This is a digital artwork I created out of curiosity in what it would look like raining laser fruit. I also wanted to create something using the big wave, a night time scene and my fruit images. This was the final result which soon turns into another artwork.

This is the second last painting of my 80 artworks project, I aimed to paint something simple since I was low on time but it also fit into the concept very well and ended up being one of my favourites from the lot. Before creating the artwork I looked at my website and came across a painting I almost forgot about ‘Obedience’, a painting with a dusk purple sky and bees buzzing around in bubbles. I wanted to create something similar. The concept was influenced by my project and how my life is so different to other people (it’s part of my job to stop everything and intensely create art for 11 weeks straight), they’re too busy doing the “This is what’s expected of me” to stop and wonder if they’re blindly flying through life in the bubble caught in the wind. Do you genuinely control the direction your life is going? I also wanted to channel the style of my digital artworks, a challenge I’ve been working on as I find it difficult to have the two genre’s overlap. I believe this artwork really did a good job with that. My digital artworks have moon balloons in them, the moon also represents your emotions in astrology so I definitely put a moon in there. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

I wanted to create a car in a car while working on my 80 artworks project as something unique although now that some time has passed and I’m recording the artwork in my spreadsheet, this was probably a subconscious continuation from my ‘Road Trip’ artwork and a variation of ‘Car Stack’ from many years ago. Since I decided to create a night digital artwork it definitely turned out a tad different to what I expected!

This artwork is a thought chain reaction when watching the ‘Estranged’ Guns N’ Roses music video. I noticed Axl Rose is wearing a Manson top, then I looked at the timeline of Manson’s peak infamy, the music video date and so on. Manson also had an interest in music and on ‘The Spaghetti Incident’ GN’R made a cover. They copped criticism for this revolving around the topics of how could Axl Rose wear the Manson top, then on top of that do a cover, the critics believed it’s making Mansons crimes look like an inviting thing to do, if very talented rock stars then wear your face. I don’t really see it that way, the Manson face logo is aesthetically pleasing and as someone who’s been a designer in the past, it’s clear that Axl Rose didn’t commission the top, it already existed. The song also already existed and GN’R is known to do covers in general. Then I continued that train of thought, since the design already existed then someone was already profiting off Manson’s crimes… without the criticism. I continued to think and came to the conclusion that the moment a crime is committed, someone who isn’t the criminal begins to profit, starting with the government agent that responds to the crime, then the next of kin if there’s any assets, then the journalists that choose to report on it, then the news outlets, the channels that news outlets pay to have advertising on, the assistant that gets some CEO’s coffee and all the way down to the people dabbling in LawTube. When you dive this far into the rabbit hole, how does it make sense to vilify a rock band? Everyones guilty. The artwork shows Manson’s logo made of spaghetti, referencing ‘The Spaghetti Incident’, and hands eating from it… since everyones taking a bite. When the artwork sells, I’ll grab my slice of the spaghetti pie and add to the list of horrible people profiting off Manson’s crimes. This artwork was one of my 80 artworks project and a little rushed. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is an artwork I created during my 80 artworks and the idea came from two previous ideas. One being ‘Alpaca Wall’ and the other ‘Camouflage Partyraffant’. I’ve always appreciated the transparency of the wall in ‘Camouflage Partyraffant’ and tried to replicate it quite a few times. While creating the artwork I wanted to channel some dreamy vibes, the window’s calling.

This is an artwork I decided to paint after a break up, I don’t do those often so it definitely came as a refresher. I found it interesting insight, especially for people who get into relationships often… How are they keeping their emotions in check and willingly diving straight back into a relationship? I really worked on making sure to keep the appropriate emotion for whatever situation. In the painting I originally knew I wanted to paint a set of cubes, compartments, and definitely including a woman letting the water pour over while the one in the box below is bothered by her arm flopping down and holding a lighter to it. Instead I changed it to have no props in most of the boxes (check out the time-lapse and artventure videos to see the progress of this). They’re all in their boxes, however the nature of some emotions naturally intervenes with whatever their neighbours up to. Since I began my 80 artworks project shortly after starting this, I included it and the detail in this artwork definitely made the project more difficult! The close up is of the best face… This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is one of my 80 artworks and when I began it I thought I’d quickly wrap the bird in leaves although that wasn’t quick and it didn’t look good (I recommend watching the time lapse for this one) I then changed my mind on what I wanted to create and at the time I thought the concept of turning the bird into half smoke would be too simple. After creating it I decided this artwork took a very good turn.

