📦 Officially licensed Metal Gear Solid print – available to pre-order from my store (bit.ly/gilbeystore) today (Friday Sep 19) from 5pm UK time❗️ Feat. Solid Snake front and centre, surrounded by a cast of characters, this 16x24” print is limited to 98 copies. A3 versions will also be available.

It’s been amazing to finally have #Superman back on the big screen this year in a bright, bold and colourful new interpretation, and I’m excited to see where @jamesgunn.bsky.social, David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan et al take the iconic cast of characters next in #ManofTomorrow!

Alien: Earth has been awesome so far. A great balance of ticking the nostalgia boxes whilst being creepy and terrifying in brand new ways! Here’s a portrait of Sydney Chandler as Wendy. #alienearth #noahhawley #xenomorph #hrgiger #sydneychandler #illustration #paintedbyhand #digitalpainting

Had a blast seeing #FantasticFour on the biggest screen possible! Obviously they had me at retro-futurism but I found it to be a very entertaining (and often touching) family dynamic, with some great Silver Surfer/Galactus action to bring it all together. Here’s a bit of H.E.R.B.I.E. for your feed.

You can now get three A3 prints for £50 (and save £10!) in my store with checkout code 3A350 – bit.ly/gilbeystore.

Thought I’d celebrate the victory of the Lionesses last weekend winning their second Euros tournament in a row with some new art! Feat. Sarina Wiegman, Chloe Kelly, Lauren James, Lauren Hemp, Jess Carter, Ella Toone, Alessia Russo, Michelle Agyemang, Leah Williamson, Hannah Hampton and Lucy Bronze.

Thanks to everyone who’s ordered some (or all) of my official #StrangerThings badges! Head to bit.ly/gilbeystore to order 1,3 or 6 mystery pins or the whole set of 12.

My set of 12 officially licensed #StrangerThings badges is now available in my store (bit.ly/gilbeystore), with FREE UK shipping! You can order them as mystery badges individually or in packs of 3 or 6, or save the most when ordering the set. Created with @wearefanattik.bsky.social and Netflix.

Happy 50th to Jaws! One of those classics that never gets old (even though it’s getting old!). It was amazing to be able to create this licensed print with @wearefanattik.bsky.social a good few years ago now. Thanks to everyone who’s bought one and/or has said nice things about it over the years!

Loving making these HEROE5” x VILLAIN5” mini prints (which I give away with orders from my store). Which iconic (or cult classic) face-off do you think I should tackle next? Suggestions welcome.

Was a thrill to work with @cipictures.bsky.social on the cover art (and title treatment) for The Devil At Your Heels, a super enjoyable 1981 documentary about seasoned Canadian stunt driver Ken Carter, looking back at his career as he dreams and schemes to jump a mile over the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Loved working on this documentary cover art (and title treatment) for @cipictures.bsky.social!

Huge thanks to Katy Cowan for inviting me onto the @creativeboom.com podcast, which is out now. I hoped some of you might fancy checking it out, along with the extra follow-up episode, ‘The Spark’, which is a more lighthearted chat/Q&A, about everything from comic-cons to the time I met Tony Hart!

Was great to work with @gbtgl.bsky.social and create this artwork for their 5th podcast season finale!

Happy 70th to The Muppets! Here’s a Monet-inspired piece I did for Drop Mag’s Film on Canvas book a few years ago, with artists reimagining film posters in the style of famous artists through history. #themuppets #rainbowconnection #kermitthefrog #illustration #digitalpainting #paintedbyhand

This was a fun chat!

Wrote a Substack post about this new project if anyone fancies finding out a bit more about it…

Thrilled to have been able to illustrate a loading screen for Fortnite’s Star Wars Galactic Battle. Bucket list item well and truly ticked off. Available now with the Battle Pass! #maythe4th #starwarsday #fortnite #starwars

Here’s the third piece in my ad hoc series of mini 5” prints, HEROE5” x VILLAIN5”, which I give away with orders from my store.

Am sure it’s going to be almost unbearably intense, but frankly I can’t wait. Portraits of Ellie and Joel from season one. #thelastofus #thelastofushbo #bellaramsey #pedropascal #thelastofusseason2 #tlou #thelastofusfanart #portraitpainting #digitalpainting #paintedbyhand

Artwork that’s seen the light of day over the first few months of the year, for clients and personal work. It’s been a fun start, and I can’t wait to show you what else I’ve been doing! #illustration #artist #portraitartist #digitalpainting #paintedbyhand

Store is now up at bit.ly/gilbeystore! All orders come with a free mini 5x5” print from my HEROE5 x VILLAIN5 series, either Robocop or Predator, and if you’re lucky, the much rarer variant versions on the right. Prints available include Rogue One, Jaws, and plenty more. Thanks for any support!

Store re-opening this Friday Mar 28 at 5pm UK time! It’s long overdue, but it’s finally happening, with officially licensed Rogue One prints and plenty more besides. Link (will be) bit.ly/gilbeystore and it will remain open for one week.

Oh man That Season 2 Special Look has just pushed me over the edge. The understatement of the year is that I cannot wait to see how Andor Season 2 bridges the gap between S1 and Rogue One. My Andor print from Star Wars Celebration Europe and official Rogue One print from last year.

“This city can’t go unchecked.” So pumped to see Daredevil back in action! Personal work. Painted in Photoshop. #daredevil #daredevilbornagain #mattmurdock #charliecox #vincentdonofrio #marvel

Ah man, so very sad. Thank you for broadening our culture and our minds Mr. Lynch. Crops from some editorial I did for Empire a few years back and a Mulholland Drive piece I did for a group exhibition with Spoke Art.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Historiart and @slbenfica.bsky.social on this licensed print featuring ten legends who played the most games for the club during their careers, including Eusébio, Luisão and Antonio Veloso, as Benfica celebrate their 120th anniversary.

Strutting into 2025 like… Happy New Year everyone! Loved Vengeance Most Fowl so I’m channeling my inner Norbot to kick things off. Not sure how long that will last before I need another lengthy recharge, but you have to start somewhere, right?

(Most of) my 2024 output. Grateful to have been so busy, so thanks to my amazing agents, clients and collaborators, and to everyone for the follows, likes, comments and shares. It all adds up to allow me to keep on keeping on doing this thing I love. Time for a new chapter!

#Superman and Lois (redux). Updated art from something I did for Total Film several years ago. The original movie always felt like literal movie magic to me, but that said, I’m hyped for @jamesgunn.bsky.social’s version with David Corenswet & Rachel Brosnahan. Superman belongs on the big screen!

Happy holidays! Here’s my Deadpool and Wolverine poster parody of Planes, Trains and Automobiles that you never asked for. You’re welcome! P, T & A is one of my faves and I’ve made art inspired by it before. I had a blast with D & W too, and when I saw the parallels I just had to paint this.

Time for #artvsartist2024, not that I really believe it’s December already, but if it truly is, then I’m thankful to have had a very busy year, and the chance to work on some amazing projects across advertising, film packaging, licensed prints and more besides.

Congrats to Astro Bot and Team Asobi on the Game of the Year win at the Game Awards 2024! Here’s a quick digital oil pastel study of the little fella by way of celebration. If you’ve not played it yet, I can’t recommend it enough!

The Bedford Flea Market was sadly cancelled this past weekend (thank you Storm Darragh 😡) which means that I now have a fair few 'Dinosaur Next Door' prints available that were set aside for the market. Head over to my shop now to snap one up 🦕

Post a #Superman.
