Another colloboration with Bottleneck Gallery and this time an officially licensed set of prints for Marvel Studio's Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1.
There have been so many awesome prints produced for this film but none captured the magic of that opening with Starlord entering the temple and dancing to Redbone's 'Come and Get your Love'. Hidden in the back of the piece in rock sculptures are the rest of the Guardians. Volume 2 piece to come!
APs will be available in my shop at a later date.
Officially licensed by Lucasfilm and released through Bottleneck Gallery New York (SOLD OUT but Arist Proofs coming soon)
Officially licensed Dune Part 1 poster released through Bottleneck Gallery New York.
“A great man doesn’t seek to lead, he is called to it”
This is a digital painting (170+ hours of painting from sketch to final) of Paul Atreides on his homeworld of Caladan prior to the migration of House Atreides to Arrakis. I loved this moment in IMAX and wanted to capture the weight of duty that Paul feels as the successor his families empire. The theme of solitude and isolation ever-present in my work continues….
The companion piece “My road leads into the desert” will be released later in the year through Bottleneck.
‘The Wallace house’
Was delighted to be featured in the official Halloween Artbook this year. There are so many iconic Halloween posters that I tried to use ‘the Shape’ in a way that hadn’t been leaned into too hard and the idea of the Shape being a shadow on the wall of the infamous Wallace house felt right.
Limited edition prints on sale from Friday 7th October at 12pm EST/5pm GMT.
“I have crossed oceans of time to find you”
Bram Stoker’s Dracula illustration for AMP’s 30x30 show this year celebrating all of the films of 1992.
I chose to do this in the style of an artist around the turn of the last century and Alphonse Mucha was the first that jumped out at me. I studied an awful lot of Mucha compositions and based this around a few in particular. I wanted to focus on the romance of the film as opposed to the horror.
Below you have ‘Vlad the Impaler’ and a map of London and then the roses from Lucy’s garden where much of the seduction in the film takes place and the old Count and Vlad up top.
Available to purchase for a LIMITED TIME ONLY between Monday 22nd September and Sunday 2nd October (ending at midnight) from AMP Website (SOLD OUT).

Available to purchase from Acme Archives here.
‘The Dude’ and ‘The Dustgruntled Dude’ created for Hero Complex Gallery’s ‘Spectacles’ show. I was delighted to be invited to my first show with HCG and the idea of painting the Dude came to me pretty early in roughing out concepts.
Painted entirely in Photoshop CC with a Wacom Intuous I was aiming for a McGinnis/Rockwell style painting of the great man and used a lot of traditional brushes in trying to achieve that goal.
Available to purchase through Hero Complex Gallery at links below:
‘Bill’s Basement’ inspired by The Silence of the Lambs for Gallery 1988’s ‘30 Years Later’ show in January 2020.
I wanted to capture a multitude of moments in one wide shot from Clarice’s terrifying descent deeper and deeper into Buffalo Bill (aka Jame Gumb)’s basement. You can see the wooden beams around the pit where Bill is keeping Catherine Martin and the ‘sewing room’ where Bill keeps his trophy newspaper cuttings and mannequins.
The original and night vision variant are available to purchase directly from Gallery 1988 in links below:
Personal work. Painted in PS CC with a Wacom Intous Pro.
Private commission commemorating the 25th Anniversary of The X-Files. The image features over 25 references to 25 different episodes of the show.
Painted using Procreate on the iPad Pro and Photoshop CC with a Wacom Intous Pro on iMac 5k taking between 120-150 hours to complete from referencing, sketching, painting and final detailing.
This is a private commission and is currently not for sale.
The second in my series of ‘Quieter moments’ in the Indiana Jones Trilogy (don’t @ me) is Indy and Shortround playing cards above the village they first discover that the Sankara stones are missing.
This scene takes place in the jungle on the way to Pankot Palace but I liked the idea of the night sky and the solitude that pulls focus on to this buddy moment.
Painted by hand in Procreate over 30 hours on an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.
‘Mourning Marion’
One of the most quietly striking scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark has always been one of my favourite Spielberg shots and what started out as a colour study to get myself painting one day developed into a ‘whole hog’ painting.
Painted in Procreate (about 10 hours) with an Apple Pencil and iPad Pro starting out with a detailed under-drawing and then painted using gouache brushes. Brought into Photoshop CC at the end for some minor adjustments.
'Every piece of me'
An alternative poster for Paul Thomas Anderon's latest film, Phantom Thread, focuses on Alma (played by Vicky Krieps) as muse to Reynolds Woodcock (played by Daniel Day-Lewis). I set out to capture the sacrifice she makes in giving herself entirely to Reynold's art and felt a human/mannequin hybrid captured this notion perfectly. The piece will make a little more sense once you've seen the film but suffice to say that the mushrooms aren't just purely for decoration here.
Sketched in Procreate on an iPad Pro and then painted in Photoshop CC with a Wacom Intuos using Kyle T Webster's 'oil silk' brushes amongst others (you can get Kyle's brushes as part of the CC package now).
'Remember Me' Alternative poster
In my opinion, Michel Gondry's film is one of the great romantic films of the 21st century. Bold and beautifully inventive, Gondry creates a beautiful world of memories inside the mind of the heartbroken, Joel (Jim Carrey).
I wanted to create a piece that evoked the frantic nature of Lacuna Inc.'s attempts to wipe Clementine (Kate Winslet) from Joel's mind. By allowing for some negative space in the left side of his brain to represent something blank and hidden from other memories - I wanted to highlight the scramble by Joel to hide Clementine somewhere safe so that he might remember her when he wakes up.
