Who You Gonna Call Now? (Ghostbusters) - Canvas Limited Edition
£1,195.00
- I absolutely loved this film as a kid and still do, it is such a great film! For this piece I have tried to not try and go too conceptual, instead just set a scene that people can easily associate to the film and characters.
Basically we see the Ghostbusters HQ at the point where the business is done for and they’ve stopped trying to help the city that they love. As with the film, the good that they they were trying to do was a battle against those who didn’t believe, who wanted to shut them down so it has reached the point where enough is enough and they’ve caught their last ghost. They put their lives on the line from the start and this is the result, their attitude has turned to hate towards those who have brought them to this point so they are ready to undo all the good work that they’ve done, basically bollocks to NYC, have your ghosts back, deal with it yourselves, we’re out.
So my piece shows the impact of that, showing key objects from their work littered about the building in a state of neglect, the wonderfully iconic ECTO 1 sits partly obscured behind a wall, done this way to look almost insignificant despite it’s stature. Computers sit smashed, filing cabinets with drawers flung open, hints of a quick departure are there through the subtle signs of a welders torch left on, just enough time to open the trap and unleash the ghosts back into the city.
The ghosts themselves are represented by beautifully lit details that interact with key elements within the scene, in complete contrast to the evil that lurks from within the basement and that is spilling outwards up the stairs. I always remember the vivid colours from the Proton Packs and the ghosts so I wanted to embrace that through use of these colours throughout the piece that contrast against the sombre mood of the scene itself. The walls show feint signs of faded murals that add to the history and intrigue of the building, and the light spilling into the room as with other pieces represents hope and the possibility that maybe all is not lost.
For me the piece is a different yet clearly recognisable take on an absolute classic film that embraces the fact that the featured ghosts weren’t actually that scary, apart from the odd one, or two!

The Memory Remains 2 - 1000 Piece Jigsaw
-
Well, well, well! Mark's first jigsaw puzzle! Another format that is just the perfect fit for the interactive qualities of his work.
Is there a better image to feature as Mark's first limited edition jigsaw puzzle than the highly sought after and long sold out 'The Memory Remains 2' from 2019? Feel free to tell us if you think there is because this is the first within a cracking collection in the future.
Mark's imagery are so often rammed full of detail and clues to solve that they are loved for how they bring people together to embrace their memories. Mark has always loved to set down clues within his art to help you try and determine the hidden narratives than exist, so creating an actual puzzle just seems the natural choice as we look to bring his work to a wider audience through exciting and engaging formats.
As with every element of his work, the focus has, and always will be on delivering quality, to best represent his art and retain that limited edition quality that is so well respected and successful.
So, we are excited to offer a beautifully vibrant limited edition, 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle that is proudly made in the UK by a leading specialist manufacturer who's sustainability efforts are a key quality of their business. The standard clear polybag the jigsaws come in is 100% recyclable, their millboard used for the actual jigsaws is 100% recycled, their ink is sourced in the UK and is vegan, and all their paper used in production is Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) paper sourced from FSC & PEFC sources.
Not bad eh! In addition to this, your jigsaw puzzle is strictly limited to 100 and comes with Mark's hand signed narrative card and certificate of authenticity. Should you wish for the box tray lid to be signed by Mark, this can be done by removing the protective shrink wrapping that each puzzle comes in.
100% quality, 100% enjoyment!
The first jigsaws will be arriving with us at the start of December and will be then available for either collection or delivery.
