The Evolution of the G Man Banknote

April 2025

​

This gallery showcases the progression of the G Man Banknote, from the initial concept to its current stage—about two-thirds complete. Inspired by G Man: The Education of a Criminal, Greg Marshall’s autobiographical account, this piece captures the raw, uncompromising spirit of a man who lived—and ruled—on both sides of the prison walls.

G Man wasn’t just a criminal; he was a shot-caller, a high-powered prisoner, a notorious figure whose name carried weight. This artwork distills that intensity, bringing his story to life through intricate design and symbolism.

Stay tuned for further updates as the piece moves closer to completion.
