Death Alligator; by @mrleontaylor . Alligators are far less aggressive than Crocodiles. Often will not attack unless provoked. Alligators are faster, smaller, smarter and can leap out of water for food. They are something else and it is my spirit animal. What is yours ? A painting from yesterday morning before starting painting for the day. #art #artist #digitalart #alligator #alligatorpainting #paint #painting #newbrushes #swimming https://www.instagram.com/p/B04Brwzpnyk/?igshid=yw4v60w9pavs

Sacredos Tenuem ( Latin for Phantom Priest) by @mrleontaylor : Sacredos sits between heaven and hell and has ultimate judgement. Persist beyond realism is the human default. Expelled by light, soggy mould fills darkness. Time has no peace as the universe turns. #art #artwork #phantompreist #design #vision #paint #painting #concept #conceptual https://www.instagram.com/p/B0y3-DVHhrb/?igshid=13tqa9b63kslt

Meet @Pouya ! Coming to New Zealand in September and bringing his unique hip hop/trap to the @powerstation_nz .

@shakewell818 & @therealfatnick have been on since I heard PEMEX. Bringing at refreshment to my ears I had been looking for. Fan Art is so fun and I always get a kick out of turning people into cartoons. #shakewell818 #shakewell #fatnick #therealfatnick #buffetboys #bigboisrule #art #fanart #drawing #ink #pencil #mrleontaylor #cartoon https://www.instagram.com/p/BzMBvZmp7T-/?igshid=zg4t9njembx2

I adore it when you design something and then get sent one in your size. Thanks @chronic_shnxman for the journey so far. #mrleontaylor #chronicshnxman #art #logo #merch #album #artwork #artist #design #notanaverageman #3XL #yetiman #grownmen #bigboisrule #100club #dontbeaverage #youbeyou https://www.instagram.com/p/By0pUdeJBzL/?igshid=1q4wl9p5fs3tb

St Kevin’s at Night: by @mrleontaylor Living in Auckland means a forever changing landscape in our young city. I love K Rd. There is no other place like it in Auckland and where I often feel safest. It’s where outcasts get to be themselves and St Kevin’s Arcade is a home to many. Thought it was the perfect lighting study, that was challenging and rewarding. I’m not sure how long this awesome place will be around but good to paint while it’s still here. #krd #auckland #aucklandcity #nightlife #painting #newzealand #karangahaperoad #giglife #paintings #lightstudies #nzartists #lighting #lovekrd #whammybar #lordofthefries https://www.instagram.com/p/BylrKEFpuid/?igshid=pxpj5duqdl4b

Had the pleasure of working with hard rock outfit @primacy_band this year creating this artwork for their single ‘Bottleneck’ Out 24th May. I really enjoy working with Jared and Primacy, we bounce ideas around and enjoying hitting the mark. Beautiful but tragic when you take a closer look. Checkout the details and the first rough idea before I painted the details 🤘🏽. #bottleneck #artwork #primacy #altrock #design #dear #bush #river #water #deadanimal #deadfish #bleak #painting #digitalart #single #layout #art #artist #newzealandartist https://www.instagram.com/p/BxyEQydHQ04/?igshid=32eunwazzfjs

Proud to be a part of the new movement in New Zealand music working with @chronic_shnxman to bring only the best and most brutal. Had the pleasure of designing the logo and album cover for #mixtape3 that has a massive 20 tracks. It’s time to get on board old heads. Trap is only just beginning and you don’t want to miss it. #art #artwork #albumcover #album #chronicshnxman #trap #nztrap #hiphop #concept #conceptualart #design #burning #flesh #crispy #linework #mrleontaylor #takingover #logo #brutal #nvrsft https://www.instagram.com/p/BxeDCQ1lKiX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lg7go5wazzfd

SNEAK PEEK: I’ve been working with @primacy_band for their new single and it’s something super special and one I can’t wait to share with you. Hit me up to make images people never forget.

Birds Eye View (1 of 2) is going to be a part of @rmhcnewzealand to bring some brightness to some empty walls. This is a huge project I started 20 months ago with over 30 pieces.

Brittle Husk - Work In Progress; by @mrleontaylor Grey vivid nightmares induct the decreased experience. Step closer to the holes and know the incision. Husk and brittle it collapses at the helm of perfection. #art #artist #painting #paintings #darksurealism #darkartist #putrid #yummy #husk #brittle #timeexpires https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwkyd-cBSpi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l4sonz45bwwb
