Egon Spengler’s delightful inventions are part of what make Ghostbusters such a great franchise – but what if Egon decided to patent the likes of the Proton Pack or his Ghost trap? Artist Timothy Anderson imagined just that with these stylishly minimalist prints.

Anderson’s created 3 8×10 prints depicting patent imagery for the Ghost Trap, the Proton Pack and the PKE Meter that wouldn’t look out of place on any sort of patent document – despite the fact they’re for ghost-hunting tools.

You can buy the prints (and prints of the rest of his work) in Anderson’s BigCartel store for $30 each, or $84 for all three – but be warned, they’re a very limited run. The Proton pack print has already sold out!
