Rebel Raptor Studios

I think we, as humans, struggle to feel inspired in this day and age because of all the bullshit that's out there. we are constantly being fed content ALL Day in many ways, shapes and forms!
Creativity is in danger of becoming "un-special".
You literally cannot believe anything you see or read. I often get stuck in a doom scroll cycle that i know is bad for me and i cant get out of. It gets depressing. I started craving something REAL! Something hands on!.. SO... I created Rebel Raptor Studios! I needed to FEEL the emotion in the creativity again. there is something truly magical about that.
Rebel Raptor Studios is a collaborative art project that introduces people to varying forms or artwork and creativity in order create something truly epic and unique, that is the exact OPPOSITE of the content that's out there. The idea is to inspire creativity and provide a hands on experience for people of ALL ages who want to detach form all the garbage out there and just do something SUPER fun, EXTREMELY creative and ULTRA real!
It started out with a simple graffiti course in New York, run by the dude who invented "Train Graffiti" - basically he weas tagging trains! I participated in one of his workshops and I was HOOKED!! I totally fell in love with the colours, the sense of creation, the feeling of creating something so unique. I needed to share this feeling with EVERYONE!
There are a number of mediums to choose from, ranging form spray paint, pour art, splat paint and my personal favourite, UV / fluorescent paint that just makes things look EPIC!! The idea is to just get out there, take a risk, get a bit grubby and have fun.
Let color go feral!!

Graffiti is all about layers
I've grown to learn that Graffiti is all about layer. In order to get the affect you are looking for you need to start with a base and work your way over this base. THis is why I need a zillion cans of paint. The idea is to get your basic design down first and then layer your design starting with darker colours and working your way into lighter colours, focusing on accents and highlights so that your design has contrast.
A big lesson for me is that graffiti is NOT permanent! and nor should it be! its very much in the moment, so ive since sprayed over this design several times because i know not to be too attached. The chaos buny is one of many designs that have been sprayed on this wall, and by this point its under about 10 layers of paint. BUT STILL LIVES ON!
Library of Weird and Wonderful
Over the last couple of years I've had friends and colleagues reach out asking for pieces. i make them as and when i can. Some of them end up being VERY special and they are ALL one of a kind. I've learnt to map themes to the designs, which is fun. There are so many little secrets in each piece, hinting at stories with each person. They are so fun and SO different - And a little weird, but hey, that's what makes them special.
01
Punk Rock Rose
Artist - Chris
Commissioned for a friend on request, this is a mixture of spray paint at the base, with UV paint as an overlay, moved around and positioned using a pallet knife. the piece is totally unique to him as it matches one of his tattoos and has a very special personal message.

A gift for my gal
Artist - Chris
A gift for my favorite human! Black canvas with various spray paint overlays.Used base fluorescent paints and then highlighted with lighter fluorescent paint accents. I kept the drip effect because it looks a little more gritty.
SOLD

Cooky and Polly Anniversary
Artist - Chris
A gift for pone of my greatest friends and his wife to celebrate their anniversary. This wasd a base of spray paint with pour art and then attacked it with a hair dryer to spread the paint into the "Spikes" or fan (depending on your interpretation).
SOLD
04
Calm and Chaos
Artist - Chris
This was during a very weird, emotional patch on uncertainty. I was still learning about how I felt about a certain situation so i took it out on the canvas so to speak. This is hanging safely in our lounge in Seattle. it has MANY strong memories.
SOLD

Aliens on Acid
Artist - Chris
I actually still don't know which way is "up" on this one. I saw this cool technique on some video and i HAD to try it. I used a dust pan and pour paint for the pathway and then used spray paint (heavy amounts) to get the drips. Either way, i think this one was a lot of fun and it proudly lives at my friends Seth and Sherena's house.
SOLD
06
Aliens AFTER Acid
Artist - Chris
YAH, I cant explain this one TBH! I didn't hold back on the drip effect and went a little nuts. I actually have NO idea where this one is, i drunkenly gave it to someone who came over and asked for it. Honestly, I was experimenting and flinging paint everywhere.... I want to try this again!
SOLD

Fireworks Closer
Artist - Chris
Probably one of the more early pieces I dud where i got hold of some VERY thick pour paint and then attempted to move it around, then thought, "Screw this", got hold of the hair dryer (which is now full of paint) and a pallet knife and had a load of fun. There is a very faint spray paint backing to this.

