Thank you, Florence, really appreciate your kind words. I'm definitely glad I edited it as the original wasn't minimal enough, and looked too busy around the door.

I really like this idea, looking forward to seeing more like it.

Part of my sci-fi inspired series. Created in PS using free stock images and my own photo.

While I was thinking of ways to finish my latest image I decided to edit an older piece that I felt had too many words around the teleportation door.

Love this, can't wait to see what you do for the other chapters, especially chapter four.

I wanted to do another one in my "eyes shut" series as I find this style really satisfying to create.

I keep forgetting he does music too, I've been a fan of his art for a few years but haven't properly listened to any of his stuff yet. While I work on an image tomorrow I'll have to play some of his stuff in the background, thanks for the reminder.

Love these, that first one reminds me of an image from Simon Stålenhag's 'The Electric State'.

I had no real plan for this, I just wanted to create another one in the series.

Thank you, Florence.

Thanks for your comment, my mate who's a huge rock fan - especially 60/70s - has said the same thing a few times about some of these images.

I had a look at your profile, and you've done some lovely comic art. When I get a chance I'll have to check it out.

Another image featuring the little astronauts travelling to distant worlds, this time with them investigating a mysterious alien craft.

Thank you, Allan. I didn't intend to do a series when I did my first ghost image, but I started getting ideas and enjoyed doing something a bit different to my usual sci-fi work - hopefully they'll be more to come.

What a great profile, these collages are so pleasing to look at, especially this one. There is so much going on with each picture, and they're all really well balanced with a lovely colour palette to them - looking forward to seeing more work from you.

Thank you, Florence, glad you like it.

I realised I'd made a mistake on the version of this I posted earlier, so this is a repost but with the fault rectified.

The latest image from my "little astronauts" series, this time portraying a world where remnants of an unknown ancient civilisation are worshipped.

I knew nothing about the football either, like you say our media never covered it, and from what I remember there was only a very small article in the middle of one of the papers about his passing. Totally agree about the freeway closure bit, the room got rather a bit dusty at that point of the doc.

'I Like Me' was a great documentary, albeit very sad. I've always wondered what direction his acting career would have taken if he was still with is.

For this I wanted to do another image featuring the little astronauts travelling to distant worlds, a kind of Gulliver's Travels in space.

I had no plan for this, I started with the burning hill and added pieces with the same colour pallet, and the image just developed from there.

That's awesome, if I saw that in a shop I'd grab it straight away. There's definitely a market for this kind of imagery.
