The story

Some Like It Yacht

Big personalities. Fabulous outfits. One very small boat.

Some Like It Yacht brings the glamour and comic chaos of Some Like It Hot to the glowing canals of Venice. Two extravagantly dressed jazz musicians attempt a stylish escape, squeezed into a wooden boat with a saxophone, billowing feathers and cocktails they’re determined not to spill.

Behind them, a waterfront nightclub glows with amber light, casting golden reflections across rich turquoise water. Scarlet feathers, shimmering costumes and expressive glances capture a moment where Hollywood elegance meets rather questionable travel arrangements.

Painted in acrylic on canvas, layered colour and raised paint details bring texture and movement to this playful cinematic scene. A characterful statement piece, full of nostalgia, mischief and the unmistakable feeling that somebody should have booked a bigger boat.

Concept & inspiration

Some Like It Yacht takes the glamour, mischief and mistaken identities of the classic film Some Like It Hot and squeezes them into a boat that clearly wasn’t booked with the costumes in mind.

Swapping the film’s sunny seaside setting for the glowing canals of Venice, two extravagantly dressed jazz musicians attempt a stylish getaway with feathers, a saxophone and cocktails in tow. Unfortunately, their grand entrance—or discreet escape—is undermined by a vessel barely big enough for the pair, let alone their stage wardrobes.

Rich reds, shimmering golds and turquoise reflections capture the romance of a waterfront nightclub, while anxious glances and precariously balanced martinis bring the comedy to life. It’s a celebration of old Hollywood excess, where the outfits are fabulous, the drinks are essential, and somebody really should have ordered a bigger boat.

Process

Painted in acrylic on canvas, using layers of rich colour and expressive brushwork to create depth, movement and texture. Raised paint details catch the light, bringing a tactile quality to the cinematic composition.
