Today we release the new signed limited edition collection from Craig Davison, in box canvas, canvas on board and paper editions. Craig has revisited some of his favourite childhood scenes, as well as tackling some new pastimes, in what will be his final collection based around imaginative shadows.
‘Yeeha! Return of the Magnificent Seven’
“The hooves of the galloping horses stir a vast cloud of dust as the Magniixant Seven ride again towards new adventures. Fresh dangers will be faced in the baking desert of New Mexico: scorpions, rattle snakes, mountain lions, bandits, vampires, giant robots and invading aliens, but one terror alone chills their blood with fear… catching your flares in your bike chain!”

‘For a Few Quavers More’ (Clint Eastwood)
“Squinting into the sun, the boy with no name silently watched as the twenty gunslingers slowly surrounded him. As the bell in the whitewashed church tower chimed ominously, hands hovered nervously above the holstered guns, Winchester rifles clicked ready to fire, brows beaded with sweat and mouths grew dry, as overhead, vultures circled, anticipating the feast to come. Still squinting at the thugs looming around him, our hero in a blur of speed, reaches for his gun, twenty shots ring out from his 6 gun, and before the smoke has settled he’s peddling off into the sunset as fast as he can, after all, Mum’s cooking pie and chips tonight”.

‘He Shoots… He Scores!’ (George Best)
“With a drop of the shoulder and a skilful swerve around the opposing lamop post, the star player springts the length of the pitch, before sidestepping the midfield dustbin to get deep into the penalty box. A quick shimmy gets him past a defending housebrick, before a perfect strike sends the can under the washing line for a spectacular goal!! The crowd roar knowing the young bioy has secured the League Title, FA Cup, European Championship and World Cup, yet again”.

‘The Great-ish Escape’ (Steve McQueen)
“‘Achtung! Halt!’ is all he can hear, as the yelling battalion of Germans open fire at him. He swerves the motorbike to avoid the flying bullets, glad that he managed to grab the bike after emerging from the tunnel of Stalag 30 Junior School. Now all he has to do is clear four paving slabs with his makeshift ramp, four paving slabs to anyone else, but to the WW2 hotshot American pilot, a ten foot barbed wire fence. Peddling furiously, the engine roars as he lines up perfectly with the plywood board propped on a breeze-block. With the wind rushing through his hair, he hits the ramp and soars into the air, before landing on the other side of the barbed-wire in Switzerland, a free man!!”
