I was asked by Shrewsbury BID to illustrate a ghostly flyer and way-finding totems for the half-term Halloween trail in Shrewsbury. I chose to set the scene at one of Shrewsbury's iconic bridges (the English Bridge - which is always very glowy and sparkly at night) and incorporate in a sleeping swan and some magical ghosts above. I felt that the presence of the sleeping swan signifies that these ghosts are peaceful, not scary.
The trail also featured seventeen large ghost windows, inspired by local ghost stories, that I live-painted in acrylic paint on participating shop and business windows.
Here are some of the 17 ghosts from the trail:
And here are some behind the scenes photographs of me painting the windows:
