Ghost by Amy Crook
What haunts you?
The inspiration from this image came from dozens of images of ghosts over many years. The faces pushing through the wall in Frighteners. Photographs of sheets with a vague sense of a human underneath that clearly show there is no one. The classic Halloween costume of a sheet with eye holes.
This ink is a beautiful pale grey with ghostly lavender undertones that worked perfectly to created the subtle shadows in this piece. Is it just a bunch of shapes, or is there really a face? Is that shadows against a wall, or is it really reaching out for you?

Ghost, detail, by Amy Crook
Above, you can see the detail of his serious, ghostly face. Below, he’s trapped in a frame, just waiting to spook up the right house.

Tentacle Deeps 23 by Amy Crook
It’s the ghost of tentacles past! Or possibly tentacles future. Who can tell.
There’s a subtle blue-violet tint to the background on this piece that comes through where the white paint picked up the background color.
