Johnny Cupcakes, former On Broken Wings keyboardist/sampler, and current t-shirt salesman and public speaker is officially closing up shop in Boston, and now it turns out he has also decided to part ways with a distinctive piece of art: a life-sized painting of Vigo The Carpathian from the "Ghostbusters" franchise. 

The commissioned canvas work, inspired by the character from the film's sequel, features the trademark eyes-follow-you-everywhere hallmark the original is known for, creating an unsettling presence that he says has reportedly affected his guests' ability to sleep when staying over. 

Since his wife has expressed reservations about keeping it, it's got to go. 

Johnny says:

What are some things I irresponsibly spent money on when my brand grew? It wasn't champagne or jewelry or race cars — one item was a life sized commissioned canvas painting of Ghostbusters' Vigo The Carpathian from the movie sequel.

The eyes would follow you and when friends slept over they, well, barely slept :)

Understandably, my partner does not want this in our house she said. I've held onto it for a long time and I'm now letting it go.
