Halloween approaches and I struggled with what to do as it approaches. It's one of those favorite DA art storms isn't it? Halloween just has more diverse imagery than many holidays - it embraces the darkness and the light so to speak.

If this headless horseman reminds you of the latest Ghost Rider I'll take that as a compliment. I had all kinds of other images planned that were basically science fiction takes on classic horror stories and favorite Halloween tales.

I had planned to do an entire Halloween series but some freelance work got in the way of that, oh well.

I feel bad for him. First he loses his head and now he's lost his horse. Although this looks really cool.

It's official: I am ENAMORED by the concept of a headless rider (be it ye olde equestrian or post-modern cyclist)!

Maybe something oriented in the African grasslands: "THE HEADLESS OSTRICH RANGLER"!

Just suggestions to your question:

Start with an Ichabod-poacher hunting lions at night. He's spooked by the gleeful, thick-accent cackling in the still hot twilight air.
In the distant grassy hill, rearing up on his ominous ostrich, is the accursed HEADLESS OSTRICH RANGLER!
With the body of an African shaman, garbed in ceramonial clothing, he brandishes a mambele knife in one hand, and in the other, swings his flame-engulfed shrunken head by the hair! AWMWA-HA-HA-HAW-HA-HA-HA-HAAA!

....enjoy!
