At the time of starting this piece I had the epic ‘Hooky Street’ original hanging to the left of my desk, whilst to the right sits ‘Castle Grayskull’ and ‘Snake Mountain’ from the ‘Masters of the Universe’ toy range. So, with the need for me to focus on creating nostalgia-fuelled ‘happy place’ art, I knew it was time to get cracking, and I really went for it! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BasicParagraph\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou know how I don’t hold back with the level of detail that I inject into my scenes and ‘Battle Street’ showcases this brilliantly! Panoramic in proportion, this image took well over one hundred studio hours to create, and you know what? I absolutely loved every moment of it! The more I was consumed by the image, the more my imagination ran wild with some crazily random scenarios that weren’t planned but really do show how my mind works! I guess that is what makes an artist so different to another because it is so much more than technique that forms a recognisable style, it is the window into their mind that sets them apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BasicParagraph\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hardest thing with this piece was to limit what could go in, there were so many more characters that could have rocked up and played their part, along with many more epic playsets but I wanted to keep the impact big. ‘Playbours’ is the umbrella brand where many more of these style pieces will live in time, so you can imagine the potential here! \u003cbr\u003eOf course, everyone has their own memories of their childhood toys and their favourite characters that they collected, for ‘Battle Street!’ I have plumped for four iconic playsets that I have no doubt will have been on many of my collectors’ birthday and Christmas lists!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BasicParagraph\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis had to be a bold and dramatic image, one that hit you hard and brought all those memories flooding back. After all, it was how the toy companies and their marketing teams created their images to make you want to collect everything they produced! So, a vivid sky that is bursting with drama, fireballs and lasers plays a big part! You’ll see the hint of a leafy wood in the background which leads you onto the sister piece, ‘Cuddlewood Grove’. I remember integrating many of my toys as a kid, where they all played their part and it works so well in this scene, where they have all come to life with hilarious consequences. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BasicParagraph\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI will leave you to pick out of the carnage from this scene, there’s loads! What this piece has further reminded me of is that I wish I had looked after my old toys so I could have kept them like so many of you lot have done, I guess I took them for granted and never imagined they would be so massive after all these years. It is so great to take a step back into our positive childhood memories to then leap forward inspired and grateful for a truly magical time that simply cannot be beaten. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BasicParagraph\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am so proud of this piece, and I hope it brings you so much joy, after all it is seeing how my collectors enthuse over my retrospective artworks that drives me on and pushes me to create mesmerizing scenes like this.

I had to really fight the urge with this one. It’s funny, on writing this I just had to double check the image to make sure there was nothing naughty hiding amongst the leaves and love hearts.

If you haven’t seen pieces from my Horror collection, then it might shock you! There’s two sides to me for sure! My art has always been my outlet for my emotions and is always influenced by events and experiences outside of the studio.

I’m not claiming to have collected all the toys that you see here but it brings back great memories of what my sister loved\/loves!
