we're ghost academy

we like things that are funny or cute or quirky, and especially enjoy things that are all three at once. we try to combine those qualities in our wares and just generally create stuff that makes us smile.

a stockist once said “the thing about ghost academy is that their cards are really really cute but a lot of them are really sort of effed up too” and honestly that about sums it up. we make dark, silly, sweet greeting cards.

our cards are hand printed using a few simple tools and a lot of elbow grease. metaphorically though - literal elbow grease would be gross. someday we’re going to switch to letterpress (we’re getting too old for this tbh) but for now each and every card is hand printed press free in our studio.

megan

is the illustrator behind most of the cards. she grew up thinking she wanting to be an illustrator of childrens' books and never lost her love for the childlike wonder of simple, silly, and lovely illustrations. she loves strong minimal lines and daydreaming about how funny the little creatures she draws would look if they actually tried to move through a three dimensional world. her influences include sanrio, quentin blake, gfunk, etc etc.

matthew

started out as ghost academy's biggest fan and supporter back when we were a one-megan operation, and he eventually left his day job to head up our production department. he's a lean mean block printing machine but easily distracted by the internet, the cats, and what record he's going to put on next in the studio.
