with a little help from the main man himself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Delorean has featured in varying extents within all of my Back To The Future Pieces to date but I have always been keen to show it in it’s flying state. I wanted to create something very different however, to literally place the dance under the sea, why not?! I have created several pieces that are set underwater and have enjoyed the challenge to achieve that effect where the objects truly look like they are surrounded by water, I wanted to create a piece that looked really cool and nostalgic but that had a beautiful and magical quality to it, to ideally open the appeal of the image to a wider audience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat we see is the moment that the Delorean is rising up from the sea bed and heading up to the surface for air, what happens after this or what kick started it is open to interpretation, I’ve simply set the scene. Key details from the dance are positioned on the ocean floor with the glow of the lights in the distance hinting at a stage, there is a sense of movement from the shifting sands caused by the Delorean, exposing further details. Something that is always key for me is to unify the objects that exist within the scene, so that they aren’t just static, what I feel has worked really well is the introduction of the various sea life that interact with the detail and really add something lovely to the scene, as the classic line reads, this is one for all you lovers out there!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eReleased: 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eCollection: Spellbound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 1AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eSpecification: Hand embellished, deckled deluxe limited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eImage Size: 37” x 24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eMounted Size: 44” x 32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eFramed Size (Approx): 47” x 35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eFree delivery to UK Mainland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"mailto:orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"email orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGet in touch\u003c\/a\u003e for overseas delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003ePlease allow approximately 14 days for delivery, should you need delivery sooner please let us know.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Davies British Artist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8995564060737,"sku":"","price":650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0711\/3537\/products\/OA-Full_9cb02e00-3b4a-413e-9390-35184ce2f852.jpg?v=1586590215"},{"product_id":"gandalfs-brought-f-cking-cake-lord-of-the-rings-hand-embellished-deluxe-limited-edition","title":"Gandalf's Brought F*cking Cake!

When you are piecing together imagery that involves unifying a large number of individual objects a key challenge is to get the scale right or risk confusing or killing a piece. What was appealing here was that contrast between the norm and the world of the Hobbits, the fact that really detailed environments happened to be so much smaller and you would only know that this was the case when a character such as Gandalf came into shot. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy favourite character is Bilbo Baggins, I love the contrast between author and burglar! So, I have focused in on his world, his house and in this case, his 111th birthday, true to say he’s getting on a bit now, he may even be shrinking but it’s ok because Gandalf’s just turned up and he’s brought f*cking cake!’ This sets the tone for the piece, just good fun in a whimsical setting that embraces colour and light and has wonderful magical details that interact and hide amongst the scene. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI wanted to bring some normality into the surrealness of the narrative and characters, and the birthday cake does just that, maybe it is the message on the cake or the fact that it is of Bilbo’s favourite icons - Dobby (deliberate not a blooper on my part!) that brings everything back down to earth. It’s a feel-good piece that you can immerse yourself within and decide yourself what is happening through the open door.

I was aware of the enormity of the following that Harry Potter has and the protectiveness of that so I hope I have done it justice because I loved creating this piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eReleased: 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eCollection: Spellbound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eEdition Size: 10 + 1AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eSpecification: Hand embellished, deckled deluxe limited edition fine art print, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eImage Size: 37” x 24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eMounted Size: 44” x 32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eFramed Size (Approx): 47” x 35\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eFree delivery to UK Mainland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"mailto:orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"email orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGet in touch\u003c\/a\u003e for overseas delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003ePlease allow approximately 14 days for delivery, should you need delivery sooner please let us know.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Davies British Artist","offers":[{"title":"Hand Embellished Floated Deckled Print Only","offer_id":9003187568705,"sku":"","price":520.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Float Framed - Black","offer_id":9003187601473,"sku":"","price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Float Framed - White","offer_id":9003187634241,"sku":"","price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0711\/3537\/products\/MJD_HP_IO.jpg?v=1527616484"},{"product_id":"anythings-possible-moulin-rouge-canvas-limited-edition","title":"Anything's Possible (Harry Potter) - Canvas Limited Edition","description":"\u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab1\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--Start tab content--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab1\"\u003eThe intention for this piece was to create a true visual feast for the fans of Harry Potter and to do something very different to my 2017 ‘Draco Dormiens’ that was all about Hogwarts Castle rather than being dominated by references.

