The context

This illustration shows the production imageboard, used during pre-production to direct the artwork of the film Ghost in the Shell and features the scene just after movie's main character, Major Kusanagi chased the villain down and out an empty alley. Due to the strong elements of action in the plot, after discussing the storyline with the director of the movie, Shuichi Kusamori wanted to convey a sense of freedom and liberty in his drawing.

Radiant White is a 100% cotton paper with a smooth, velvety surface texture which guarantees archival standards and brilliant colors. Its premium matt inkjet coating meets the highest standards regarding density, color gamut, color graduation and image sharpness. We selected this exclusive paper with our printing partner YPP because it not only yields fantastic results in terms of colour reproduction but also feels very close to the paper of the original artwork.
