I WANT TO EAT YOUR BRAINS!

I'm a big fan of Zombie Movies, not sure why exactly. I'm not into blood and gore. I'm against canabalisim. And I'm all for smelling nice and being polite to others. So why then do I have such a fascination with them? My best guess is I like stories about surviving. (Or perhaps I'm just sick) So just for fun I took my interest and made a Zombie themed shirt design. You can check it out below and even buy one HERE if you feel so inclined. I really like a book written by the author Max Brooks (son of the hilarious Mel Brooks who brought us Spaceballs) It's called "The Zombie Survival Guide" It's a comical approach on how to survive the undead attacking. It's all illustrated in that horrible style you see in boy scout books and those emergency plane procedure guides. Thats the inspiration for this piece. I'd like to do more and actually make a line of "Zombie Survival 101" T-Shirts offering up different lessons for each shirt. I get a lot of compliments wherever I wear it. Apparently I'm not the only one into zombie movies. Well, enjoy, and feel free to strike back with those comments. And as a bonus I also included a quick sketch I did of myself as a zombie. Nothing great but still related to this post and fun to draw thanks to having to actually draw every layer of the human body.

Old School Art

So this is a piece I did a while back for my former employer Stuph Clothing. As a matter of fact I do a lot of work for them, and have done a lot for them in the past. Ergo..... this won't be the last post with art done for them. They're a great company with some amazing artists. They've also recouped pretty well after suffering the loss of such an amazing artist such as myself ;) Anyway, it was for one of their preprint T-Shirt lines which you can see here. The goal here was to achieve a trendy design that a teenage girl would want to wear. I tried the approach of actually painting the majority of the design as opposed to the usual photoshop or illustrator work. I wanted it to have a more natural free flowing feel. And to me that’s a style easier to pull off in the traditional way with paint and brushes. Designs all done in the computer can have a very synthetic and symmetrical feel. Every now and then it's nice to do something the old fashioned way and resist the urge to rely on the computers tool sets. Although I'm still reasonably happy with this piece, its an area I would like to explore further in the future.
