Ghostbusters 1 & 2
I was commissioned to paint my version of these movies, which for me are hugely important and had influenced me in so, so many levels. An absolute honour and such joy working on them! Originally, my paintings are done in oils on canvas, after a very long process of investigation on compositional ideas, references research and studies to get the vision in my head to a proper final result. Later on, these adapted into screen printed posters (including APs) using 14 inks each, separated by the incredible Juan Saniose and printed by VG Kids.
