Johnny Cupcakes (ex-On Broken Wings) selling "Ghostbusters" replica Vigo The Carpathian painting

Johnny Cupcakes Vigo

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.

Want to spruce up your business or office or home in a retro pop-culture way? Message me an offer — must pick up in Massachusetts.

Pathetic, shameful, deplorable guy

35 must be the hard cutoff point for that type of shoes

anonymous 55 days ago

Probably has gotten to the elder emo stage where everything is "rad" and his personality revolves around drinking and talking about artesian coffee. Also agreed….those shoes gotta stop at 35.

I saw Rick at Walmart with his boyfriend Ricky Martin (of gay) the other day. They bought some hot, melted cheese and a magazine about soft, furry kittens. Rick and Ricky (of gay) swaggered off to the self-checkouts with silver ice rockstar Energy Drinks in their hands. It was the last time I'd ever seen them. I will never get over it. I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SINCE THEN! I can't wrap my lips around it. Rick and Ricky (of gay) please come to Walmart again! They have delicious hot, melted cheese and magazines with soft, furry kittens! Also don't forget the tasty silver ice rockstar Energy Drinks! Please meet me at Walmart again! I will be posting this comment for the next 88 years.

Turns out being a scene douche doesnt pan out 20 years later. Have fun being a quirky asshole flipping burgers at Wendy's pal.

anonymous 55 days ago

embarrassing

anonymous 55 days ago

This is "news"? Beyond sad. I don't know what's worse - that this joke of a site has become FB Marketplace or that this simp Johnny Fruitcup's broke ass is being forced by his wife to hock movie memorabilia cuz his corny t-shirts don't sell anymore.

anonymous 55 days ago

That picture looks like John Brannon

anonymous 55 days ago

Rick's gay onlyfans is free for the next 30 days. I subscribed and he's currently sucking off anyone. If you DM him you can buy content where he shows you his asshole and jerks off on camera.

Why are you buying that garbage? "I can sell it when I run out of money"

anonymous 54 days ago

Could have just bought a $30 Vigo poster and framed it, no? I bet the asshole who painted this wouldn't even want it back.

anonymous 54 days ago

I cannot even imagine a world where this guy is not gay. Not even the slightest.

anonymous 54 days ago

This is why the white race is going extinct

Will spend the money on joke shop merch like whoopie cushions and rubber spiders. Anything to keep his fellow goofball (bassist from NFG) in stitches all day long.

What's with the Koreatown t-shirt? He looks like a cross between Gavin McInnes - John McClimans aka Dwid.

anonymous 54 days ago

This site is so f*cking cooked man. who is this even for. Who's reading Lambgoat thinking "man I hope they report on Johnny f*cking cupcakes selling a fake ghostbusters painting". Who the f*ck cares 100% this.

anonymous 54 days ago

Small peepees

anonymous 53 days ago

No initial offer means he wants way too much because an "artist" did it. Looks like shit. Not a replica. Revenue streams ended for the guy who pushed play in a metalcore band

anonymous 52 days ago

Back in the day, I thought I was so cool because I had the Ghostbusters 2 soundtrack on cassette featuring Bobby Brown's single "On Our Own." Now I'm old and gay.

anonymous 52 days ago

His wife gets bad sex from him. His ironic schtick has worn out and now he assed out.
