zombie doodles

first zombie drawing/doodle of 2013

weekend droolings

drew this ugly bugger while taking care of my sick kids this past weekend. Perhaps that is what inspired the drool. Anyways ... it's busy times here with christmas and all that ... 2012 can't come fast enough. big plans :)

get naked!

It's hump day, and what better way to celebrate it all than to GET NAKED!

Seriously, is there anything more sexy than rotten stinky naked flesh. This beauty was only 23 when she turned but that was 6 months ago. Since then she's kinda let herself go.

So - naked zombies ... want more?

i hate mondays guts

for no other reason than it means early morning rush to get kids fed and daughter to school. And usually shopping. I hate shopping too. This was a little doodle I did while waiting in the truck to pick up the kids from school. Watercoloured it up yesterday for the hell of it.

and then she kissed me

and ripped off my lips and swallowed them whole without chewing ... it was all downhill after that.

So far so good today ... how goes your day?

tuesday cometh

The zombizman works relentlessly through the day answering phones, attending meetings, talking brains around the water cooler and then after a to short lunch break its more meetings and phone conferences and the occasional productivity evaluation. No real work is accomplished, no real job satisfaction is achieved. Such is the life of the zombizman.
By night he hunts ... letting loose the frustrations of the day on some unsuspecting victim.

These 2 images were doodled out while watching my eldest try to throw huge rocks in to a house.

sally was here

and now she's dead ... probably.

This was done a month or so ago in preparation for the art show I was doing but it wasn't quite good enough to get in. It's a little sub image for today because this month is a crazy month run by crazy people demanding we crazily spend our money on crazy shit we don't need to give to crazy people we are crazy about because they are going to give us a crazy gift that we would be crazy to refuse, all in a vain and crazy effort to show our love or appreciation for each other. Why not just go for coffee and talk about it.

inverted zombie

Took the weekend off to spend some time with family and just let my mind declutter itself. Didn't really work out very well and I ended my weekend with a dream that involved me in a small car getting driven over by a huge combine. I survived it and its back to drawing undead things, like this image which looks better inverted.
strange but true

shadow of the zombie

I don't really have much to say ... the weekend was rough and this week has started out even rougher. Snow storm today continuing into tomorrow with no end in sight for this winter and its not even officially winter yet. I shall survive, I always do. The only good thing about winter ... it slows the zombies down to a crawl.

Anyways ... this image is a sketch card that I have done ... pen and watercolor ... I particularity like the shadow.

experiment in size

Been working on a website for much of today trying to finish it off and get it off my plate. I'm surprised the dude hasn't killed me yet ... just goes to show how great he is. Anyways - needed a break so I spent a small amount of time doodling and painting on a larger scale - but I have nothing big enough to scan it so i took a picture and here it is ...


I cropped it to see if you can tell it was photographed rather than scanned ... lots alright imo. I want to work bigger these days.

rejected zombie

I wasn't the most pleased with this after I made it and getting it rejected just made sense and that's okay. I won't stop the killing just because of one little rejection ... I'll kill more ... and more ... and more until the snow turns red and the holidays are ruined for all save those that see the darkness for the truth that it reveals. It's going to be a RED christmas

allisons zombie monster

I'm busier than I've ever been lately ... it feels like I'm being pulled in 8 directions at once. I'm pleased with it all, don't get me wrong, and I know there will be a time when it is slow again, but DAMN!

Thats about all I will say about that ... to help me out Allison has donated the following image for today. She is learning about construction lines and inking. She's my little prodigy.

watercolor print

Here's an experiment I tried a couple days ago ... I had a high res image scanned in of this drawing ...

I printed it out on my new handy dandy printer on to watercolor paper and then painted it. The final result is this ...



Turned out better than I thought it would. I might do more of these in the future to play around with and try new painting techniques. What do you think?

all in the undead family

This is my first family zombie portrait that I was commissioned for, and it turned out rather well considering my reference was 4 different photos of varying quality and size. It's a gift for his eldest daughter and he is very pleased with the result. This will be my last portrait going online for a while because my latest requests have asked me to not publish them because they are gifts. If you want me to zombify yourself or a special someone, let me know by email ... the deadilne for getting mail out in time for the holidays is fast approaching.

southern zombie

This undead dude is the hubby of yesterdays undead dudette ... their marriage vows obviously didn't include 'til death due us part because they're still together after death. Total dedication.

If you want to get yourself zombified, or would like to get a friend done for holidays or just because, send me an email and I'll hook you up. Until the new year 5x7's are only $25 ... so gets yours before its too late.

Winklerite gets zombified

This is one of the locals that I zombified recently. I also did her husband and I'll post it tomorrow. This is one of my most recent zombifications and one that I did right after that image where I leveled up. The coolest thing about this lady and her hubby ... besides having a love for the undead, is that their anniversary is on Halloween.

computer problems

What is worse than computer problems? Well ... probably a whole bunch of things are worse but in the heat of the moment when your computer isn't even connecting to the internet thats the only problem in the world. It's one of those frustrating problems too, the kinds that a 12 year old could probably fix in 5 minutes but some old fart like me can't resolve to save my life. Anyways - because of that I couldn't get my other 2 portraits online so here are the last of the Friesen family ... son and grandson.

Again, they look way better in person but whatcha gonna do.
New stuff tomorrow - and time is running out if you want to get your zombie portrait in time for the holidays.

zombie level up

It might not look like it, but this is the image that helped me level up in my skill set, if I can call it that. Just a lazy day doodle with a bic pen, but I did it on one of my 'low' days when I felt a bit crappy about my skills, and I pushed it further than I normally do. I colored it today to show you all what I saw a little easier. The portraits that I will post tomorrow are a direct result of pushing myself with this image. Side note ... should i post just once a day, or whenever the hell I feel like it?

day 24

The second image in the new series - i need to work on backgrounds much more. Tomorrows card will be heavy on the background. Yesterdays card goes to Todd Brown from May December Publications.
