Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Thank you, Florence, really pleased you like it. The image started off very different, but as I experimented I began to notice certain elements worked particularly well together, and now I'm planning on trying more images like this. 010

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I used one of my landscape photos for the background and stock images of brush strokes for the figures. To have more variety, I now plan to scan my own hand-painted strokes to use in future work. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #collageart #digitalcollage #digitalart #narrativeart #figurative 2250
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I saw this film recently, and was really surprised at just how much I loved it - it left a feeling in me that lingered for days. 'You, the Living' was just as good too, I especially liked the dream sequence near the end, where the groom was playing a guitar as the landscape moved passed the window. 110
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ouh, I love this, it's a great idea. I may have to try and create something similar using a photo of a hairdryer, and then altering it to make a robot head - thanks for the inspiration. 010

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I used some of my landscape photos to create the background of this, chopping the sky into sections to create an uneasy atmosphere. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #collageart #digitalcollage #digitalcollageart #digitalart #narrativeart #creepy #horror #landscapephotography 4351
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I bought the deluxe edition with all 12 issues in, and started it over the weekend - it's great so far. 000
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I love the light on this one, very reminiscent of some of the art - by Álvaro Martínez - in 'The Nice House on the Lake' comics. 100

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A friend suggested I try creating some art based on my fave songs and their lyrics, so I thought I would give it a go - this one is inspired by New Order's 'Leave Me Alone'. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #digitalcollage #digitalart #conceptualart #visualpoetry #narrativeart #musicart #neworder 2290
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This is great, I love the colours and the long shadows of the people - it has given me some inspiration for one of my next images. 100
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Digital image created in PS with free stock images, and words digitally cut out from scanned text from the novel 'The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch' by Philip K. Dick, which I rearranged to form a new sentence. 020
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 20/09/2026This image underwent many changes before I finally settled on a concept, but I am pleased with the final result and feel it fits in with the rest of this series. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #digitalcollage #digitalart #conceptualart #visualpoetry #poetry #bnwart #narrativeart 3260
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I read somewhere that if a person could save 100k a year, it would take a decade to save a million, but it would take 10,000 years to save a billion - it's a huge difference. 1131
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I wonder why that is, I'm glad it isn't blurry for you though, thanks. I know that Bluesky does compress images a bit for various reasons, so maybe in future I'll share it as a slightly smaller file size just in case. 010
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Haha, I'll take that as a compliment, thank you. I'm still having issues with it looking blurry though, as when I click on the image to enlarge it the face doesn't look as sharp as it should. Not sure what's happening, I've not changed the file size or anything, and it looks ok on Facebook. 🤔 110

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I wasn't happy with the version of this I posted Saturday, so I made some changes, and feel it flows better now. Hope it uploads ok, as it looked blurry when I tried yesterday. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #digitalcollage #digitalart #conceptualart #visualpoetry #poetry #narrativeart #cyberpunk 5230

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Thank you for your kind words, Florence. I'm really happy with how this image came out, I feel that I managed to express my idea better than planned. 110

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I wanted to continue with this series of images as I found this style gave me more freedom to express my thoughts on current affairs without getting too political. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #digitalcollage #digitalart #conceptualart #visualpoetry #poetry #bnwart #narrativeart #cyberpunk 3352
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I'd happily live in a place like that in the middle of the woods, and with a lake near by - so peaceful. 210
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I haven't made a film post for a few months, but these are some of my recent watches that I can recommend... #films #cinema #worldcinema #anime #japanesecinema #christianpetzold #davidlowery #satoshikon #shinjisomai 0110
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Is that the corner of a mirror in a tiled room? It works so amazing well, I love it - nice shot. 110
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 02/09/2026That's one part of the idea, the loss of innocence, and how the world looks more bleak through adult eyes. The main thing I wanted to do was portray a "sinking" world, and the violinist is playing until the last moment, just like the musicians on the Titanic. 010
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Thank you for your words, glad the image has that effect. I think I may try and do more like this, as I find it a good way to express how I'm feeling about current affairs without getting too political. 110

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I struggled to translate my idea for this piece in my usual way, but then realised I could create it in the style I tried a fortnight ago - it also works as a companion piece to that image. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #digitalcollage #digitalart #conceptualart #visualpoetry #poetry #bnwart 3260
Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 01/09/2026While working on another idea I had, I inadvertently created this image. I will return to the original design, but for now I wanted to share this. #art #artist #bskyart #photomanipulation #photoshop #digitalart #scifi #scifiart #narrativeart #sciencefiction #sciencefictionart #lovecraftian 2250

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I had a bit of a creative block when I started this - hence a person launching a monitor - but as it came together, I was really happy with the look. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #collageart #digitalcollage #digitalcollageart #digitalart 1200

Jim Ritchie @jimritchieart.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I started with a very different idea for this, but as it came together, I really liked the way it looked. I did try adding colour to it; however, that just took away from the overall mood. #art #artist #bskyart #collage #collageart #digitalcollage #digitalcollageart #digitalart #bnwart 1280
