Great Scott! (Back to the Future) - Standard Limited Edition
- Continuing my love affair with the epic ‘Back to the Future’ movies, I am so excited to reveal my latest instalment, ‘Great Scott!’ available in a cracking range of formats.
To coincide with an event where I was lucky enough to rock up to an earlier artist appearance in a bloody Delorean, this brand-new image has been created to have a similar composition as my 2025 ‘Star Wars’ ‘Among the Clouds’ piece that had the composition that mimicked a dramatic movie poster.
Expanding on this I went one step further this year and created a Hollywood billboard edition that has the effect of an aged poster that is then hand-embellished and floated within a dramatic custom frame, it works beautifully! I didn’t stop there though! The scene has then also been brought to life through a stunning 3-way flip lenticular edition that, along with its hand painted frame looks ridiculous!
There is such a wealth of references to draw from across the three films that always allow for intense and engaging scenes that are created for you to seek out the details. There would have to be a strong reason not to feature the Delorean, just look at it, from every angle it just screams nostalgia and awesomeness! For ‘Great Scott’ to work in a portrait format, it would need to involve two key areas of interest with each having a lot going on, that worked in isolation as well as one.
I have always loved the iconic line from the movie, "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads" and have built everything around this. A dramatic road cuts through the desert as a storm sweeps in towards the time machine that is parked up in spectacular fashion, with doors open that resemble a bird set to take flight. I absolutely love how this section has played out, the colours, the drama, the subtle random chicken fleeing from the approaching Coyote, whilst the parked vehicles further build on the links to my celebrated ‘Petrolheads’ image.
The thunderclouds above then allow for the key characters from the movie to be featured, naturally Marty and Doc take the lead focus, but everyone plays their part, even the ‘Clock tower lady’! I am so pleased with how the lightning detail has worked out, whilst the very top section that features planet Vulcan and the flying train really add to the drama of the scene. You know I obsess over my use of colour within my art, and this piece has such a bold palette, it looks insane in all formats!
I absolutely love what I do, to earn a living by reliving my childhood memories and reconnecting so many people with theirs is just brilliant, I am incredibly lucky and privileged to have such a cracking and loyal set of collectors that keep me so busy and inspired. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!.I hope you are as excited with this new piece as I am, it is unique for sure! OUTAIDEAS? No chance! Your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has.
Your future is whatever you make it. So, make it a good one.

A global collector base has seen hundreds of original works sold, making him a respected and successful artist within the contemporary art world.
Mixed Media British Artist Mark Davies was born in Bedfordshire in 1978 and studied Fine Art within the region with his early works being inspired by the compositional qualities of Piero Della Francesca and Giuseppe Arcimboldo whilst finding inspiration in the surrealism of Salvador Dali. Now living in St Neots Mark works full-time as a professional artist as part of the MD Studios set up from his beautiful, converted brick barn studio within the Cambridgeshire countryside.
Mark’s signature ‘Storyteller’ and 'Lost in Hollywood' collections showcase his ability to conceive and implement his own narrative to cherished fairy tales, classic fictional stories, and iconic movies to stunning effect. Inspired by the eloquence of Hans Christian Andersen and ingenuity of the Grimm Brothers, a whole host of much-loved stories have been turned on their head with each chapter being re-written as Mark embraces the often much more sinister plot and motives of the original authors that most don’t know exists as these classics are re-told to generation after generation.
As well as creating mesmerizing imagery full of detail there has always been a subtle and genuine moral quality to the work created to make you think a little deeper. Mark’s original works have created such a wonderful interaction between artist and audience as each searches out the detail and pieces together the plot with the hope that they can get an insight into Mark’s thinking whilst being encouraged to offer their own interpretation of what they see or often don’t see within the image. This genuine engagement has played a significant part in Mark’s gallery shows and appearances being so successful and truly special events.
As the body of work has grown so has Mark’s reputation for creating art with genuine meaning, art that stands on its own and that is driven by a fascinating multi-layered narrative like no other. His skill of storytelling has expanded across other areas including stage and screen as he delivers his signature style across a broad range of subjects and genres that continue to pull on the heart strings and embrace nostalgia and the memories that we all hold so fondly. In addition to building a solid gallery presence, Mark’s success has seen his work proudly displayed and selling within iconic venues that include the London Playhouse and Fortune Theatre within the iconic West End along with the highly respected Mall Galleries in London.
2023 has been another incredible year for Mark as his career continues to evolve. Most noticeably has seen the creation of 'The Hive' - a stunning creative gallery space within his studio that now proudly displays his artwork in a striking and engaging environment that allows his collectors to get up close to a diverse range of artworks. In addition to this, Mark's presence in America has strengthened as the result of a wonderful charity event that saw him create a special original piece that sold for more than $16,000, raising much needed funds and awareness in the fight against Alzheimer's.
With an incredible work ethic and a genuine respect and appreciation for his collectors, combined with a solid platform that the MD Studios brand offers, the future continues to look exciting for Mark. A growing list of celebrity clients and commercial projects along with an established gallery presence has led to Mark being a highly collectable and hugely respected British artist.
