Threw the paint wrong, it has to be scraped off and started all over again!

5 feet x 5 feet oil on wood
I made this painting a number of years ago and this is the first public write up!
Think you’ll see why 😄…
The painting was commissioned to provide an illustration of the concept ‘studying the universe’
Like a lot of people I’ve always been in awe of the Universe and interested in spirituality, metaphysics, mysticism, religion…
I jumped at the chance to do the research:
After reading books, taking yoga classes, visiting temples, meditating, meeting wise people and spiritual teachers, traveling to workshops and even trying ayahuasca…
This is what I finally understood:
All religions and spiritualities are more or less different creative languages for saying the same thing
Essentially there is only ‘One’ of us here (Uni-verse/ One-song)
The Universe is a reflection of our collective thoughts
There are essentially just two thoughts: fear (illusion) and love (truth)
We do not have the power to change this, we do have the power to choose
In each moment we are individually and collectively making this choice
This world is dominated by the thought forms of fear
Our human mind is conditioned to choose fear at the cost of love and in doing this we’ve co-created an often very frightening world
In this image I hoped to provide clarity of this and illustrate this as simply as possible by removing all outward layers and attempting to paint the basic unconscious pattern of a mind (the red part) consumed with fear, letting go of love (the white part) and remaining in the dark
The buyer chose to name the painting ‘The Birth of Love’
I’m proud to have the painting in a private collection in the US!
Thanks for reading x

Blinded by the light 4ftx4ft oil on wood
-swipe right for print
I’ve never written anything about this piece publicly before because I felt too self-conscious!
This image originated as a commission to help provide a writer with the inspiration to complete his first novel: about warriors struggling with demonic possession
Curious to explore the darker side, I started by attempting to illustrate the most heinous of all the characters in the story; a depraved desert king, and brutal dictator
I researched despots and dictators who had owned palaces in the desert; Saddam Hussein, pol pot, idi Amin and others
I read about the torture equipments of Saddam Hussein’s children, one of whom is said to have owned an iron maiden within which he placed members of the Iraq Olympic team who dissatisfied him -beggars belief
I focussed consistently on this image, using blacks and working with rags, brushes and sand paper, making many additional sketches and listened to Marilyn Manson and the Nine Inch Nails relentlessly, it seemed as though the process might never end -and I came close to giving up, then one morning -with my studio in the same room -I woke up and instinctively began lightly sanding away some of the black paint and saw the gold eyes appearing
I came to understand that the painting was showing me that even within the very darkest places in life, the light is always there, beyond appearances, no matter how black it seems, it never goes away.
Creatively, it helped me understand that my job is to show up and do my best, the art works with me and through me if I play my part
It’s my personal favorite piece
I’m proud to have the original painting in a private collection in the US

My first NFT ‘fear’ created with Rarible is a digitalised image derived from a painting I made in 2016
Given the hype I felt I needed to dip my toe in the water
The extraordinary rise of the NFT has occasionally been nerve-wracking -wondering if I’ve wasted a decade learning to make art with paint 😅
In a world where a Cryptocurrency called Dogecoin was created as a joke- meant to be worthless - and is now worth $50 billion; it’s easy to be cynical and unsure
However, trying to cut through some of the BS (there’s quite a lot) I’ve since concluded that the highest potential of the NFT is simply as another form of communication and method of self expression. As Jerry Saltz has said, the Bacon’s and Rembrandt’s of the NFT will emerge
To me, that sounds good for everyone
Thankfully (very thankfully) there is no sign that people will lose there enthusiasm for the energy and language of painting 😃
I’m looking forward to experimenting with the medium
What do you think,?
—————————
What is an NFT?
It stands for Non-Fungible Token: a unit of data created on digital ledger called a blockchain
When something is non-fungible, it cannot be changed. It is unique. Think if it like a famous painting or a rare trading card -there will only be one original no matter how many copies are made
It’s as a way to ascribe real-world value to digital assets
The block chain protocol, though wrapped in complicated maths and terminology, is a publicly available document that proves no two NFT’s are the same.
If you own an NFT, it is indisputably yours
