One of my students wanted me to paint something on her sketch book so, of course I chose to do a zombie.

Brushes Zombie

2011-08-26T08:57:00.000-07:00

I just got Brushes for my iPhone. It's a great little app! If you have an iPhone. iPod Touch or iPad and you like to draw of paint it is definitely worth the $4.99 price of admission!

Steven

2011-05-10T12:43:00.000-07:00

Steven bought a painting from me and the shipping took way to long so I'm giving him this little bonus gift.

2010-11-30T11:26:00.000-08:00

Allie

2010-05-13T14:00:00.000-07:00

This is one of my students. It's fun to set up some dramatic lights and then work from staged photos.

2010-05-06T13:49:00.000-07:00

Another zombie commission

2009-12-08T11:46:00.000-08:00

There are four more to go on this family commission...

Lauren

2009-09-17T11:57:00.000-07:00

It was a real pleasure drawing Lauren. She's good at conversation.

Mike

2009-09-16T11:46:00.000-07:00

Mike was very patient.

School has started!

2009-08-25T11:36:00.000-07:00

School has started and I'm drawing students again.

Zombie commission

2009-08-15T07:26:00.000-07:00

This commission took me the longest time yet, about two months! My routine was badly disrupted this summer. I've had three different art shows to prepare for. I'm lucky my clients were so patient.

girl zombie

2009-05-26T08:09:00.000-07:00

Here's one I did for one of my graduating students...

three more...

2009-05-23T08:02:00.000-07:00

Three more from the set

2009-05-21T13:57:00.000-07:00

Here's a few more...

2009-05-01T12:52:00.000-07:00

Some more of the 53 card set...

2009-04-28T14:09:00.000-07:00

This is a pretty fun project. I'm still not sure what to do with 'em when I'm done.

53 card set

2009-04-19T21:29:00.000-07:00

I built a wooden box that holds 53 2.5"x3.5" cards. I'm going to fill it with small portraits of monsters, aliens, mutants and freaks. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it when they're all done. Here are the first eight cards. I might write a short character bio on the back of each card.

Frankenstein's Monster

2009-04-14T11:08:00.000-07:00

There's a blog in Britain that is soliciting pictures of frankenstein's monster. I thought it would be fun to participate.

Zombie Family Portrait

2008-12-08T21:08:00.000-08:00

I just finished this commission. Believe it or not, this is a Christmas present for the purchaser's parents. I think Christmas is a pretty interesting holiday for some people.

Dick Chenney Zombie

2008-10-08T22:01:00.001-07:00

xSchool started a couple of days ago and I'm once again doing these little pictures for students who pay their shop fees. Poor Zach has been waiting since last year for his!

School's in for zombies!

2008-08-15T21:39:00.000-07:00

School started a couple of days ago and I'm once again doing these little pictures for students who pay their shop fees. Poor Zach has been waiting since last year for his!

the gift of zombie-ness

2008-08-13T19:18:00.000-07:00

This is another commissioned gift for a very nice zombie loving customer.

another birthday commission

2008-07-28T10:51:00.000-07:00

commissioned zombie

2008-07-20T19:00:00.000-07:00

This is a commission I just finished this afternoon. I'm afraid it took me longer to get to than I anticipated although I can still get it to my client in time (it's a birthday present!)

two students

2008-07-20T13:05:00.000-07:00

another commission

2008-07-19T12:58:00.000-07:00

I did this one for one of my students. I was to be a present for he brother. I think that's very sweet.

two zombie commissions

2008-07-18T12:50:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of relatively recent commissions

zombie love birds

2008-07-16T12:47:00.000-07:00

I have neglected posting to this blog for too long! These two are a couple of nice kids from school.

Joss Whedon's new project

2008-07-05T15:53:00.000-07:00

George Bush

2008-05-05T08:26:00.000-07:00

The perfect follow up to the Dick Chenney zombie. Mr. Bush starts on eBay at a mere $5.00!

Dick Cheney 5x7

2008-04-16T09:21:00.000-07:00

I'm thinking of doing a bunch of folks from the Bush administration. Mr. Cheney starts on eBay at a mere $5.00!

ghoul

2008-04-16T08:47:00.000-07:00

This is an experimental piece. I painted it on masonite instead of paperboard. The paperboard takes ink a lot better. The ink tends to fish eye on top of the bare masonite. I think the trick is to lay down a layer of matte acrylic medium first as it accepts ink very nicely.

mauled by a large animal

2008-04-16T08:42:00.000-07:00

Here's another customer mauled by a large animal.

zombie couple

2008-04-15T22:40:00.000-07:00

Here's a nice zombie couple that I finished up last week. I'm working hard trying to finish up several commissions. CreepyDrawings.com has become quite busy since Eddie Breen linked to it. I have several drawings that I need to post here as well but I've been unable to do so because my classroom was broken into a few weeks ago and I still haven't gotten my stolen Mac Mini back from the police. There are a few drawings on that hard drive that I don't have anywhere else. I've also been working on a couple of pieces to put up on eBay for cheap, so stay tuned!

