postcard zombie prints: NotLD's Karen Cooper

Here's the next postcard-sized print in my series of cinematic zombies, Karen Cooper (Kyra Schon) from Romero and Russo's 'Night of the Living Dead' (1968).


Aside from the gruesome discovery of young Karen devouring her father's remains, the most memorable bit of this sequence was the stabbing of her mother with a bricklayer's trowel. In some respects, the "ghouls" of 'Night of the Living Dead' were more revolutionary than their modern, shambling (or in some cases running) counterparts. After all, these were tool-users. Additionally, unlike Romero's later adaptations, these zombies seemed to have an immediate grasp of the concept. In films like 'Day of the Dead' and 'Land of the Dead' it was a gradually learned process, whereas in this first film it was instinctive. Personally, that notion instills a greater sense of dread. I wanted to convey this in Karen, capturing her with the trowel raised in hand menacingly.

These prints are for sale, so send me an e-mail if you are interested in purchasing. My current asking price is $1.50 USD each ($4 for four prints), plus an additional $2 for mailing costs. Prints will include my personal signature as well. There will also be no watermark, as seen here.

NOTICE: The background is the original poster artwork from the film. It's a filler and gives recognition to the movie from which the depicted character is derived from.

postcard zombie prints: NotLD's Cemetery Zombie

Here's the next postcard-sized print in my series of cinematic zombies, the Cemetery Zombie (Bill Hinzman) from Romero and Russo's 'Night of the Living Dead' (1968).


Hinzman's zombie appears at various points throughout the film, but the scene most memorable to myself is his attack on Barbra (Judith O'Dea), when she is trapped inside her brother's car. Something about the way he slammed his palms against the windows made it intense, so it seemed to me that it would make a dynamic pose in this print.

postcard zombie prints: RotLD's Tarman

With the Motor City Comic Con nearing, I've decided to get a start on some artwork to sell. Here is the first in a series of illustrations depicting cinematic zombies, the Tarman (Allan Trautman) from Dan O'Bannon's 'The Return of the Living Dead' (1985).


There's also a cameo of Tarman in 'The Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave' (2005), which did an awesome rendition of the zombie, but I decided to opt for the original version instead. These postcard-sized prints are for sale online as well, so send me an e-mail if you are interested in purchasing. My current asking price is $1.50 USD each ($4 for four prints), plus an additional $2 for mailing costs. Prints will include my personal signature as well.

Next on the agenda is George A. Romero's movies, starting with the 1968 classic, 'Night of the Living Dead'. Expect to see the Cemetery Zombie (Bill Hinzman) sometime next week.

Gremlins sketch

Here's a little something that I sketched back in December, after re-watching 'Gremlins'.

Petals and Prince Zebulan commissions

Here are a couple digitally-colored portraits, one done a few months back, the other done today. These were commissioned by two separate individuals, but I decided to include them together in this post.

wedding picture w.c. painting

A friend of the family through our church has been serving in the military and was married some time back. However, because of their separate locations they decided to opt for a proxy marriage, so they weren't able to have a traditional service and ceremony. His mother wanted something memorable for the two of them as a belated wedding gift, so she commissioned this wedding picture done in watercolor. Finished just in time, too, since he arrives back in the States tonight for a brief break. I know his mother has been looking forward very much to this, especially to meet her new daughter-in-law and two (as well as her first) grandchildren.

She requested Irish scenery, thus the landscape in the background, beyond the arch. The scanner included most of the artwork, but cropped a portion off. You can note a very small part of the clovers in the bottom right corner.