This was one of my final 9 apaintings from the 80 artworks project, I decided to paint a bird out of practicality for the time constraint and I also wanted to paint a bird, like a previous artwork ‘Flock Party’, since I haven’t in a while. One that’s in a position you’d be lucky to have photographed… only executed through painting in some capacity. I also wanted to paint something which the viewer needed to think about, how it’s hanging onto a cloud and what is the cloud to each person? There’s a small reference to that cat poster “Hang in there”. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

During my 80 artworks project my digital artworks and paintings overlap as I try to interchange the styles between them. This is one of those artworks where I try to recreate a painting that sold. The impression that I have where the two don’t swap very well still stands as the painting is much more capturing than this version.

This is an artwork I made during my 80 and one where I decided to channel a much older painting, ‘Surrender’ which I really like since it makes me feel like I’ve teleported somewhere else. That idea, alongside also wanting to turn the sail from the other artwork into a tap, as if it’s making it’s way into this painting through a tap that I used in my painting ‘On tap’. I feel like I achieved the goal for this one. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is the artwork I made just before the one I released the week before this one, I chose to share them in reverse order since this ones a tad more cryptic to understand what you’re looking at, not having seen the other first. While I worked on my 80 artworks I looked around at other peoples art and saw how people used clouds as part of their objects. Something I’ve done before (‘Ice Cream Town’ as an example) but I haven’t turned the motorbike into one which means it’s time to do so! I then created the other because I thought it should be done.

This is one of my 80 artworks and every now and then I decide to paint something I would have or couldn’t create through digital art. I use a few doughnuts in my digital artworks so following my ‘Watching the Boats Sail Past’ I still wanted to paint doughnuts. So I painted a woman craving doughnuts, looking into the mirror and seeing a doughnut back. Her dress is glaze and I decided to replace items around the place with doughnuts.

I made this artwork after the one I share next however I thought it needs to be shared first since the next one will make more sense being the second one. As I worked through my 80 artworks I had a list of things I wanted to create and I couldn’t decide which version was better so I made both. This is the first motorcycle made of clouds of the both.

This is one of the later artworks during my 80 artworks project and intentionally simple. I thought about how every generation is so different yet we all go through the same stages and one day I won’t know how to use the modern technology (that probably wont happen judging my grandma though, maybe something else). We’re all the same, so I wanted to paint a row of armchairs sliding across a hallway down toward a window all watching the same sight. I initially intended to make the chairs look worn, time didn’t allow for that one. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is one of the later of my 80 artworks and since I have my ‘Giraffe Turn’ artwork and ‘Elephant Turn’ it seemed fitting to add the alpaca to the series since realising I probably had a slightly larger photo than what I previously thought. I cleaned up the photo and whipped out this artwork in an hour.

This is one of my 80 artworks and I began this idea with the intent of capturing movement within a painting after looking at Wyndham Lewis’s artwork ‘A Battery Shelled’ and seeing the movement there. The artwork took a plot twist when I looked at the painting image again in daylight and thought I was looking at something entirely different. I continued creating a response to what I thought I saw. I aimed to paint a running statue catching a ball which then turned into a statue hand throwing it and I aimed for the other parts of the artwork to appear as if they’re mid motion. The artwork isn’t one of my favourites as it looks very different to my other paintings so I’m ‘on the fence’ with this one. Since I made it in October and months have passed before putting it up for sale I’m growing a liking to the result. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is a digital artwork from my 80 challenge and I wanted to incorporate the photo of a milk carton I had which I only used once in the other ‘Malk’ artwork. This time I cleaned up the photo so it didn’t look so generic and from there the artwork became different flavoured milk… I could have done blueberry and food flavours although as a surrealist I didn’t go that way. Here’s your milk.

