PJ Reynolds

Some things deserve a second life.

A rusted road sign. A forgotten oil can. An icon from film, music or popular culture that still means something years after the credits rolled.

Dead Man's Brush is the art of PJ Reynolds.

Over a career spanning more than twenty-five years, PJ Reynolds has explored a diverse range of artistic disciplines, from tattooing and airbrush illustration to contemporary fine art. Regardless of the medium, his work is united by a fascination with imagery, craftsmanship and the stories that connect people to the objects, icons and ideas that resonate across generations.

Drawing inspiration from film, music, custom culture and the stories hidden within discarded materials, Dead Man's Brush transforms the overlooked into unique artistic statements. Road signs become canvases. Salvaged objects become artefacts. Scars, dents and imperfections become part of the story rather than something to be erased.

Alongside these reclaimed works, PJ's contemporary fine art explores portraiture and iconography, reinterpreting cultural figures and familiar imagery through a distinctive visual language. Combining stylised airbrushing with meticulous hand-crafted detailing, each piece balances technical precision with character, atmosphere and a strong sense of individuality.

Influenced by the impossible perspectives and visual paradoxes of M. C. Escher and the dreamlike symbolism of surrealist master Salvador Dalí, PJ's work often blurs the boundary between reality and imagination. These influences can be seen in layered compositions, unexpected visual narratives and imagery that invites the viewer to look beyond the surface and discover new details with every viewing.

Every piece is created by hand. Every piece is unique. Produced as original works rather than repeated editions, each artwork carries its own identity and story.
Just original artwork built from history, obsession and a belief that the best stories never really disappear.
