ILLUSTRATION & ART

BRAD RICHLEN BRANDS

As an Illustrator and Artist I am academically trained and culturally influenced. In 2012 I invented the Ghost Hand moniker as a way to explore my personal psyche and reality, an artistic identity that suggests and stresses the influences of play, memory, mimicry, and re-contextualization in the work I create. I treat Ghost Hand as a living entity and I have captured his visage a multitude of
times across various mediums. The character visually manifested itself as a dismembered human hand, the ever present invisible hand influencing my illustrations and artistic endeavors. Although, at times the characters I illustrate often have a real referent in pop culture or storytelling, they are decidedly the work of Ghost Hand.

Be yourself. The rest will follow.
