Photo Recap: Johnny Vampotna “Ghost Noir” ~ Slow Culture

GhostNoir (16 of 16)

“Ghost Noir is a tribute to an encounter with an apparition the artist experienced inside the infamously haunted Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel. The incident has since inspired themes of the metaphysical both as a personal hobby and muse for his artwork. From roses to reapers, he investigates both the uncharted territory of the afterlife and the mundane beauty of daily rituals. Old fashioned tattoo methods fused with occult style motifs inspire this body of work to invoke a timeless feeling of American Gothic tradition.” - Slow Culture
