You can’t describe Ghostpatrol in one paragraph. Over a couple of years of the most regular contact I have had with any graffiti writer GP is as hard to truly understand now as on day one.
Incredibly innovative and driven by creative impulses, with an infinite injection of energy, GP will always surprise. He sculpts, paints, draws and sews. GP works with whatever media he can find or afford to purchase including but not limited to spray cans, paper, pens, markers, wood,
clay and so on. He has so many fingers in different creative pies he could be an octopus.
He pen and ink drawings are delicate, rapidly produced and yet are meticulous in their detail and always bordering on the darker side of our nature. Conversely his large paste-ups are simple in design, but highly effective in capturing your attention.
He has a deep-seated sense of the ironic, and an almost black satirical humour – the monthly hard-rubbish collections are dotted with his anecdotal commentaries. Not noted for sculpture at this stage of his development, GP will for sure venture into this arena also, and when he does he will sculpt big. Ghostpatrol in a few words – dark, moody, energetic and passionate. He knows what he wants and he knows how to realise his dreams.