I spend considerable time looking into the filming locations for The Lord of the Rings and there were two front runners - the Mararoa River and the enchanting Fangorn Forest, both in New Zealand. My 2017 piece entitled ‘Gandalf’s Brought F*cking Cake!’ was really vibrant and quirky and for this current installment I wanted to do something completely beautiful in contrast to the other two bold and brutal pieces of this collection. From those who have studied my portfolio you will see a good number of horses featured and you will be forgiven to think that I am a keen rider yet no, no chance! However, I find them incredibly powerful and mysterious and perfectly fitting for this scene where we see Gandalf’s horse ‘Shadowfax’ galloping through the trees towards you. This was always going to be a piece that wasn’t crammed full of references instead using the intensity of the forest and scenery to draw you in. There are subtle details that stop you in your tracks and changes things completely, again showing how darkness can reside in such close proximity to the light. Key characters feature within the piece, some more blatant than others but a powerful addition to my work as they make strong eye contact with you which I love. The longer you study this piece you will hopefully see the relevance to the title and apt saying that ‘Not all those who wander are lost’, a classic example of how my work can take on a new dimension from a secondary, more personal narrative that is woven into the concept. I will leave it to you to interpret what you see how you wish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eReleased: 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eCollection: Spellbound\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eSpecification: 1 of 1 original framed embellished canvas, hand signed by artist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eImage Size: 48” x 36\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eFramed Size (Approx): 54” x 41\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"mailto:orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" title=\"email orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGet in touch\u003c\/a\u003e for overseas delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable for immediate despatch!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Davies British Artist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31717066539073,"sku":"","price":4250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0711\/3537\/products\/LOR-Original-Hero.jpg?v=1587194091"},{"product_id":"custom-framed-my-spirit-will-live-on-pirates-of-the-caribbean-hand-embellished-standard-limited-edition-18-25","title":"Custom Framed My Spirit Will Live On (Pirates Of The Caribbean) - Hand Embellished Standard Limited Edition - #18\/25","description":"\u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"active\" href=\"#tab1\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--Start tab content--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\" id=\"tab1\"\u003eThis is my interpretation of The Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl entitled ‘My Spirit Will Live On’. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy intention has always been to follow up on the 2016 Goonies piece ‘Hey You Guuuys’ and to create something that complements and contrasts, to showcase the enchantment of the pirate ship but in a different way.

In 2017 and as part of my ‘Spellbound’ collection, I created a striking interpretation of the unbelievably popular beast that is Harry Potter entitled ‘Draco Dormiens’ a shortened version of the Hogwarts motto ‘Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus’ (Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon). My aim for that piece was to focus on a dominant icon from the narrative and put my twist to it, rather than trying to inject a deeper, more surreal narrative that could possibly be missed or offend the die-hard lovers of the franchise! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe imposing Hogwarts Castle and the magic that is contained within its stone walls offered the perfect opportunity to create something immensely striking. The building is incredible, monumental in fact, and by changing the perspective of the scene it amplified this to a great effect. and through building snowcapped mountains into the background, it positions the castle much higher than it possibly could be and further adds to the majestic qualities of the setting and remoteness of the castle. I was aware of the enormity of the following that Harry Potter has and the protectiveness of that, so I was blown away with the reaction to the piece back then. I still remember the launch show when the original was unveiled from beneath a white sheet. Instantly a collector hurled their credit card towards the canvas, marking it as sold! A moment that caught me and everyone in the gallery by surprise, but one that I hold fondly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is so much potential to explore (but not exploit) the wonders of Hogwarts, and I have another piece simmering in my mind after creating this latest version, that really will be something! However, for now I wanted to simply revisit the original image and introduce a different look and feel to it, giving it more drama and intrigue. The first image was raw and cold, gritty and with a strong contrast across a largely monotone palette, it just worked so well! I had previously created a commissioned piece that set the castle at night, and I loved the effect of that. Parts of that scene I intend to amplify in a future iteration, but it was the nighttime sky that I have always since felt could be expanded upon, so I have done exactly that here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece has a really strong contrast between darkness and light; a dramatic moonlit sky sets the backdrop for the vivid magic to play out and fight the evil that finds cover in the darkness to creep up on the castle and those who reside within. When you revisit a previous piece with a new agenda, it allows you to calmly review the details from before and set about focusing on the tiniest of details such as contrasting colours and textures that many may miss but they end up combining to play a significant part in creating a special image. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce completed, it just needed a title. I never like to simply pluck one for the sake of it from iconic quotes and I did initially get stumped with what to go for until it clicked. This piece is an expansion of the original, so I have done the same with the title -‘Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus’. I hope you love what I have done with this new iteration, the colours really give it a special quality that looks amazing in both canvas or paper formats, and if you plump for a hand embellished option that so many of you do, it makes the image even more magical!\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eReleased: 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eCollection: Spellbound\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eEdition Size: 20+5AP\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eSpecification: Hand embellished heavyweight artist canvas, double framed, hand signed by artist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eImage Size: 36” x 27\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003eFramed Size (Approx): 41.5” x 32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" href=\"mailto:orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" title=\"email orders@markdaviesbritishartist.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGet in touch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e for overseas delivery\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli type=\"disc\"\u003ePlease allow approximately 14 days for delivery, should you need delivery sooner please let us know.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Davies British Artist","offers":[{"title":"Hand Embellished Artist Proof","offer_id":55481990283640,"sku":null,"price":1395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Printers Proof","offer_id":55481990316408,"sku":null,"price":1395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hand Embellished Edition","offer_id":55481990349176,"sku":null,"price":1395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0711\/3537\/files\/DD26-Full.jpg?v=1772205331"},{"product_id":"expecto-patronum-harry-potter-large-limited-edition","title":"Expecto Patronum (Harry Potter) - Large Limited Edition","description":"\u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab1\" class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003eDelivery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--Start tab content--\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eI am proud to get 2026 off to a powerful start with my first release of the year entitled ‘Expecto Patronum’, a beautiful interpretation from within the spellbinding world of Harry Potter.
