In Jul-Aug 2015, Lloyd's collection of Western Desert Aboriginal art formed the EarthSong exhibition at the McGlade Gallery which accompanied the Australian Catholic University's 25th anniversary conference, titled Grounding the Sacred. In Nov 2016, his collection of talismans, amulets and magical documents was exhibited at Macquarie University under the title TALISMANIA. This hands-on display illustrated the survival of magical traditions associated with Judaism, Christianity and Islam into recent times by presenting 74 artefacts (19th - 21st century) from the Middle East, Türkiye, the Levant, Africa, Eastern Europe and south-east Asia. In Aug 2017, Lloyd delivered a talk on the princess-priestesses of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to the University Students for Egyptological Research (USER) group at Macquarie University.
As a Continuing Education student in Macquarie's Dept. of Ancient History, Lloyd was a member of the three-person team that won the W.M.F. Petrie Award in 2016 (AHIS170: Introduction to Egyptian Archaeology, end-of-unit quiz). In 2017, he was awarded the Golden Obelisk (AHIS272: Ancient Egyptian Literature, end-of-unit performance).
Some of Lloyd’s digital art is featured on the Mythical Ireland website and has been used by the Royal Irish Academy. He designed the conference logo for the 10th Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigen Workshop (HLDA10), an international biomedical symposium held in 2014. Lloyd is also proud to have two oil paintings in the permanent collection of the Museum of Bad Art (MoBA) near Boston, MA, one of which is reproduced in the book Museum of Bad Art: Masterworks (2008), which was reissued as a paperback in 2021. Other art and photography projects can be seen in his deviantART gallery.