Cute "AF"
Artist - Chris
This is an anniversary piece for Lovelet! It hangs proudly on our wall in Seattle and has a UV light positioned underneath it to make it POP in the evenings. This piece was strange because i originally hadn't intended on the drip effect but in leaving it to "do its thing" I really started to like it. The UV light brings a whole new experience.
SOLD
09
Static Noise
Artist - Chris
I went through this phase where i loved adding metallic paint to pretty much all pieces. A friend asked me for Black, White, Red and Gold.... and obviously i was sold, so this was the outcome. What was funny about this piece is i was running around the yard flapping it about, trying to get that cool "static" effect you see with the black and white.
SOLD

Abstract Rose
Artist - Chris
Zero restraint on this one, which was part of the experiment. What ends up happening a lot of the time is ill do a cool piece for someone and then think... HMM, what if I just F*ck with the process entirely and fling layers of colour onto a canvas with less of a plan. The joy of art is that you get to be creative with no permission required.
SOLD

Declaration of Love
Artist - Chris
I think this was probably one of the most fun pieces i got to do. Another for Lovelet, but this lives in the house in the UK. I LOVE sweary art! I think its my inner desire to provoke people to think a little outside of the lines, which is EXACTLY what this is! This led the charge for a number of other particularly sweary pieces :D #NotSorry
SOLD

F*ck Symmetry
Artist - Chris
Told you I like a sweary piece of art :D This involved a LOT of spray paint and a LOT of UV paint. Whats different here is I used UV Art tape... which was new to me and I think it gives it a cool texture and feel. Genuinely, I just had a LOT of fun with this piece and I kept it because i think it is very much a representation of what goes on in my brain :D

A Galaxy far, far away
Artist - Chris
This is an interesting piece because it seems so simple at first but there are many layers to this and because of the light red spray overlay to the deep fluorescent blue the piece actually feels 3D when you see it in person. Its the piece that gets the most "Walk closer" views because of the depth of layering. Its a personal favorite of mine.

Rupture in Reality
Artist - Chris
This isn’t a painting you look at.
This is a wall that finally gave up holding everything back.
“Rupture in Reality” captures the exact moment imagination breaks containment — where concrete cracks, structure fails, and raw, feral colour spills through the surface. What starts as order — brick, lines, rules — gets overwhelmed by something deeper, louder, and impossible to ignore.
There’s graffiti in here. There’s glitch. There’s pressure.
And right at the edge of it all — one word:
IMAGINE.
But this isn’t soft, dreamy imagination.
This is imagination under stress.
Imagination clawing its way out.
Under UV light, the piece transforms again — hidden layers ignite, neon tones vibrate, and the entire surface feels alive, like it’s still evolving long after it was first created.

What you’re buying
A physical reminder that structure is temporary —
but expression always finds a way through.
If walls could talk, this one would scream.

Colour Cage Fight
Artist - Chris
I love how some colours just LOVE being near each other and some don't. Its as if each one has its own personality. This is the case when doing pour and blow aren't. Some colours just ARENT friends. No matter what i do with the mixtures and additives, they just fight. They may match from a visual perspective but dam do they argue. SO i put them all on one canvas and let them have it out... there was a hair dryer involved in this battle! And a LOT of mess!
SOLD

Fireworks by the Pond
Artist - Chris
I don't do a lot of "Real World" stuff i my art but i like ponds and trees... SO here we have PONDS, TREES and FIREWORKS... and maybe fire flies. I dunno... I just wanted to try my hand at doing something different and I REALLY enjoyed it!
I like the contrast between the non UV and the UV version of these because there is a different feeling to them.
The technique here is also a little different and a LOT of work with a pallet knife to make the bristles on the trees. There is also a LOT of colour mixing in the pallet knife work to get textures.
This pic was done for a friend of mine who sketches and does amazing work so i thought id colour outside of the lines for him a bit :D
SOLD

Chromatic Drift
Artist - Chris
This piece doesn’t sit still.
It moves. It mutates. It refuses to behave.
“Chromatic Drift” is what happens when colour stops asking permission.
From a distance, it feels like a map — oceans, currents, fault lines.
Up close, it’s chaos — cells splitting, pressure shifting, pigment colliding in real time. There’s no fixed direction, no clean edge. Everything is in motion, like you’ve frozen a moment just before it spills beyond the canvas.
Then the lights change.
Under UV, a second world wakes up.
Hidden frequencies start screaming through — neon veins, electric fractures, colour that shouldn’t exist in daylight suddenly demanding attention. It’s the same piece… but it isn’t.
Two realities.
One surface.

Request a piece
I do take requests! YES! No piece is the same, and I don't do prints. It's all handmade, from scratch, in Trash Panda Studios (the sketchy art studio garage). I ask you for a theme (hobbies, things you love, "What's your Thing") and I'll base the piece on that. People send me pics of all sorts (nothing sketchy) and I just roll from there... OR you can let me choose the theme, and ill do that based on what i know about YOU!
You don't get to see the piece until it lands up on your front doorstep. It needs to be a complete surprise! AND there are no edits, no colour changes and no "takesies backsies".... Once its done, its done. I'm not a graphic design company :D The point of the exercise is that YOU have something completely unique that is NOT AI inspired or generated. AND its completely different... because in these crazy times we need a little bit of colourful weird in our lives.
I do need to fund my paint, canvas, equipment and postage fees so pop me a message and lets work out a price that's affordable for YOU! I want this to be accessible to everyone.
Fill in the form below and ill get back to you ASAP!
The Artists
In our Fam, we are SO lucky to have some VERY talented and creative people who LOVE to make stuff and experiment. Give us a canvas, and we will make something cool! When we see a different medium, we will give it a go and, well, let's see what happens. Some of our creativity crosses over into each other's pieces, and some end up being totally different.