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.

I decided to create this artwork as cockatoos sometimes visit me and genuinely watch me colour in… I like to think they know they’re in some of my artworks. I tend to have a coffee when colouring in (I have a colouring in book series you should check out) so this artwork is coffee with the birds. Something I’m not doing intentionally is when I’m given instructions I tend to take the instructions as is but give it a creative twist. So if you wanted me to give you an image of coffee with birds, this is what you get.

This is one of my 80 artworks and I wanted to create something that has my style and also similar to ‘Midnight Snack’, I believe I aced that part of my goal. I also wanted to paint this artwork as I’m often using banana’s in my artworks yet I can’t eat them. They’re just a novelty for me. I like to paint banana’s in a cubist way and off coloured so now when I see this shape I just see the fruit. The rest of the scene is just playful, I wanted them to be sliding down a slide and have birds also interacting.

This idea came to mind after creating my artwork ‘Road Trip’ and decided instead of having one low lying clouds I wanted many. As the artwork unfolded it became what it is now. I really enjoy this artwork as it really shows off the kind of surrealism I want to share.

A bicycle can be self-stable without gyroscopic or caster effects’ – A study by J. D. G. Kooijman, J. P. Meijaard, Jim M. Papadopoulos, Andy Ruina4 & A. L. Schwab. Astrology attracts the kind of “skeptics” who show no interest in actually speaking to an astrologer or even looking into anything past a sun signs article in a pop magazine (any astrologer will elaborate on the misconception here). The astrological critics are sharp with their words, quick to label anyone studying it an idiot. To those critics, please let me know how a bicycle balances itself. We both see an event happening and not being able to explain the physics doesn’t discount the result. After an astronomer on YouTube went to the effort to create a purely hate based video on astrology I came to wonder why I’d be watching any of their other videos. The comments, also aggressive and no one looked into topic that they were arguing is fake, often bringing up Uranus and Pluto... Which an astrologer can very clearly explain. So I painted a person statue with flowing water over them, in astrology water is relation to emotions, it’s over their head. A bicycle through the head, a somewhat direct way of showing you’re being thick about this. I placed Uranus in the sky next to the head as they argue the entire validity of the topic based on Uranus being discovered in 1781, barbed wire wheels as electricity was discovered in 1752, something Uranus rules. From here I came up with an idea about the pyramid generators which will be another painting. The moon crashed in the water as the moon also represents your emotions. The statue wrapped in papers in a way the statue can’t read it but uses it as a shield.

Since creating my fluffy lego pieces I also wanted to merge that idea with a seperate idea to create a chessboard using the photos that I turned into statues for the artwork ‘Grabbing Art Supplies’. I came across a challenge in this artwork as with photo editing the angle of the photo is what you have to work with.

This is the final idea from my 80 artworks challenge and I aimed to show how people let time pass them by so easily. Definitely not as well executed as other artworks and an idea I’ll definitely come back to. I began the challenge as I saw a planet alignment coming up and needed to make sure I have my artworks set so whatever comes my way won’t affect the art machine. A daunting idea, 80 artworks in 77 days (and I went over by 2 days). Yet every time I thought about it I looked back at my other goals that year and reflected on how many activities I’ve completed by just showing up. Showing up is easy, then staying is easy. So many people let time pass them by and it could have been very easy for me to just say “tomorrow” over and over again for the 11 weeks and missed my window. I’ve done it before, and it’s not a good feeling looking back and seeing you wasted months on end putting off a one hour task. So this is the artwork, a thinking statue and their head flying off with the birds as if they’re time. But this guy isn’t going anywhere, he’s just kidding himself.

This idea began to brew as I created the artwork prior which showcased a pear in the sky as a home, I wanted to create a home that was more front and center but also wanted to make a very surreal animal. So from there I merged the ideas of a door through an elephant. The artwork grew from there and this is the result.

