You Might ask WHY??

I KNOW you are asking Why would she create this.... Here is the story.
 At the park I took this motorcycle pic, just because back in 2008 i think.

A few nights later I recorded Ghost Rider. Hubby hates all thing ScyFi, so I watched it all alone. I was fascinated with the the  special effects of the blazing motorcycle. I love Sam Elliot and Nicolas Cage and they were the blazing stars.
 My brain kicked into what could i do with the bike in Microsoft Digital Image 9.... I cut the bike out
 I used Google to find the blazing man, and cut him out (not very good, but I was just learning)

then I started to CREATE and PLAY and CLONE and Cut and Paste and what oh what could I put him ON so i found this photo taken on Christmas morning several years ago and here we are with the perfectly useless creation at the top of the post. UNTIL NOW I did not have the courage to post this. BUT
Guess what, Ghost Rider 2 is coming out in February. Have you seen Ghost Rider? Will you watch Ghost Rider 2?  and YES, I realize my ghost rider has no legs, but then he is a Ghost...

Cage will be at it again in Ghost Rider-The Spirit of Vengeance  Feb 17th

    Yikes!!!! I thought I had come to the wrong blog, or taken way too many steroids!!! But it is good to change and branch out and surprise us from time to time, and you sure did that!! Actually your image is so masterful, you would be great at creating posters for movie companies. I can't believe just one person made this and not some big publicity company or something. Can't believe this is a Nicholas Cage movie I have never heard of! He looks very young in it too, younger than the year says. You are a born graphic artist.

    Wow!!! No did not see the first, nor won't be watching the second...but IF I watched a little bit of it I would probably want to see the rest.

    Ghost Rider would love that bike! And I love that fiery sky you used as a background for the Rider. Great work on the image.

    I loved this movie, of course I like all Nicolas Cage movies. I will definitely be seeing the second one too. I just watched Season of the Witch, have you seen that one yet? NC makes a great knight.

    Well that is very good work! Very creative too. I probably won't see Ghost Rider...it doesn't interest me too much. But I hope you enjoy it!

    No, won't be seeing the film. No SciFi or Fantasy for us.
    However, I love the photo you put together.

    Best,

    Jumpin'-gee-hosa-fats!!! Scary!!!

    -chuckle- I love it, how we *Lady Bloggers* have different sides! Which we can display, now and then. I'd never peg you as one who would watch scary sci-fi films. But... See how wrong I was?!?

    Love it!!!

    I also love Nicholas Cage but..... Don't know if I'm brave enough to watch-scary...

    I hear you! "Wimp!" "Wimp!" "Wimp!" -giggles- LOL...

    I have not seen Ghost Rider, and I probably will not see the sequel. But I am very impressed with your creativity. You did very well with this image. I find it sufficiently frightening, even if the rider has no legs.

    You really caught me by surprise! Totally unexpected image! You are so talented and creative Sandra! I did see that movie and would maybe watch the second one. It seems like the sequels are usually disappointing.
    Hope you're having a great week!

    Clever manipulation of photos. I'm with hubby and can't stand SCi FI movies. We went to see The Iron Lady yesterday and it was well done.

    I've never seen Ghost Rider, but there is a flying motorbike in Harry Potter so I was not too shocked! (haha) Hollywood will be calling you soon asking you to make movie posters and DVD covers!

    I see that I actually commented on this all those years ago. And I was your first comment. I still love this, and this creation of yours is much better and more awesome than any of the A.I.'s. Makes me think of the song "Ghost Riders In The Sky". There is a real legend about the Ghost Riders. For someone just learning, you could not get more perfect or amazing.

    Take care, enjoy your day!

    What Rose just said!
    I, too, am fascinated by fire. Always have been.
    That first image is compelling -- and a little frightening, too. I know nothing about either of those movies, but feel both Sam and Nick would be proud of you.

    My goodness...you have surpassed yourself.
    Scary stuff there MadSnapper.
    Don't think I will see either of the movies...not my cup of tea but you do make it compelling.
