Join Me (Return Of The Jedi) - Standard Limited Edition
£365.00
- ‘Join Me’ is a piece inspired by ‘Return Of the Jedi’ and the iconic fight scene between Vader and Luke and engineered by the Emperor. You can’t mess around with ‘Star Wars’, the pieces that I have done are becoming much more ‘blatant’ and each has it’s own quality but for this one I wanted to have fun. It’s such an incredible movie! There are amazing memories of ‘Star Wars’ growing up in the 80’s, I never pretend to be a die-hard, obsessive fan but these are memories that I hold and that make me smile, they are part of my childhood. My ability and skillset allows me to be able to take something that so many know and love and amplify it, making it even more spectacular and that is exactly what I have done.
It is dominated by the Emperors’ throne and the room around it, looking out to space. It was initially going to be a full on space scene and that will still happen but with the move to adding characters into the scene it just suited what you now see. I wanted to test myself technically, so the room and window that you see have all been created from scratch, it isn’t something that exists, it is my interpretation of what we know. It took an absolute age to create but it gives so much satisfaction to see it finished.
There are battles raging on in the distance, everything is amplified and more dramatic than it was. The biggest pull for me was the battle between dark and light and the push to cross over from either side, it is perfect for how my mindset works. You can see how both Vader and Luke don’t want to be doing what they are doing but then the sinister stare and power of the Emperor is just so intense, god that face brings back memories! I always loved the Emperor’s guards as a kid, like I said, I was never one to collect every single figure but I randomly remember the texture of their cloaks. Funny how things stick!
It all centres around the angles of the room as it all points towards the central dominant, controlling force of the Emperor who manipulates but ultimately who fails. There are some special details within the scene, it’s not a piece that I wanted to bugger around with, it has to be done with respect. I will leave you to spot the subtle touches but it was all about making everything more dramatic, more fire, more explosions, more electricity, more fun.
I loved every minute of working on this and I hope I have done it justice and it serves you well. -

The Memory Remains 2 - 1000 Piece Jigsaw
-
Well, well, well! Mark's first jigsaw puzzle! Another format that is just the perfect fit for the interactive qualities of his work.
Is there a better image to feature as Mark's first limited edition jigsaw puzzle than the highly sought after and long sold out 'The Memory Remains 2' from 2019? Feel free to tell us if you think there is because this is the first within a cracking collection in the future.
Mark's imagery are so often rammed full of detail and clues to solve that they are loved for how they bring people together to embrace their memories. Mark has always loved to set down clues within his art to help you try and determine the hidden narratives than exist, so creating an actual puzzle just seems the natural choice as we look to bring his work to a wider audience through exciting and engaging formats.
As with every element of his work, the focus has, and always will be on delivering quality, to best represent his art and retain that limited edition quality that is so well respected and successful.
So, we are excited to offer a beautifully vibrant limited edition, 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle that is proudly made in the UK by a leading specialist manufacturer who's sustainability efforts are a key quality of their business. The standard clear polybag the jigsaws come in is 100% recyclable, their millboard used for the actual jigsaws is 100% recycled, their ink is sourced in the UK and is vegan, and all their paper used in production is Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) paper sourced from FSC & PEFC sources.
Not bad eh! In addition to this, your jigsaw puzzle is strictly limited to 100 and comes with Mark's hand signed narrative card and certificate of authenticity. Should you wish for the box tray lid to be signed by Mark, this can be done by removing the protective shrink wrapping that each puzzle comes in.
100% quality, 100% enjoyment!
The first jigsaws will be arriving with us at the start of December and will be then available for either collection or delivery.
