A piece of how it's coming along.

Colin's book.

Another Fragonard zombie. This time, two Fragonard paintings put together. Hope that you like it.

Japanese Schoolgirl Zombie Cheerleaders

My modest entry into Marty's awesome Zombie Moly; content inspired by a great photo laden book about Japanese schlock cinema called "Venus in Pink: Japanese Porn Starlets" by Candice Black from Glitter Books. PS - that's a nod to the "100 Views of Mt. Fuji" in the background there, Japanese art history class paying off once again...

Hope y'all enjoy, and deepest apologies for the slow delivery pace, this past couple months has been unusually busy & distracting for me between travel, family stuff, and getting a new gig lined up. Getting back on track now, noice!

Zombie Turkey

Just in time for turkey genocide day a zombie turkey for our group. I still have a book that I will be mailing out next week other than that I have nothing to work on for this group. How is everyone else doing? I think this group is almost finished?

Some Trouble at Canadian Customs for Marty's Moly

Wanted to share this experience with you all in case you're also sending things internationally, or at least, into Canada.

I've just picked up Marty's sketchbook at the post office and had to pay a customs fine of $30.97 because the little green sheet on the front says the book is value $500, which I suspect is a typo simply missing a decimal point. I'm going to argue that angle anyway and send the paperwork and receipt in too the border agency to try and get the charge refunded.

While the art is certainly irreplaceable, customs views the value as my paying for something as a purchase, not as an insurance thing, so they've charged me GST & PST, the two kinds of taxes here.

Just wanted to let you all know so that for future posts you might have into Canada, it's generally best to either cite a low value or mark the item "gift - zero value" then insure it separately as a gift "x" value or get a tracking number for it. Tracking numbers are often enough.

Any rate, the Moly is here safe and is an incredible thing to behold, every contribution in there so far is stunning!

Check this out!

This group will be winding down soon. Can I interest you in this Mark Trail exchange? moly_x_78

Passing on Marty's book

Okay....finally done. Could have puttered away at this for another 3 months.....but that isn't the point right? This is a collaborative thing. This is an awesome book and I hate to see it go. So here is my entry.


Here is the book as a whole.


Once again, I want to thank everyone for the opportunity.
This is a rad group!

Zombie over saturation?

Zombie Giant

Got this book just before taking off to thailand for two weeks, then had a couple weeks of getting back into the swing of things, and more or less not making progress, so sat myself down and got some stuff going finally.
And this is what happened. Some of it a bit more grim than I expected it. A lil' more work in this book, then I'll pass it on ( I think this one's almost through everyone? )

Just out of curiosity, any interest on a role-call on who's got who's book right now?

ha ha ha

Resistance

I think the size makes it a bit fucked up to see, it looks better in person

hope you like

There.

This was fun. I used dyes to color this. First time. I've tested them before, but I really don't like them much, yet. The skin is too bright for me, but it's dye so the color should disappear in a couple of years. Then it will look right.

I think that she ended up looking a little like Drew Barrymore.

Here it comes F1X+2.

Added fun.

Zombie Snow White in Progress

my entry in Colin's Moly all done

On to Lindsay!
e

Pin up a gogo

My contribution to lindsay's book. I may add more unless F1x+2 are you ready for another book. If not I'll keep it longer and add some more to it. Otherwise I'll send it on if you need something to work on. Once I mail it out I will be all caught up for this group with no more books.

some doodles from the weekend

Progress on getting some doodles into Colin's hefty zombie tome. And wow there is some great stuff in there already!

e

it's a start

taking a whack at Marty's book.

Books sent and received

I just got Marty Harris's book.
Put one in the mail to David on Friday.

Marty's book is looking great!
Nice to see it in person.

How do you do the colorific hoodoo voodoo that you do?

May I ask how you all are doing your colors?

I've tried water color / art markers - they bled too much; tried color pencils - too muted versus the yellow card stock. Tried water colors with varied success, though seems I have to really layer up goopy thick paint to get enough opacity to overcome the yellow.

Most of you all seem to easily surmount the yellow and get some sharp details in your colors. What do you use? Is it guasch paint? acryllic?

And yes, sorry, this is a huge gaping hole in my fine arts background, I don't know nearly enough about illustrative color work or techniques. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!

Thanks!

PS - apologies if you saw this post on the other Moly groups I'm in, trying to get ample coverage from all the amazingly talented folks I've been fortunate enough to crew up with!

Finally done

After having emon book for a while I am finally finished and happy with my entry I hope you and everyone elselikes it. After having seen the last two post I figured I have to step things up a bit. I hope that I arose to the challengei will have a scan soon and then it's off to Spain

Thanks for the opportunity F1X+2.

Hey folks, I just finished with Colin's moly. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for sending me this book. Should I send it to Michael Nightmare next?

Blood

I've been doing a little bit of stuff scattered around this book a bit, but then spent some time carving out my own little section in here. Might add a bit more here and there, but the main part is done, and I should be sending this off soon...

Sweet love

Zombie Cartoon

Funny.

Trick of the trade.

Hey Michael, I will try to get this book in the mail by tomorrow. Have fun with it. It's a beautiful thing.

The paper is so absorbent that inking the way I like wouldn't have worked, so I pasted the sketch into the book. The sketch was done by tracing an old pinup image in Adobe Illustrator. I then printed the sketch on to Moleskine Cahier paper using my inkjet printer. I used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to mount the picture in the book. Then, I inked it. You'd never know that computer had anything to do with it.

zombie cowgirl

Some time ago I did this photoshoot of a cowgirl zombie. Here is the result. You gotta love the cheesy background haha. I can't say im completly in love with this photo but I think it is still good. Anyway thought it would be a good addtion to our blog since we are posting found zombie sightings. Thanks everyone.

my latest entry

I have been a bit intimidated to lay pencil/pen to paper on F1X+2's book.
I have been trying to loosen up a bit...thinking about the qualities of "zombie" that exist in our creative cultures.........

zombie revolution

Here is my last entry in Colins book. I hope you like it. Who am I supposed to mail to????? sorry I forgot.

Nightmare to Canada

I have put Nightmare's book in the post.
6 to 10 days to the hands of Emon.

Zombie Girls

F1X+2
I got it.
Now to work.

There'sanotherone....BANG. got 'em.

The thing about collaboration...is you never know...and that is a comfort.

Colin's Book

I hope you guys don't mind two post from me in one day but here is my first entry in Colins book. I have decided to add royalty from inspired paintings and zombify them. I will have more soon.

What is a zombie

I pose this question just because it's off the top of my head. Which is what is or makes a zombie to you? How much flesh has to be on the person for it to be a zombie? Zombie animals? Zombie fruit? zombie cars? Just thought i'd pose the question and see... maybe it will further our study of zombies.

water color pencils rock for zombie mayhem!

I'll get this in the post as soon as I have an answer to this question:
Lindsay and I swapped, which I now realize means we reversed the order of things. So, should I send this to Marty to correct the flow, or to David B. thereby encouraging a counter-flow?

Opinions? Oh, and Marty, could you email me your address again? David, I think I have yours handy. best to be prepared either way. :)

I'll get proper scans posted soon, just snapped a phone camera shot for the meantime.