I really enjoyed painting ‘Everything and Nothing’, an artwork similar to this with a pear shaped hill, alluding to there being a pear, yet it’s just a landscape so there’s nothing there. That artworks gone now and I wanted to create another, however slightly different idea in mind. This time the hill is a cow. Death reminded me of this idea, when you bury a pet, or anything, the grass is greener, so naturally the moisture droplets evaporate through the greenery over night. When someone dies, you don’t just forget they existed so I painted the water hanging over the hill like memories.

Turning a photo into jelly is a challenge, it’s something I wanted to try now that I’ve polished off a few angles of my beetle photos. I don’t think I totally mastered it, although very good first try. They’re more like lollipops instead of jelly.

This is another artwork about synesthesia, although instead of a particular taste I wanted to play on the crossing of senses visually. Someone in passing mentioned “tasting shapes” as a joke about how they were confused about something. It made me think about how I do taste shapes, I very much describe flavour in terms of shapes and colour, although an entirely useless way to communicate the description of a flavour even to other people who imagine things with synesthesia. However a very useful way to start an interesting conversation. So here’s my artwork hearing flavour, an ear travelling across a pear doused in pink passing by a nose smelling a green floating wave. Bouncing between its own walls (your own mind) and half a statue thinking on one side while the head drips down the other. The entire scene, your mind thinking about a flavour or sound.

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.

This is a thing. Guys act weird when it comes to gifting flowers. For the life of me I wouldn’t be able to count how many times a guy has treated me to fast food. Impossible to count. However when it comes to giving flowers, sometimes there’s outright refusal with the “I don’t get it” bringing up their hatred of gifting flowers when no one asked, avoidance by gifting chocolates in the shape of flowers or just a weird undertone. Ask around, other women find this hate toward flowers pretty weird. On the flip side, I can’t comprehend why a trend to hate giving a particular gift would carry on so deep through culture. So I painted a bouquet of angry men. Disgusted that they’re in this position, a flower… giving someone joy. Horrible. The hand reaches out from the wall like a stags head, empaled by flowers. Next to it, soggy fries. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

Recently before creating this artwork (one of my 80), I’d turned my giraffe into zebra print and cleaned up the beetle photos. I imagined something slightly different (less busy) when thinking I wanted to be one of those people who’d created an artwork with a zoo animal in a car. However after putting it together I found it a bit small and needed to give the two a scene. From there I decided to pull up the paint, add a fence made of bicycles the add the flying cars from another recent artwork (which hasn’t been shared yet).

This one time, I went onto insta and saw someone turn their 3D render artworks into a moving LCD screen, as if it’s a painting but alive. Sounds cool, but as I looked at it, it reminded me of that feeling when you’ve been starring at a screen too long. In my mind moving image and digital art will never replace a good painting. They’re just selling another TV with one channel, when your home is serene and you lay on your couch relaxed ready to go to bed, a painting can really grab your imagination. Some moving pixels… more of a wake up tool. For the people out there who get art, paint isn’t boring. You can get lost in a painting just as much as a cat video (if not more) so I decided to make the cactus in this painting very detailed. However it was one of my 80 artworks and I do believe I achieved that, but my opinion might change on that. I painted a very slight glow from outside the frame which is a screen pushing the cactus off the table. You don’t need to show actual motion to imply it’s there, so I painted the cactus on an angle, implying that it’s being knocked off the metaphorical table of art by a screen. A window to remind you outside exists. If you’ve seen my digital artworks I just want to note that you’ll see I never make an effort to make them move. It’s purely an expression of imagination instead of an attempt to grab hold of your psyche’s attention. Since painting this artwork I’ve noticed some people around me who clearly have screen addictions, something not socially acceptable to mention so a follow up painting is on the way.

This is a digital artwork I created during my 80 artworks and as I leave the home I have my ‘Hungry Giraffe’ artwork on the door which doesn’t include springs but each of these reminds me of the other. I also wanted to use the elephant more since I’d recently cleaned up the photo to a better level. I also re-created the spring so that it’s straight and could look more like legs. This is where those ideas ended up.

