Ricky’s having really weird dreams, which lead to him to make surreal art including giant hands and a burger hat inspired by Rene Magritte. After scoffing some cheesy snacks Ricky and Gavin both fall asleep and instead of his “Ninja”, Ricky gets his “pyjamas on” to create some illuminating dream art.

Gavin thinks that he could get rich and famous by filming a vlog about being the Art Ninja’s annoying best friend. Ricky wants in… but not before creating a graffiti pin board and a camera print inspired by Andy Warhol. To score a load of likes they decide to make an unforgettable pixel picture with memo notes, but will their art go viral?

Sarah’s bought a onesie that turns her invisible and she and Ricky use it to plays tricks on Gav. Ricky conjures a geometric kite design and fashions a stained glass rocket inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, before heading off to rescue Dad who’s got tangled up at the campsite. This inspires Ricky to use guy ropes to make intense art with a heroic twist.

Ricky’s always wanted to be a spy, but when he starts receiving mysterious phone calls full of code words he’s not so sure. Making a secret book and selfie collage inspired by David Hockney, he agrees to a rendezvous at the Tate Modern where he makes art that’s licensed to thrill.

Ricky researches his family history to uncover his ninja ancestors. He is inspired by Grayson Perry to make an autobiographical vase and a photo frame that’s less family tree, more family cactus, before Ricky discovers that he’s descended from a famous pirate. Can he make some arrrr-t to treasure at the seaside?

After the local auditions for a TV talent show are cancelled, Gavin transforms the flat into a studio and Ricky into a celebrity judge. Ricky makes a drum kit desk tidy and a bowl inspired by Matisse, whilst Sarah and Rich try to prove that Bristol’s got talent with some dodgy singing and magic. Deciding they were rubbish, Ricky then uses his skills to make epic art that’s anything but trashy.

Ricky wishes he could go back in time after spilling paint on a priceless rug and when he downloads “App to the Future” he realises that anything is possible! Ricky meets Gaudi to make a Salt Dough Lizard and also learns how to create wings for his shoes, plus he produces art with vacuum cleaners that definitely doesn’t suck.

Ricky is reminded of his childhood pet Mr. Chicken. After creating Picasso inspired art on an egg box he decides to fly like a bird making an ingenious collage to help him find his old feathered friend.

Ricky can’t go out because of the rain. He makes a water picture inspired by Turner, as well as a ‘Whatever the Weather Hat’. When it turns out the weather isn’t so bad, it inspire him to make art using a hose pipe and luminous paint.