Sketched in pencils and then scanned into Photoshop, I wanted something loose and colourful for the memories so I used watercolour (Kyle T Webster's wonderful watercolour brush set) to contrast the monotone of Joel's face.
Available to BUY HERE.
‘Hope starts with her’
Personal piece on the release of Captain Marvel. All the artwork in the build up to the movie seemed to focus solely on Carol Danvers’ Captain Marvel Suit. I wanted to capture her as a god - heavily inspired by the intrigue and mystery of Richard Donner’s SUPERMAN 78’ teaser poster.
Painted over 70 hours from iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and brought into Photoshop CC for heavy lifting.
Sketched traditionally with pencil and paper and then scanned into Photoshop for painting, detailing and finishing, 'Downtown Deckard' was the first big challenge of my fledgling career as an illustrator. This piece is an attempt to provide the viewer with a unique perspective of some of the opening scenes of Ridley Scott's classic film noir utilising elements of futurist Syd Mead's designs from pre-production and characters and shots from the film.
My intention was to layer in as many references to the film as possible without over-loading the frame. Deckard (Harrison Ford) is the focus of the piece and I used foreground elements such as the traffic display (foreground left) to hold your eye on the bottom of the frame. Eagle-eyed fans can spot 'Gaff' (Edward James Olmos), Deckard's spinner (far right), 'The Snake Pit' where Deckard finds 'Zhora' (Joanna Cassidy), the subway where Zhora attempts to evade Deckard, references to words used in the Voight Kampf test in the Chinese-writing neon signs, 'Hannibal Chew's (James Hong) 'Eye World' and a fleeting glimpse of Rutger Hauer's 'Roy Batty' if you really squint!
This piece was sold to a private collector and no further editions are available.
Poster Posse invited me to contribute to a 2001 50th Anniversary tribute and I was delighted to be involved. I spent weeks pouring over all of the alternative film posters produced over the years, 'Making of' videos and books (I highly recommend the Taschen book) and ultimately I came to the conclusion that in 50 years pretty much everything has been attempted.
Liberated somehow in not having a 'Eureka!' concept in my mind I set out to make a poster that I as a fan of the film would like. I love the Moon sequence where the second monolith is examined by the astronauts and from there I couldn't get that spellbinding opening sequence out of my head, so, I put both of them together. Prof. Brian Cox might have a thing or two to say about the alignment and positioning of the Sun/Earth and Moon but it looked striking so I went with it.
Sketched by hand and then fleshed out in Procreate on an iPad Pro, all the heavy lifting on this one was done in Photoshop CC with Kyle T Webster's wonderful array of brushes. Hand-drawn from start to finish using pen,paper,iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and a Wacom Intous Pro.
PosterSpy ran a creative brief in Dec/Jan 18' to coincide with the release of Martin McDonagh's newest film, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri.
A defiant promo image of Frances McDormand’s Mildred Hayes stuck out for me from the start and it in turn then seemed logical to portray the men who would seek to interfere (rightly or wrongly) in her quest for justice. I had planned on putting her ex-husband (played by John Hawkes) in but the composition became too crowded.
Its companion piece 'Fire with Fire' is much simpler and perhaps conveys the emotion of the film more accurately in my opinion. The tone of this poster is more frenetic as a fire (would be a SPOILER to say of what although it is in the trailer) rages off-screen. The blaze illuminates the previously murky landscape and embers dance around the night sky. The three billboards of the title can be seen in the fog in the background alluding to Mildred’s transformation of the signage from derelict to divisively direct.
Characters were sketched out in detail and the composition outlined on an iPad Pro using Procreate and then transferred across to Photoshop CC to finish on a Wacom Intuos Pro.
Privately commissioned pieces of Slash, Eddie Vedder and Freddie Mercury in an ongoing series of ‘Icons’.
Freddie was painted in Procreate 4 with an Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro and finished in Photoshop CC.
Slash was drawn digitally in Photoshop CC using pencil/charcoal and paintbrushes and Eddie was drawn on grey matte paper and then digitally finished in Photoshop CC using 6H/4H/2H/HB/2B pencils.
I was thrilled to be asked to contribute to Poster Posse's 'Women's History Month' in late 2016. When asked to create a piece that celebrated a woman that inspired me Nina Simone was at the top of the list for her musical genius and fierce work as an activist.
Painted digitally in Photoshop CC.
Clients include: Bleacher Report, Warner Brothers
Every piece begins with a rough concept sketch (usually on a Post-It note or something small) and then I start roughing out details in Procreate on an iPad Pro from there. Most of my early detailing is done in Procreate and when the painting is ready for final rendering I move it into Photoshop CC and wrap it up on a Wacom Intous Pro.
Inspired heavily by the US one-sheet for The Shining in terms of colour and tone,I wanted the poster to be as terrifying as possible. Framed by Dr. Lawrence Gordon’s (Cary Elwes) hand-with saw-from 2004’s Saw, the ensemble features two Stephen King characters in Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) and Pennywise (Tim Curry), as well as Regan MacNeil from William Friedkin’s classic, The Exorcist, and Pinhead from the mind of renowned horror author Cliver Barker in Hellraiser. Last but certainly not least my favourite villain, Hannibal Lecter played by Sir Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs.
Drawn in black/white and red HB/2B pencil in Photoshop CC with a Wacom Intuos Pro.