I painted a mini pear shop, at the time censorship began to peak and it felt like all words that had any negative spin were off limits. For example, telling someone they're being an idiot wasn't on and at this point in time the words retarded and gay had taken an unflattering turn from just being a part of your average millennials teenage vocabulary to turning whoever used it into a homophobic, disabled hating radical, a far cry from what we grew up to know these words as; a seperate definition when used in context. Most millennials have outgrown their teen vocabulary but it still strikes me when people carry the words with a lot more emotional weight then we did. The thought train continues. So this is my mini pear shop, I began with a bunch of pears that were ripe and ready. But one customer didn't like the colour, it offended them. So the shop had to censor it. Then another customer with a different life experience didn't like the other pear, and so on. Now we enter the pear shop and we don't know what's going on. We have a bunch of censored pears, they were just pears to most people. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

During my 80 artworks challenge I made whatever came to mind, I began this with an entirely different idea (check out the video documentations) where I wanted to create a bird with leaves for feathers. Unfortunately with the style that I manipulate the photos to, the leaves looked too doctored and I couldn’t achieve the desired outcome. So I rage quit and made a bird version of a previous artwork, ‘Hungry Giraffe’ which is also the pixel test print I see every time I leave my home. Now it has a pair.

During my 80 artworks challenge I thought about painting this when pausing to look for inspiration for a digital artwork. I wasn’t inspired by anything the other artists were doing, however I did notice something very sad. One popular artist made a few skits where she aimed to be comical and barely showed the artwork. Another wrote “I’ll show you this painting every day until I sell 100 prints” as he did a manly twirl and bopped around with the artwork. First, don’t sell prints. I’m firmly against prints of paintings. Second… Why would anyone buy that (to give description it were a white Chewbacca looking animal, and well executed). Art isn’t just a pretty picture and no matter how much you dance around or make skits, you’re not giving people a reason to buy the artwork. Neither of these “artists” gave any insight as to why they created it except décor. This really grinded my gears, and once again (like my artwork ‘Call for Shitty Artists’) I’m deeply disappointed to be in the same category. These people are putting minimal effort into the “artworks” and maximum effort into making themselves look good for the social attention. I’m looking forward to the day they give up on calling themselves artists and go with influencer or comic. On the left of this painting is another artist propping himself up in the same water’s I swim in, only he’s using his artworks to prop himself up, stay dry, and not get his hands dirty. On the right is me swimming, trying to keep my artwork out of the water. The artwork is what people need to see, not the artist. This artwork had it’s struggles as I think this might have been the round where I aimed to make either 12 or 14 artworks in that week. Time vs skill came into play here. I do document my art process on a few YouTubes and Patreon but it’s entirely different and unscripted… Kind of like an actual documentation, you know, the 90’s definition.

Prior to this artwork I photographed and used lego in my ‘Doughnut Town’, since then I decided to create lego in Blender and use it in an artwork. This giraffe has also been through a lot in my artworks and I came up with the idea of turning it’s spots into lego. As I created it I then decided to turn the environment into lego. If you’ve been through a lego phase as an adult I’m sure you vibe with this giraffe.

There’s an artwork I made and sold, still my favourite, named ‘Trauma’. Before making this painting I remembered a neighbour visiting my place and he went up to the painting in awe (because they’re all better in real life) and said “It’s so abstract!” I’m not an abstract artist, in any regard. Funny and annoying statement, it’s a compliment but not if you have reservations about abstract art the way I do. This artwork grabbed the attention of people in the room, goal achieved, and still trying to do the same with other artworks. So I painted the presence of that artwork in this one, a cactus in the middle of the room, while everyones going about their day but it still fills the room. Art enthusiasts, plant people… some people get it. There’s something special about inanimate objects. I continue on this thought in a different painting about painting vs moving image. While creating it I also tried to capture a new type of scene as opposed to the desert scene I like to do, I glanced upon ’By Lamplight’ by Harriet Backer which I really appreciated and tried something indoors with light peering through. This artwork has references to a couple other artworks in it. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

