The main image can be read in one of two ways: It can be read as a statement as in we are now living in a post truth period or as an instruction that could reinstate truth as being a central value to a societies wellbeing. The world is changing fast and the question 'Why?' is one being asked more and more frequently. The third image is self explanatory and reflects on of my greatest fears - a return to the Dark Ages.

A digital collage illustration to show that stress is largely subjective. The same statue carries the weight of the world on his back while the other quietly contemplates a flower. Both could be the same individual.

An attempt to merge digital collage with expressionism with a view to having the flexibility of collage with the emotion of artistic expressionism. Some AI was used with the individual elements but not with the overall composition or post processing. That was all done using traditional means,

Using 2D assets in a 3D environment. Showing how flat images can be used in 3D software such as Blender, especially in work that doesn't aim for photorealism

Three surreal digital collages that should not be taken roo seriously.

Wall ready abstract expressionist paintings by Steve A Johnson

Digital collage in 3D space made with Blender 3D software.

Neo expressionist digital collages that incorporate digital painting, physical painting my own photography, stock photography, 3D modelling/rendering, and a some AI (the latter only for individual elements, never composition).

Unlike my Wall ready paintings most of these were done on small pieces of unstretched canvas or heavy paper and now sit in a storage bin under my desk. I have put over a thousand of these into the public domain. I use assets and software kindly provided by others and it seems only fair to give something back. . If you have any questions or need clarification just get in touch. The rest of the images are all high resolution, can be used for anything - no attribution required, available from Pexels (link below the grid)

A quick demo of some music visualization pieces. This type of video creation is very non-linear and great fun to do. The music is all AI generated using Suno

Some editorial collages that I am currently working on. Currently only three works but will be adding to this project as and when I produce more. They do represent my own take on current affairs and most will be unapologetically opposed to much is going on the US and other authoritarian leaning places.

This series consists of eight finished digital collages created as potential environmental anchors for creative work by others. The focus is on visual world-building—creating imagery that could define the mood of a set or a character’s headspace.

A personal project worked around an old illustration of mine from a couple of years ago. I wanted to create something in a retro, expressionistic, comic/graphic novel style that is a favorite of mine. I often use a similar approach for poster design

A Collage composited on a computer but made with both digital and real world assets from my own personal collection (i.e. made by me)

A few of the digital collages that I have worked on recently (early 2026). The style is somewhere between expressionism and surrealism. The assets used are mainly from my own archives..
