The Zombienation Army

Today I made a new design for a tshirt based on the salvation army logo, as well as ripped from the satanic army logo that Marilyn Manson had. The idea came about during a late night conversation with my wife and the more I thought about it the more it made sense to create and put up in a shop. 

Over the last 7 years I have been slowly creating a zombie nation ... and with all the people I have painted as zombies, either for the 1000 zombie project or as a private commission, it feels like I have created an army. What better way to show you are a part of that army than a shirt that shows the solidarity. Even if you haven't been painted as a zombie yet,  but you enjoy my artwork, horror movies and zombies in general, you are in the zombie nation army too.

Wear it with pride!

chicken zombie - revisited

Which came first, the chicken zombie or the rotten embryo? This is the secret KFC doesn't want you to know about. Zombie chickens ready to peck your clucking brains from your skull.

You may remember this image from earlier on ... it's been tweaked in photoshop and displayed in 2 different ways, and is now available as a shirt in my spreadshop store.

I'm going back over some of my more popular images as well as some that never saw the light of day and getting them made in to some sort of product. Many people have been asking for coffee and travel mugs so those things are on the horizon. All this just takes time and my biggest project right now is finishing off the new website design for BuyZombie.com. Once that's done it will be more tshirts as well as web comic pages and nothing else.

Oh, and July will be a month of some give aways for people that own one of my shirt designs. Thats all I'm saying for now ... back to

DEAD

I was hoping to post a witty title but nothing is coming to mind. Sometimes wit just isn`t needed, more matter hard much you want it.

So it`s the end of the work week and my productivity will soon come to an end, sorta. The weekend looms and the kids are anxious to go to water parks and other outdoor stuff. All in all it has been pretty good. Better than previous weeks.

The image below was a rough sketch, one of dozens, made for a publisher that wanted to promote the word DEAD for their books. My shit is to cartoony for them, not enough realism for their liking. They want the painted, sorta real, type imagery that you find most other places. So it was rejected, just like nearly every other idea and concept I gave them. To messy, to simple, not what I had envisioned at all, etc etc yadda yadda ya ...

Really freaked me out inside my own head. Totally fubared me for a while and even now it creeps in and threatens to make a mess again. So now I don`t work with them anymore. Haven`t in months and it`s for the best. I don`t think I will ever work for a publisher like that again. To restricting and smothering.

So anyways ... here`s an image that was condemed to hell but brought back to life like a cast member of Supernatural. Revamped and super charged from the original doodle.

As I mentioned in my last post, I am trying to turn this in to my J O B ... so I have started taking designs I like and putting them on shirts. Eventually I want to own my own silkscreen machine but until then, its the experts at spreadshirt that are doing it for me. Check my store here, it`s a tad bare at the moment, but I just started.

Also, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please do let me know. Cheers.

santa zombie

This is an image I created a little while back and I've been wanting to use it for sometime. Maybe a print or a magnet or something ... but nothing came to mind until today. Well my fiends ... today I present the Santa Zombie Shirt, available at abovethepants.com.


This santa doesn't care if you're bad or good, he just wants to find you when you're sleeping and eat your brains.

Allison's Zombie

So much for daily eh? I have to tell you it has been a gloriously SHITTY week and a half. As mentioned I had inlaws coming to stay over for nearly a week. That was a week ago. They left and life is starting to resort to normal again, but its taking a while.

There is a whole chapter on why it all went so wrong, and I don't think my wife would like me to share all the juicy bits, so I will just say that some people probably shouldn't have kids if they aren't willing to make the sacrafices necessary to raise them properly.

ANYWAYS . . . . moving right along. Life is nearly back to normal, and I am almost back on track with my zombie projects. By the end of today I should be fully finished my dead future contribution. Whether or not it still gets accepted is another bridge I will cross soon. I think it will, because I'm pouring my soul into it. Once thats done I will finish the rest of my zombie portraits, then open the flood gates to complete all the GvMvD that I have. And once THAT is done, I can get my zombie webcomic back on track.

Above image by my daughter. She felt bad that I haven't updated this site in a while so she drew me a zombie. Notice the bandaid. :)

Finally. Go to zombierocks.com and buy a tshirt. Eric sent me one for a zombie portrait I did of him and I got it yesterday. It is AWESOME and I'm wearing it right now. I got the "Brain Eater" shirt. Top notch quality and the extras were a great bonus too. Thanks Eric.

waking up is hard to do

Started this image last night while playing yahtzee with the missus. I'm happy to say that I won this time. She won. Again.

Anyways. Drawn on the inside part of the yahtzee box in pen, then a touch of color added. Had to stop because the watercolor on the cardboard causes the ink to bleed.

In other news, I'm opening up a shop and will be selling stuff. A tshirt right now but there are lots of other goodies planned. Most of which will be hand made/drawn stuff. Any requests?
