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?

In the last couple of years, Ghost has made that leap. He had a successful show at our San Francisco store and other galleries throughout the world. He also had installations at our Honolulu and New York stores. It is only fitting that we make a book with the guy. His work speaks for itself. The humor and bugged out nature separates it from a lot of other graf based art. Ghost is the real deal. {Courtesy of Stussy.Com}