Anyone can be an artist with these books. I've now created colouring in books for people to colour in my artworks! This edition is based on digital artworks created mostly in 2021 (and earlier). When I was younger I really disliked how colouring in books had very thick black lines.. impressing no one with my final result. So I created a book with thin, greyed out lines so that the final result looks like an actual drawing, like the blurb "instead of pretending to be amazed at a colouring book, you'll say "wow!" and really mean it!". There's no age or gender target here, I ran a focus group and found that the people who enjoy the books most are those who enjoy sitting down and focusing on one thing for a little bit, artistic people and those wanting a challenge. Don't trust my website?? All good! I've listed the book on other websites plus their commission. eBay (2021 edition link) and Amazon. Enjoy! The books have the following features: - Greyed out lines so the user can feel like their final image looks actually drawn! - Spiral bound so the user can lie it flat without effort. - Reference images on the left, either to use as a guide or use as they wish! - 1mm covers so the user can colour on a solid surface when they're on the go. - Recycled paper - 120gsm page thickness

Anyone can be an artist with these books. I've now created colouring in books for people to colour in my artworks! This edition is based on paintings created mostly in 2021 (and earlier). When I was younger I really disliked how colouring in books had very thick black lines.. impressing no one with my final result. So I created a book with thin, greyed out lines so that the final result looks like an actual drawing, like the blurb "instead of pretending to be amazed at a colouring book, you'll say "wow!" and really mean it!". There's no age or gender target here, I ran a focus group and found that the people who enjoy the books most are those who enjoy sitting down and focusing on one thing for a little bit, artistic people and those wanting a challenge. Don't trust my website?? All good! I've listed the book on other websites plus their commission. eBay (2021 edition link) and Amazon. Enjoy! The books have the following features: - Greyed out lines so the user can feel like their final image looks actually drawn! - Spiral bound so the user can lie it flat without effort. - Reference images on the left, either to use as a guide or use as they wish! - 1mm covers so the user can colour on a solid surface when they're on the go. - Recycled paper - 120gsm page thickness

This is a digital artwork I decided to create during my 80 artworks and wanted to turn my other photographs into statues, following the lead of an actual statue photograph I took years ago in Vienna (I think) and also cut out my other car photos so they’re useable for future artworks as well. After starting I realised it wont sit as I imagined since I still placed the statues alongside the road but didn’t have suitable material to create a sidewalk. In the end I like how it’s super crammed and decided to name it accordingly.

I tend to tell people I’m annoyed with them… conflict resolution. However before creating this I thought about the people around me who have an issue with something and act like they’re all fine. Society doesn’t really allow room for people to have a mood anymore, especially with this mental health movement, despite being a human function. We seem to be expected to be corporate 24/7 and handle things in a passive aggressive manner by being polite. Sometimes the situation calls for telling people how it is and you won’t look professional, there’s a chance you may be diagnosed with a disorder by your local hairdresser and that’s how it is. It’s impossible to resolve conflict with passive aggressive people to be frank, and I genuinely wonder, when’s the tipping point? When’s the bottle going to break and overreact? Why would anyone act this way to be liked. I originally imagined up a more detailed artwork but as I continued to create it, that didn’t fit the concept… Outside the bottle (their mind) everything’s calm, quiet, nothing is out of place. Inside the bottle, nothing looks comfortable. In the words of Pauline Hanson… “I don’t like it”. In the background, a broken bottle that made a cloud. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

I decided to create this as I like it when people create mini worlds and turn regular objects into homes. This is often done with a shoe. I wanted to create a different mini world floating on a cloud similar to my ‘Doughnut Town’, ‘Ice Cream Town’ and some other upcoming artworks you’ll see eventually. It didn’t turn out as expected due to the resolution of the photos I could use, although pretty close!

