Ghost Girl Black by Matt Siren & MPHLabs

Ghost Girl was born out of two loves, the female form (specifically the face), and the Ms. Pac-Man video game (specifically the ghosts). Originally two separate designs that were combined out of experimentation, the end result proved to be iconic and widely recognizable. Derived from street artist Matt Siren's classic two dimensional graphic representation, Ghost Girl comes to life in vinyl form as three dimensional character art.

6" tall vinyl figure made by MPHLabs.

About Matt Siren:
Matt Siren is an illustrator and street artist based in Queens, NY. His art is heavily stimulated by images from the 80's such as cartoons, video games, graffiti, heavy metal cd covers, posters in the Art Nouveau style, pinup and the emergence of modern day (computer generated) graphic design & branding. His work is iconic - both clean and gritty, using clean lines over textural backgrounds. In 2005, he created "Ghost Girl" as his signature icon in representing his current work. Matt's work can been seen in clothing lines by Better Days Clothing, skateboards by Reciprocal Skateboards, RoyalFlush Magazine, numerous galleries in the NYC area, as well as throughout the streets of Manhattan.
