Ghost Rider by Eranga Devasurendra

Sooooooo…. I say this a lot.. but friends in this hobby are the best part of it. Going to NYCC this year I really only wanted to do a couple things.., one of those things was getting a sketch of Ghost Rider by one of my favorite artists growing up .. I worked on lining it up before the show and seamed to have all my ducks in a row. I was pretty excited and shared what was going on with buddy Eranga , a fantastic published artist in his own right, but also a fan boy like me. I went as far as printing up some boards with a GR logo and everything! At the show I was where I needed to be when I needed to be but to my dismay the artist I wanted didn’t show up! Totally bummed it didn’t work out.. but after the show a bunch of us went to dinner at a mutual friends house and half joking around with Eranga I said well maybe you can do something with this printed board. Hahah joke joke … but as only a true friend would do … Eranga coming to the show as only a fan , having no art tools with him and a wicked hangover from partying it up… went the Frank Cho route and picked up the Hilton ball point pen in his hotel room and came up with this awesome rendition of the spirit of vengeance! And years from now when an Eranga Ballpoint illustration becomes a thing .. I can say I have the first!! Thank you so much Eranga not only for the art but being a fantastic friend!
