Stussy World tour Ghost graffiti


GHOST PHOTO BOOK
We were first introduced to Ghost by Todd James during the Stussy World Tour in 2006. At the time, we didn’t know much about his work, but after some research, we reached out to the mysterious man known as Ghost to participate in the World Tour project.

Everyone we spoke to seemed really surprised that Ghost was still around. The piece from the World Tour documentary is a good example of who he is and what he’s about. His story had shades of redemption and this was his second chance. He was starting over, trying to break out from painting on walls and trains and move towards the canvas and galleries. It was interesting to hear someone speak honestly about going from graf writer to artist. His work in the street was dope but could it hang on a wall in a gallery?
