HAPPY BIRTHDAY...
I know this kind of looks like a picture for a boyfriend or something like that... or anyway, a picture for a person I care very much about. And it IS like this, in a certain way...
Well, I drew this after discovering that the actor who played Riderman isn't in this world anymore... I don't know much about the actor himself, but I love the character's story in the series, it is deep and touching... and I admit I thought, more than once, that he was really attractive. Not that it really means anything, but it's true...
So, I just felt so bad when I discovered he had died in 1986, at the age of only 41, for lung cancer.
I didn't really know how to handle this spontaneous image I drew, I didn't feel like uploading it anywhere, until one hour ago when I received an e-mail from the Kamen Rider Yahoo group that was a birthday reminder for him. Today it would have been his 59's birthday, so please consider this picture a gift... and a tribute... to a life ended too early.
Yamaguchi, Akira - January 25th 1945 - April 06th 1986 - May you rest in peace
