“The Sea Remembers…” — from the Sea Cycle Universe™

At Luker Arts Studio, we bring art that inspires to life — drawing from the sea’s mysteries, the passage of time, and the courage of those who navigate its waters.
Founded by author and artist L. J. Rigby, the studio merges traditional illustration, painting, and storytelling to create contemporary art that evokes imagination and emotion. From maritime fantasy art to illustrated books and fine art prints, each piece is crafted with depth, detail, and meaning.
Our mission at Luker Arts is to celebrate creativity in all its forms — sharing worlds born from history, legend, and heart. Whether through a painting, a poem, or a story, we invite you to explore the beauty of imagination and the enduring power of the sea.

L. J. Rigby is an author and artist from Portsmouth, a city rich in naval history and legends of the sea. His lifelong fascination with maritime tales, ghostly myths, and the timeless pull of the ocean inspired him to create The Pirate Queen’s Voyage and the expanding Sea Cycle Universe — a collection of interwoven stories exploring courage, memory, and the mysteries of the deep.
After overcoming a difficult period in his life, Rigby turned to art and storytelling as both a means of healing and self-discovery. What began as a personal escape soon evolved into a creative passion for contemporary art that inspires — blending fantasy, history, and myth to tell stories of redemption, fate, and the sea’s eternal balance.
Through his studio, Luker Arts, he combines his writing and visual art to craft immersive worlds where words and images work together to evoke atmosphere, emotion, and depth. His work celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the unspoken dialogue between man and the sea.
At Luker Arts, we create contemporary art that inspires through captivating stories, stunning artwork, and visual experiences that explore imagination, courage, and the mysteries of the sea. From illustrated novels and fine-art prints to behind-the-scenes sketches and creative journals, each piece invites you into a realm where art that inspires and storytelling intertwine. Our content is crafted to ignite the passions of dreamers, collectors, and creators alike — offering glimpses into the Sea Cycle Universe and the artistry that brings it to life.
