Ghost Commission

Ghost are a Swedish rock band with an amazing, theatrical visual style. The whole band disguise themselves on stage and the singer, Tobias Forge, has played a number of characters over the years often incorporating faux religious vestments.

I was asked to paint the character above as a birthday present for the son of the client (and good friend).

The piece was a pleasure to do, bringing the image alive from the chaotic background. Check out grahamsteadart on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for a time-lapse video of the process.