Eddie Breen

2008-04-02T15:44:00.000-07:00

Eddie Breen is a piggyback artist who sometimes throws zombies into his compositions. His work is funny, thought provoking and always at least a little bit creepy. I think he's doing one of the most creative things in art on the internet today. His site is worth bookmarking.

zombie debutante

2008-04-01T22:56:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted new drawings to this blog in a while. This is just one of a few that I've done recently. Unfortunately my classroom was broken into over the weekend and my computer was stolen. The other pictures are all on that hard drive and I've already sent the originals off to their buyers. A suspect has been apprehended (NOT one of my students) and the Mac Mini recovered. Unfortunately it's in an evidence locker at the sheriff's office. I'm in the process of getting it released. I'm hoping all the data is intact.
The back side of my room is equipped with 30+ year old plexiglass windows. Over the weekend someone thought it would be a good idea to start a small fire outside one and try to melt their way in, or maybe it was some sort of heat ray, I really don't know. In any event, the fire/heat ray didn't melt a big enough hole to grant ingress so the miscreant ended up bludgeoning their way in. I assume they left by the door once they had my property in hand.

Priest Zombie and co.

2008-02-21T11:32:00.000-08:00

Sketch Book Page

2008-02-05T14:38:00.000-08:00

This is just one of many pieces from my sketch book. It's fun to ink these little doodles. I do a lot of them when I'm in staff meetings and then ink them later.

Valentine's Zombies

2008-02-04T17:34:00.000-08:00

I did this drawing for a young lady as a Valentine's Day gift for her boyfriend. I'm not sure real zombies feel much affection for anything other than eating living flesh. I still think it was a touching gesture.

Combat Diaper

2008-02-03T14:30:00.000-08:00

This is just a generic monster. I like putting these diaper-like garments on them. In the early sixties artists like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko would dress their monsters like this.

Zombie Magazine

2008-01-30T14:15:00.000-08:00

My students discovered this website the other day. Looks like there's a pretty big community of zombie aficionados in the world.

a vampire and two zombies

2008-01-28T18:49:00.000-08:00

Zombie Trilogy

2008-01-16T08:23:00.000-08:00

My sister got me "David Wellington's Zombie Trilogy" for Christmas. It's well worth reading. Wellington offer's up several interesting twists on the zombie genre.

Nice holiday zombie girl

2008-01-05T17:01:00.000-08:00

Well, it looks like the Christmas Holidays are not the busiest of times for zombie drawing artists. however, I was fortunate to get the opportunity to draw this for a very nice young lady that I met online. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, if you say you met someone "online", it always sounds a bit creepy. Oh well, that's part of the blog title so I'm not too worried.

three new zombies

2007-11-30T08:52:00.001-08:00

girl zombie

2007-11-19T11:53:00.000-08:00

three more zombies

2007-11-15T09:11:00.001-08:00

I printed a diagram of facial muscles from the internet. It's a great refference to use when a lot flesh is torn off a zombie's face.

more walking dead

2007-11-14T08:13:00.000-08:00

smoking zombie

2007-11-07T18:06:00.001-08:00

If a person engaged in an activity often enough and it was enough of a habit that they pretty much did it unconsciously, I wonder if they would continue to do it after their higher brain functions ceased?

a couple of freaks...

2007-11-06T18:02:00.000-08:00

Here's a couple of circus freaks. It was nice to work with a slightly different palette.

The Walking Dead

2007-11-04T17:54:00.000-08:00

I just finished reading all of Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's "The Walking Dead". The comics go through issue 43 but I bought all seven of the trade paperbacks that go through issue #42. It was well worth it. This is a great adventure series with wonderful character development and a gripping story line. The black and white art is just fantastic. I think it's probably more effective in setting the mood of the story than it would be if it were in full color.

lizard/human hybrid

2007-11-03T23:02:00.000-07:00

This is my friend and former student Brandon. He had some interesting ideas. This was a fun one to do.

two girl zombies

2007-10-30T21:20:00.000-07:00

These are fun to do. I was initially trying to use the grey tone of the boards more. Lately I've just been utilizing it as a hair color. I'd like to use it more effectively as a shadow tone for the faces though.

she devil

2007-10-26T12:27:00.000-07:00

I am really enjoying breaking out and doing things other than vampires and zombies. I had fun drawing the flames on this one too.

three more zombies

2007-10-26T09:49:00.000-07:00

Here are three more lovely zombie girls. They're getting more and more creative with their suggestions.
If you haven't already done so, you should check out The Zombie Survival Guide. It's practical and witty, essential reading if you plan on surviving a zombie outbreak.
