This page will contain some of the fan-created artwork that I find interesting. Spook Central is not, and will never be, a major source of fan art. So, please do NOT send me art that you've created wanting me to put it here. The Ghostbusters Fan Forum and the Ghostbusters Ecto-Web are your best sources for fan art and the such.

"Ghostbusters II" by Paul Rudoff

This is a painting I did back in high school. It's dated 1/22/1993, so I would have been in 10th grade when I did this. It's paint on posterboard, though the small print movie text was photocopied from the real movie poster and pasted onto the painting. This is currently hanging on my bedroom wall next to the two posters seen on my personal page.

This store is literally down the street from my house. Throughout the year they have two different holiday- or season-based neon signs in their front windows. Every year around Halloween they put up the No Ghost Logo and the Jack-O-Lantern (or pumpkin, if you prefer). I had totally forgotten all about it until I happened to be passing by the store about a week after Halloween. Thankfully I had just bought a digital camera about two months prior, so I came back a few times later to take some photos before they took down the sign (which they did on Nov. 13th). As you can see, I even had a few photos taken of me in front of the sign (wearing my new Ghostbusters t-shirt that I bought back in May).

I inquired within and found out that the sign costs about $350, and takes about 10 days to manufacture. For those of you who'd like to buy a sign, they don't do non-local orders. Of course, if you're willing to pay extra for shipping and to make it worth their while, they might work out a deal with you. To quote "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, "Everybody has a price." Just don't be disappointed if they still say no.

Hi, my name is Michael Brewer. I am from Holly Michigan. I drew up some pretty cool Ghostbusters pictures for a friend the other day and I figured I would share them with you. I really don't want them posted all over the internet so I was hoping that only you would use them. Mind you none of them are finished, and the scanner I used doesn't have the best quality, however if you like them just let me know and I will be happy to get you some better ones. I love your website and I hope that my art helps to contribute in some way. I would also be happy to draw up or design anything you would like. So please write me back and at least let me know what you thought since I have never posted art online before it would be good to get an outside opinion. Hope I hear from you soon. Oh one last thing the color pictures are done with Paint Shop.

Amusement Park Kiddie Ride
featuring Mr. Stay Puft and a Ghostbusters Truck

You may think that I'm crazy for including this on this page, but hear me out. Obviously this isn't an officially-licensed ride, so that means that whoever designed it was a Ghostbusters fan. Amusement park rides could be considered interactive works of art, though technically anything could be considered a work of art. So it's not that far of a stretch to consider this ride a piece of fan art.

The images you see above came from a video that someone uploaded (download), filmed in 2006, though I don't know where. However, I can tell you that they have this same ride at Adventureland in Farmingdale, NY (though it isn't listed on their map or website). I was always tempted to take a camera with me to Adventureland and photograph the ride there, but I was afraid that people would laugh at me (especially my friends) since it would seem odd for a grown-up to take pictures of a kiddie ride with nobody on it.

• Days of Boom and Bust - Brandon Bird organized a gallery showing entitled "Days of Boom and Bust" which ran from February 28 through March 4, 2005 at Cornell's Tjaden Experimental Gallery. In short, he and a couple of other artists created pieces of art to accompany an audio story. The story was "The Ghostbusters Meet the Ghost Riders" read-along book. The website features photos of the art, the Ghost Rider audio tracks, and some photos from the gallery opening. The Ghost Rider audio tracks may have been edited, so don't consider them a faithful reproduction of the read-along tape. (Text written by Chris Stewart.)

• Modeler Jim Davis made an Ecto-1A model using the old AMT/ERTL kit as the base. For a kit that included an on-board PC and cell-phone (anybody remember seeing those in the movie?) some obvious details were left out - like proton packs. Jim decided to take care of that and in his version he added the packs, their holding rack, slime thrower, a ghost trap, ecto goggles, gloves, and even a copy of Time magazine, with the GB's on the cover. He even noticed that the model doesn't include a part of the equipment on the roof (the yellow radar beacon on the rear drivers side just in front of the rear light bar), despite the fact that it appears in the movie and on the cover of the box, and that the license plate is in the wrong spot!
