An ongoing series of images portraying a fictional world in the not too distant future, incorporating advanced technologies and mysterious objects, set in a familiar environment.

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

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

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.

I found an image of a person in a crop field and decided to make this, I added a helmet to give it a sci-fi vibe and the rocks are a sort of astronomical calculator.

Haven't done one in this style for a while, and really enjoyed creating it - I find this style so satisfying when it all comes together.

This was originally meant to be a soul appearing within the "ghost world" from the "living world", but I scrapped that and I'll leave it up to the viewer to work out their own narrative.

Struggled with this one, I wanted the ghost behind the car to stand out more, but everything I did didn't look right - think I'm happy now tho.

I had an urge to create another image in my "ghost world", this time with a spirit waiting for his sheet to dry.

The inspiration for this digital image came from watching the film 'The Brutalist' about a fictional architect, and also a scene from 'Ad Astra'.

I took this photo just after it rained, when the sky had a burnt tint to it as the sun was setting. Taken with a Canon 1200D. Cropped in PS.

This started off as a digital collage but evolved into a personal piece about depression and social anxiety. Created in PS using free stock images.

Apologies for the lack of posts recently - hay fever has taken over. So while I think of ideas for some new digital collages I thought I'd repost some of my old ones.
