Nuclear Window

$360.00 – $1,130.00Price range: $360.00 through $1,130.00

30 x 1.5cm
x 30cm

I’ve joined the masses turning their backs on Adobe and this is my first digital artwork using Affinity Photo. This was mainly a learning curve and I’m not sure it’s my best concept but a good start to hopefully some great Affinity made artworks! I wanted to create an electric wall by using textures that I’d create in Photoshop like smudging and adjustment layer or placing a glow around it. I ended up making the vines glow and even created a much better lemur (in terms of fur) than I could have in Photoshop. The overall intention was to create a window where the clouds are actually doughnuts, so I tried to show that with some of them spanning across to the neighbouring window. I also added the albino giraffes referencing my painting, ‘The Game’, while the doughnuts reference my painting, ‘Cravings’.

Blue Cheese Sandwich

$360.00 – $1,130.00Price range: $360.00 through $1,130.00

30 x 1.5cm
x 30cm

This is a digital artwork I created originally with another idea in mind however as I created it I ended up with holes in the giraffe which then changed my mind to then create a cheese sandwich reminiscent artwork.

Shooting Birds

$360.00 – $1,080.00Price range: $360.00 through $1,080.00

30 x 1.5cm
x 30cm

This is an artwork I thought up during my 80 artworks challenge although didn’t have time to fit it within the project since I wanted the artwork to become quite detailed. I recently created an artwork, ‘Smokey Bird’, which is what sparked the idea. Since birds fly around so quick I wanted to create an artwork with heaps of birds shooting around the page. It’s not quite what I imagined but hits the target!

Raffe Planet

$360.00 – $1,080.00Price range: $360.00 through $1,080.00

30 x 1.5cm
x 30cm

This is a somewhat continuation on my ‘Doughnut Town’ and ‘Ice Cream Town’, although this time, since I’ve transformed my giraffe in so many ways I wanted them all exploding from my new giraffe statue as an artistic presentation of collection of work.

If you check out the behind the scenes video you’ll see I almost used the alpaca although due to logistics had to ditch the idea. This turned out quite fitting.

Ice Cream Lineup

$360.00 – $1,080.00Price range: $360.00 through $1,080.00

30 x 1.5cm
x 30cm

This is another artwork from my October Challenge and a follow up idea from my ‘Ice Cream Town’, a mix of my ‘Chocolate Ice-car’ and ‘Snake Flavour Please’ where I decided I needed to create different ice cream flavours as I like the idea of seeing an ice cream although having the actual ice cream another object, unexpected and confusing.

Cloud Vomit

$360.00 – $1,080.00Price range: $360.00 through $1,080.00

30 x 1.5cm
x 30cm

This is an artwork I created early on in my October Challenge and the idea popped into mind right after finishing a recent digital artwork, ‘How Rainbows Are Made’, I wanted to continue the idea of the cloud spitting out colours yet entirely focus on that as the artwork on its own.

Catching Moons

$360.00 – $1,080.00Price range: $360.00 through $1,080.00

30 x 1.5cm
x 30cm

This is a digital artwork I created with the intention to create something different to my other recent artworks since I feel like I've been creating pieces with one focal point. The idea of having moons fishing into a room was the idea the entire time.

The Pyramid Mystery

$650.00

40 x 1.7cm
x 50cm

I recently entered the pyramid rabbit hole, long story short, these are not tombs. It began as I find other peoples point of view interesting so I let conspiracy theories (or just regular theories that the mainstream labels to lower their credibility) enter my YouTube feeds and I think it included a mix of my electronics searches because I came across a pyramid generator theory by Chris Dunn. The entire topic is fascinating and has merit so I don’t think my painting reflects all the ideas I came across but I wanted to paint something pyramid. One point that I want to share, through art, is that we seem to under the mainstream impression that Egypt has always been a desert but there’s water erosion marks all over the Sphinx. Water plays a big part in a lot of the science explaining alternate histories. The pyramids generator theory is pretty complicated but I started the painting when learning about the aquifers part of the theory which is the very beginning of the generator theory, so I painted the pyramid of water. I also wanted to reflect two older artworks named, ‘Priorities’ and ‘Priorities 2’. The artwork wasn’t very planned out but as I continued to paint I put in plenty of effort into the spikes, also referencing my recent artwork ‘Thinking Things Up’ I learnt about the mystery of the tunnels that lead under the Sphinx so I added those into it. At some point I wanted to add more, then another point I decided to keep it simple and make more artworks to share the ideas. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

Nothings Random

$400.00

45 x 3cm
x 45cm

In this artwork I decided to try a new tactic where you see above the ground and below. Since this was my first attempt and also during my 80 artworks I believe I could have done better. Either way, it’s not bad! I also aimed to have more of a landscape where my artwork showcases a scene instead of one centred item. The idea of this artwork is based on how nothing’s random. A passing thought when I joke about simulation theory. Then I wondered why there’s people who genuinely believe that random things happen… The thought that the entire world is a massive domino effect doesn’t apply in their version of reality. I believe things happen exactly as planned, whether you choose to do it through one way or another. 

To paint this I tried to show tunnels beneath the ground and one item in one end and something else on the other end, water enters one tunnel then wind exits another which turns into clouds. It all seems linked to me, go on and ask someone how often they needed something and it turns up on their curb side. I find it interesting to see just how many people this happens to. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.
