A portrait of two legends one mythical, one real fused into a single, unforgettable image.
In this hand-pulled silk-screen print, I’ve transformed Marilyn Monroe, the ultimate icon of Hollywood glamour, into Medusa, the ancient figure whose beauty and tragedy turned to stone anyone who met her gaze.
The piece is printed in deep black ink, then finished with diamond dust so it catches the light like shattered stars. The glittering surface draws you in, while the myth beneath unsettles: fame as a curse, beauty as power, death as spectacle.
Marilyn was adored by millions yet destroyed by the same machine that made her a star. Medusa was worshipped and feared, punished for her beauty. Both embody the double-edged blade of desire and myth.
This print isn’t just decorative; it’s a statement about how culture elevates women to icons, then consumes them.
It’s death and glamour in one unforgettable image... sharp, bold, and contemporary.
A striking centrepiece for collectors who love pop art with teeth.

These prints are all hand pulled silk screen prints so each one has its own individual eccentricities that are intrinsic to this process.
This image developed from a big painting 8 x 10 meters - that was over the entrance to Sunbridgewells Bradford and incorporated Andy Warhol's famous pop art Marilyn with a giant octopus inspired by Spectre the villains in James bond stories, the idea of an artist lair. This image takes the next step of making Marilyn the Medusa of myth.
All prints are sent out “Signed For”, within 7 working days.
