One inspiration walk, twenty thousand footsteps, dappled sunlight, gushing rivers, wind in trees, Canadian geese, weather-beaten horses and one nonchalant mountain goat, clearing mist, a moment of clarity.
The Walk sets out to capture the simple beauty of taking a walk and the moments of clarity and inspiration that can produce.
"This was one of my first studio projects at Art&Graft and initially ideating concepts about Dark Matter and the universe...which proved quite difficult to summise in 60 seconds. I took a break and went on a trip to the Lake District with my family, whilst there I was really inspired by the beautiful patchwork landscapes."
Stephen Middleton, Creative Director at Art&GraftInspired by the rolling hills and craggy peaks of the Lake District, with scenes ascending from beneath the canopy to above the clouds all lovingly painted from photographic reference. The geometric textures used for hillsides echo the patchwork of the land created by farming enclosures and the jagged shadows of rocky outcrops.

Some dude in some motel room, with nothing to kill but time.
A solitary hotel room, a lovable loser, fast food scattered across cheap carpets, day time TV, extra large soda, an empty fridge, a wasted afternoon.
Lost Hope is an adventure into the midnight city.
Morning mist against wooded shores, thousands of miles of cables against blue evening sky, ethereal streaks of light across abandoned rail, a haunting, unpeopled series of landscapes.
