Lloyd Canning has based his artwork on visions associated with his extraterrestrial encounters.
The 33-year-old British artist claims that he was first abducted ten years ago while driving home in a van he had just purchased. During the journey he recalled witnessing a large round, shining object hovering in the sky above the road.
"As it passed over I was completely awestruck and I froze, I couldn't understand what had flown over me," he said. "It was a massive object, with no wings, and flew over without any sound."
Several days later Canning started to feel compelled to paint strange images that kept appearing in his mind. Before long he was 'receiving' these images on a regular basis and has since painted numerous works of art based on what he now believes to be a form of extraterrestrial channeling.
"Ever since that first sighting I have had these crazy visions that just come over me," he said. "When they happen it's like I don't have a choice - I just have to paint them."
Despite the unusual nature of his work however Canning's paintings have proven very popular and he has showcased them at several exhibitions and conventions.
"It's something that I think I have to tell people about, I think I was chosen because I was an artist, and they know they could channel through me," he said.
He was amazed when he saw a huge round shining spacecraft flying overhead and later that night he started to feel unwell.
As the anxiety built to a near "intolerable level" an image sprang into his mind, and he rushed to recreate the image in paint.
Lloyd, who lives with partner Sharon Pullem, claims he is sent a new alien-themed image almost every week and he has amassed a huge collection of work.
He said: "As it passed over I was completely awestruck and I froze, I couldn't understand what had flown over me.
"It was a massive object, with no wings, and flew over without any sound.
"It was a roundish shape, I couldn't see the whole craft, just the underbelly; it was absolutely massive.
"I kept my artwork secret until 2012. I had shown it to a few people, my friends and so on, but didn't feel ready to show it to the world.
"I had my first exhibition in April last year and since then I have exhibited in Manchester, the Cotswolds and Redditch.
"I met someone at a recent event in Leeds and he explained to me about channelling.
"He said to me 'there's a strong chance that you're being used by extra-terrestrials, they could be channelling through you'."
Lloyd, who is looking to host a one-man show in Los Angeles next year, added: "It's kind of a scary thought."
Nigel Watson, author of the Haynes manual into UFO investigations, said it was "quite common" for aliens to communicate in creative ways.
He said: "It's quite common for a UFO sighting to have life changing consequences.
"UFOs are not necessarily aliens, but instead could be beings from a parallel universe visiting through wormholes or portholes, or, they could be time travellers from the future.
"It's quite common for people to have telepathic messages, or they might do automatic writing, or, as in this case, illustrations and artwork.
"In a way if they are aliens trying to contact us, it would be logical that they wouldn't send us a text message, but might contact us through telepathy or other means."