As I watched an astrology lecture I noticed one of the astrologers who’s opinion I respect mention “magic”. At first I thought he was joking then I realised, no, this person genuinely believes in magic. Down the magic rabbit hole I went and learnt that there’s a whole community that believe in magic. Respectable people. Listening to how they came to make sense of it made sense to me and up it’s to this artwork description reader to learn for themselves. However the gist is these people are manipulating the luck they have at hand, not working spells to be billionaires that we’d all assume. I continue this train of thought in a different artwork, however this idea pivots in comparison to the other. During my rabbit hole hunt I came across a story about a well respected psychologist(?) who had the chance to speak somewhere. He picked someone from the audience to take his jacket and he’ll give them $10. Gladly they did. Until he told them a murderer owned this jacket. How can you entirely dismiss magic yet believe a jacket is tainted because a murderer owned it. Perhaps some people are more in tune, a sentence that comes up often. I painted the jacket in the forefront, and each pear representing people front and centre, however the more in tune pear had a mini world swirling around it. Perhaps this could be the most interesting still life image you’ll see today. If you can call it still life. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is one of my 80 artworks and as I looked through my files shortly before deciding to create this I noticed I didn’t preserve the couch photo from my ‘Desert Couch’ artwork. I took this as a challenge to restore the image so I could use it in my artworks. I also wanted to use my newly polished off elephant image and this is where I went with those two.

I woke up from a dream shortly before painting this artwork, well... I thought I woke up from a dream, then I thought I woke up from a dream again, then I woke to a dream that was actually a dream then I actually woke up. I found this insane, I’d never had such a weird experience and had to paint it, I felt like Christopher Nolan must have had a similar dream in order to feel compelled to write ‘Inception’. All that aside, I rushed into painting it and don’t think I captured what I felt, but here’s to the first attempt! The first two dreams were entirely mundane which threw me off, the last one, clearly I was in a dream at that point. So I painted an entry, a super basic entry, then a garden, then a wave in a room. I painted the bird to be a common occurrence in each, watching you figure it out. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is one of the 80 artworks and as I created it I had something slightly… entirely different in mind (rotating stages of giraffes from previous artworks) however someone at the time was talking to me about which one of my artworks they wanted, so I took a peek at my website which turned into a total rabbit hole and I ended up leaving an hour later and making this artwork.

This is an artwork I created in the final week of my 80 artworks and during the whole event I’d turned off my notifications, the radio and pretty much any outside world distractions. This was an enjoyable activity and when it ended I told people “I’ve resurfaced from the rabbit hole”. I had no clue what’s been going on in the real world. At the end when I made this I had a feeling I’d been living in a different world to everyone else. So here’s the rabbit hole, the rabbits never end. Had my resources continued I’d still be making a high velocity of art. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is one of the 80 artworks and before creating it I hunted down some ideas, I didn’t find any however an entirely unrelated video came up on my YouTube and the background of this lecture was a projection of a mosaic window. I thought it looked great and decided to tackle creating one in a digital artwork. It took a while to achieve this look, and a tricky venture for Photoshop! The doughnuts link from two other artworks, ‘Doughnut Town’ and ‘Ice Cream Town’.

In case another artist glances over this artwork, this is aimed at some of my peers. As someone who isn’t surrounded by art lovers or enthusiasts I’m letting you know that the general public still and has always looked at artworks with no effort put in it and ask themselves “WTF is this shit?”. I will redo this concept with a different take however when I saw someone on tv explaining to someone else it’s what the artwork makes them feel I felt like painting this. I feel conned from both perspectives as a viewer and an artist. I feel conned that someone else created something that looks like a 5 yr old made it and expects people to buy into it (literally) without giving the buyer a good reason except for the artists name being attached to it. As an artist I feel conned as people don’t have high expectations until they see my artworks, these artworks create a low bar of expectations and make the career choice look bad. I’m embarrassed to be in the same (general) category. I aimed for a simple artwork for two reasons, 80 artworks in 79 days, and I originally imaged a statue of a bust, giant like this one and half finished by one of these trendy artists. I painted a paint brush thrown at it, since that’s what I imagine these people are doing. I’ll have another go at this with an entirely different scene soon. You can see this trend particularly pronounced in elite art competitions, “Call for shitty artists”, said no one ever. It’s time for people creating these to reconnect with the general public over an elite crowd propping them up. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.
