It Does Everything by Mark Taylor - Another work added the the Retro Revival Collection
With more than 100 works created in a single year, my Retro Revival Collection continues to grow. New collections of retro inspired works will be added throughout 2023! You can see the entire collection on my Pixels store here or you can order directly. If you are interested in owning an original retro inspired artwork, please contact me.

Currently I am primarily focussing on the UK and US markets but am open to exhibiting in other territories too. I can also offer exclusivity for some works.
Class of 86 - hand drawn and painted - this was created in around 70-hours, initially using mixed media - alcohol based inks which were then scanned and a hand drawn watch was juxtaposed with further effects then hand drawn.
Waiting in the Sky is a celebration of 80s anarchic punk and the punk/rock music inspired by the likes of Bowie.
Britain's Best Bike by Mark Taylor - this was technically challenging, the seat includes hand drawn details that provide a leather effect. This work is best seen on a large format canvas to appreciate the level of detail.
Again, this was hand drawn on a digital medium. 80s Toy Keyboard is a stunning work that was originally created as a commission. Prints are available from my Pixels store/Fine Art America
Eighties Home Entertainment is a unique pictorial history of typic 80s technology household. Available on my Pixels Store, Fine Art America, or various retailers across the USA and Canada.
Storage Wars - A retro inspired work that takes the authentic and builds upon that specific moment in cultural history.
Unique Retro Art
I am often described by clients as one of the few authentic retro artists who used Photoshop on Day One of its release, and lived the 80s technology life right at the start of the 80s. Quickly moving to become a professional retro artist, my work back then included everything from creating video game assets for home computer games to painting the side art on arcade cabinets - mainly bootlegs at a local arcade but quickly gaining a following by those who got into collecting arcade cabs from the beginning when they were slightly more affordable than they are today! I used to work for credits, today I'm equally as happy to work for retro computers, that way we cut out the middle man as most of my spare change goes into preserving the 1980s anyway!
