Kelly constantly experiments with different media and different styles. His compositions, which are usually large, have depicted images of beautiful ceramics to koi, (Japanese carp) to self portraits. His latest prints are combination of cement block, lithography or woodblock, and handcolouring. Most of his lithographs have woodblock colour plates on them, and many of his woodblocks include some lithography. He focuses on collage techniques to apply antique Japanese paper, gold leaf, and all manner of fibres to his compositions.
