Branching Velocity 2025

I don’t use colour theory. I don’t need a wheel to spin the Earth.

In the studio (or more often, outside in the wind, mid-chaos), I choose colours like I’m choosing weapons. Electric blues, venom greens, reds that look like they burn skin. My palette isn’t designed for harmony it’s designed for velocity.

There is no natural light in my work. I chase the colours the sun can’t reach the tones that look like they come from an exploded billboard or a glitching sky. I don’t blend. I collide. Let other artists chase balance and warmth; I’ll take friction and fallout.

When I paint a landscape, I paint it like it’s mutating. When I paint the air, it crackles. My greens are toxic. My whites glow like radiation leaks. If you came looking for realism, try the next canvas over. If you want to feel a colour hit your brain before your eyes stay here.

This is not colour theory. This is colour insurgency.

This is The New Futurist Colour Code.

Materials I Use (and Trust)

Everything I make is handmade using high-quality, professional materials. If you want to try this for yourself—or just support the blast—here’s what I use:

Brushes

Gouache Set  55

  • Durable, responsive, and fierce enough for gouache

Colours

Wallace Seymour gouache

  • Not an affiliate, just obsessed. No chalky fillers. These paints move.

Paper

archers hot pressed

  • Hot-pressed, no filler, holds the glow. I mount it myself.

Some of these are affiliate links. That means if you buy through them, I get a small commission—at no extra cost to you. It keeps the brush in my hand and the colour loud.
