Cincinnati, OH – The Ghost Empire Collective, a group of local tri-state artists who show artwork together, will be hosting their first show of 2013 on Opening Day. It will feature live art and artwork by illustrator/poster designer Jaimie Filer, photographer/visual artist Snotty RLE, videographer/visual artist Justin K. Hite, illustrator Christina Wald, painter Doug Meyer, designer Justin Barraclough, artist Brian Lalley, artist Sarah Timmerman, visual artist/Ghost Empire founder Anthony “Tank” Mansfield, and many more.
This will mark Ghost Empire’s first show of the calendar year. The group has had successful shows at The Famous Neon’s Unplugged, MOTR Pub, The Avenue, 3 Kings, and Mainstay Rock Bar in 2012 and participated in the launch night of Avengers vs. X-Men at Arcadian Comics & Games. The group will hang the show salon style and will be showcasing artwork that is based upon Mr. Red Legs, famous Reds, and historic moments in Reds’ history.
“Opening Day is one of the biggest events in Cincinnati. It is something the entire city turns out for and we wanted to be a part of it.” Mansfield said. “The Reds have had a countless number of memorable moments and players through out the years, plus Mr. Red Legs is one of the most iconic mascots in all of sports and we wanted to honor all of these things.” Mansfield stated. The Ghost Empire Collective will be doing live art through out the day, literally creating drawings and paintings from scratch during the show. Prints of some of the artwork and shirts will be for sale (credit cards are accepted). There are many ways to spend Opening Day but its hard to beat sitting on the patio at Neons, sipping cold cocktails, surrounded by original Cincinnati Reds art, and watching the game outdoors on a massive flat screen.
Tank and Jaimie are headed to the City of Angels on Feb. 23rd for the annual “Eat Your Art Out” show. This yearly event is curated by Jane Dope and benefits the Angel City Roller Girls. We will be uploading images of our trip once we get back so be on the look out for those.

Check it out Tank is featured on Comicsalliance.com’s Best Art Ever This Week and sharing that honor with some major heavy hitters. They featured his piece “Target Practice”. Thanks guys for the support!
We decided the best way to celebrate our first year of working together would be to do a large mural together. Kurt donated 3 old canvases for us to paint over and we constructed this gigantic 5 feet tall by 9 feet wide painting.

The group will hang the show salon style and will be showcasing both new and older work at reduced prices.
“Thanksgiving has become my favorite holiday as it centers around eating, drinking, watching football, sleeping, and reconnecting with family and friends” said Mansfield. In the spirit of Black Friday, the group will be selling original pieces of art, shirts, posters, and prints at reduced prices. “People love going out to bars on Black Friday to catch up with friends and steer clear of the mall. We want to give people who are visiting from out of town a great show that they won’t see anywhere else and at the same time offer cool artwork that make special, one of kind presents for the holidays” Mansfield stated. So save the left over turkey for Saturday afternoon, strap on your drinking boots, and get ready for another great show by Ghost Empire Collective.
