A series of Cyberpunk inspired paintings on damaged or discarded technology.

Items that once represented the the pinnacle of innovation, brought back from the past using traditional analogue mediums, before being digitally enhanced with Augmented Reality.

Hello! I’m Stu, a versatile artist and designer with a passion for blending an urban aesthetic with cutting-edge technology. I like to use light to create interesting and dynamic compositions and Augmented reality to bring them to life.

PROJECTS

AUGMENTED ART

I use Spark AR to add a layer of interactivity to much of my work. I enjoy bridging the gap between physical and digital using Augmented Reality.

Walls

I am a founding member of Oxford’s MES Graffiti Crew. We work with community groups, councils, local authorities and businesses to create murals, installations and interactive experiences through Oxfordshire and beyond. We also manage the Open Walls Network – breathing new life into liminal spaces by opening up walls, underpasses, tunnels and often entire towns for the use of graffiti and street art.

HIP-HOP HEROES

My illustrated tribute to some of the biggest names in hip-hop history.

Each highly-detailed, hand-drawn illustration, having taken between 12 and 24 hours, is set alongside a lyric from one the artist’s songs that I believe is pertinent to their career and best represents them and their legacy. I believe there’s no substitute for quality and everything about these has been selected to showcase each element to its fullest – from my approach to the illustrations and the typography, through to the final finishing details on the prints that make these stand out so well, I have endeavored to produce a work of art that more accurately reflects the taste and sensibilities of today’s hip-hop fans.

As part of a wider, ongoing series, four have been published so far – Notorious BIG, Tupac Shakur, Nas, and Gang Starr. Further illustrations will be released in batches of 4.
