MARTIN CLUNES ART PROJECT
by
JUST FOR FUN
Not every artwork has to be serious.
Sometimes I just like to play with ideas and imagine something different.
Here you will find funny artworks, creative mash-ups and simple “what if...?” ideas that made me smile while creating them.
Even when they are ironic, they are always made with respect.
After all, admiration can also be fun!
This is the piece I had the most fun creating:
Star Trek - The New Captain.
I've loved Star Trek since I was a teenager and wanted to dream up a new series starring our beloved characters...
"Space: the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its five‑year mission: to explore strange new worlds,
to seek out new life and new civilizations,
to boldly go where no Cornish GP has gone before!"
While looking on the internet, I found the work of Steve Payne, a wonderful artist who creates portraits of famous people in the style of George Dawe's Military Gallery.
I loved his artworks of Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and many other famous actors.
But I noticed something...
There was no General Martin Clunes!
So I decided to fix this historical mistake.
And it became one of my favourite artworks.
“I imagined Martin Clunes catapulted into the world of Jurassic Park, but with a twist. Instead of terror, there are cuddles; instead of screams, there are smiles. Because, let’s be honest: with his legendary love for animals, Martin would probably end up scratching the velociraptors behind the ears and make them purr! And that’s exactly why a remake with him
could never work. 😂”
Who wouldn't like to see our Martin as the most famous British spy, Mr 007?
Is it just a dream?
Of course not! In art, anything is possible.
So, just for fun, here he is...
Bond. Martin Bond! 😎
