Two Flies

I took another old crappy (imo) painting that didn't look like much, and then gave it another go over. I used snapchat to document the change, and I'm pretty pleased with how the whole change came about.

The only thing though, I don't think I have a very good 'before' picture to compare this to. I'll hunt around for one and post it if I find it.

BMJ

Sometimes when a painting is finished, it still isn't quite done. This one had to much white spaces around it and not quite enough chaos for my liking. 

So ... I adjusted it a little and now its done.

It's a little late for me to list it in my store, I have some other things I need to attend to right now, but if you want to own it, make me an offer. I'd list it at $55 but I'm willing to take less for it. I'd rather my artwork be on  your wall than in a storage container.

Face Melt

Was it an acid spill or extreme heat that caused the zombies face to melt?

Emerging

I like taking some of my older paintings that never quite looked right and giving them a second coat, adding a few more textures and trying some newly learned techniques on them. Sometimes it turns out really well, like this one. Now it really feels like there are more and more zombies emerging from the darkness.

Original available here.

zombies and balloons

This is the full size image for the balloon holding zombie, which was originally created for Two Sentence Horrors. The story is here, and deals with a phobia.

I like how this guy turned out, and he looks a lot better in real life. He's here if you want to own him.

skull

I painted up a little skull for the most recent Two Sentence Horrors story.

It's 2.5"x3.5" mixed media on watercolor paper artcard.

DRUMPF !

Back in September I painted up this picture of Donald Drumpf as a joke shortly after he started his election campaign. I never thought he would go as far as he did, nor did I think I would see America tear itself apart like it is.

I know I'm an outside observer, but wow America.

There are no words.

On the Wall

I am painting on art cards today. This one is based on one of +mary Zeman 's cats.

If you want a cat painting, or any kind of painting, I'm offering them up for as low as $25 this week.

Zantana

I was asked to paint a zombie(ish) version of the Marvel Character Zantana. So I did. It's available here and like most of my art, I'm open to offers.

psycho demonic zombie wolverine

Don't know what to draw so I just start drawing. I grab the paints as Wolverine starts to appear but then the demons start to whisper in my ear. The pens come out as the zombies stomp around and do their damage. Let the blood flow ... let the blood flow.

HELL ... oh kitty

A while ago someone wanted to see a Hello Kitty gone zombie ... and this is the end result. All rage and rabies ready to tear in to you. You can get the original here.

If there are any characters you would like to see me zombify, let me know in the comments.

crucifixion

The other day I had the misfortune of answering the door to a couple of super clean cut, bright eyes and big smiles, mormons. They wanted to come in my house ... asking to be invited in like old timey vampire rules. I said no and closed the door.

Ever think about the crucifixion cross and what it was originally intended for? A method to slowly, and painfully, kill someone, and then serve as a warning to others not to commit crimes. Quite brutal really. Now it's used as a symbol of faith and protection ... what a crazy world.

This image was tweaked recently and now looks a helluva lot better.

Time to go eat some pasta!

a small horde ...

I took another old painting and tweaked it, made it darker and added a little splatter to bring a some extra chaos to the image. It looks better now.

where the real wild things are ...

Last year I painted Carol, from "Where the Wild Things Are", and I was never quite happy with it. Today I dug it out and took a bit of anger and frustration out on him ... bringing out the real wild within. I think it's quite an improvement.

Swarmed ...

Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated about a great many things. So much going on and needing to be done it feels like I'm walking through a fog ... sometimes it's tough being a grownup.

Zombie Tippy

Quite a while ago there was an online fun challenge to draw Tippy the turtle. Naturally I drew him as a zombie. It was a lot of fun, seeing as how I've never really drawn a turtle before. Especially not one wearing a hat. It's about 5"x5" mixed media on watercolor paper.

I'm trying to put a little more work of mine out in the world so I'm going through some and putting them at reduced prices ... so if you like Tippy, here's your chance to get him at a deal. click here.

not my son TOO

Another digital zombie portrait commission, the brother of the previous zombie. This guy likes his batman hat a lot. I stitched the logo on so it will be there forever.

not my zombie son

Recent zombie portrait commission ... the first son.

International Womens Day

It's international womens day today and here's a shout out to all the moms out there that try to bring fun to their families lives, like Rilla here. She got both of her boys zombified to bring some more weirdness to their house. As a sign of appreciation, I zombified her too.

Group Photo

Or drawing and painting something for hits and iggles ...

This is an image made using input from a bunch of people over on google+ ... they were asked to tell me the object to their left and a color. Then I drew most of those things and used the colors they choose, which was mostly black, blue and green.

It went a little different than I wanted, and was made mostly as a challenge to myself.

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!
