ZOMBIE CAGE FIGHTER: THE MOVIE!

Recently got commissioned by UFC Fighter extraordinaire Nathan "Rock" Quarry to spice up his already existing ZOMBIE CAGE FIGHTER brand with a couple of designs. This is the first of those. After kicking around a few ideas, we decided to go with an old horror movie poster type design complete with the fighter hero, the beautiful woman and the monstrous menace. I had a lot of fun illustrating the figures and playing around with the halftones and weathering effects on this one -- scuffing up the image and giving it some torn, ragged borders and such (to try and reduce the "big ol' rectangle" feel as much as possible).
Anyway, the design was premiered at the San Diego Comic Con this past weekend, along with a second, simpler design, which I'll post here soon.

ZOMBIE LOVE!

Hey, it's nearly Valentine's Day, which means we're all supposed to celebrate by going out and buying expensive (or expensive-looking) cards, chocolates, stuffed animals, floral arrangements, jewelry and ridiculous lingerie for our significant others/ objects of our lusts/ stalking victims, lest they become offended at our lack of gift-bearing and come to the only obvious conclusion: that we must not really love them after all. Such is the nature of the holiday invented by the greeting card company/ candy manufacturers/ plush beast purveyors.

Final color version chosen

Alternate color option 1


Alternate color option 2


Alternate color option 3



Anywho, I've got a much better method in which one of a particularly geeky or slightly disturbing persuasion can express one's love for another: J!NX's new shirt design, ZOMBIE LOVE (designed by yours truly)! Zombie courtship done the old fashioned way -- two teenage zombies sharing a brainshake at the local malt shop. They're up for sale at this very moment (or in the incredibly near future from J!NX in a variety of sizes for both males and feminales. Celebrate love and death at the same time and give your grandmother yet another reason to cast odd and suspicious glances at you from across the room as she crosses herself.
Yep!

ZOMBAMA RETURNS now @ TeeFury! Halloween only!

Well, this is it, the moment you've all been waiting for over a year for -- ZOMBAMA has finally returned to the site that made him a household name, TeeFury!
For 24 hours only, starting... one hour ago, you can order as many bloody ZOMBAMA RETURNS shirts as you well please. It makes a perfect Chrismas present for EVERYBODY on your list (don't argue with me, I said "everybody")! They can be torn into strips, soaked in oil and wrapped around big sticks to use as torches for when the power goes out during the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse (oops! Hope I didn't just give anything away there), or for lighting your way as you gather into an angry mob and chase monsters through the forest with pitchforks!
There's also a nifty giveaway promotion that I'm putting on, but you have to go to the BeastPop ArtWorks facebook page and follow BeastPop, "like" the post about the contest and leave a comment on the post and on the TeeFury site. I'll be giving away shirts and original art!

So, do your patriotic duty and BUY THIS SHIRT (pretty please)! I don't want to hear any whingeing about it being too gory or too potentially upsetting or controversial. Grow yourself a pair and wear it proudly, I tell you!

BACK IN BLACK FOR MORE BRAINS!

He's coming back! Mark your calendars, hide your meat, board up the trailer... ZOMBAMA RETURNS! On Halloween (Oct 31) ZOMBAMA will return to the site that made him famous, TeeFury! But this isn't Zombama as you remember him... he's decayed a bit more since last time and he's starting to attract more flies and maggots (and he's printed on a sinister black shirt instead of Navy blue)! Anyway, you have been warned! Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your arch-enemies and those guys from the credit card companies that keep calling you and mispronouncing your last name!

ZOMBAMA RETURNS FROM THE GRAVE!!

A year and a half or so ago, I did a design parodying Shepard Fairey's Obama "Hope" poster and his "style" of art recycling. The result was Zombie Obama, more affectionately known as "Zombama", and he became quite popular, making the rounds of various websites, blogs and news sites, becoming TeeFury's most popular selling design at the time, and spawning two more rounds of shirt reprints, which I still get requests for to this day. He also became heavily bootlegged, being ripped off and sold by street vendors in New York City, shirt manufacturers in the Phillipines, graphic "artists", and comic book companies.

I was recently contacted by TeeFury concerning the possibility of doing a reprint of this shirt, and I had to jump at the opportunity. I still get a steady trickle of emails from folks asking about how to get a hold of this shirt, so now's your chance! Well, not NOW, but soon...

I figured I should tweak the design a bit since I usually see room for improvement the day after I'm done with a design. This would give the folks who did get a hold of the shirt the first couple times around a sense that they got something limited and rare, plus added incentive to buy it again, too! Genius! So, I further decayed his face and added some weathering effects to the design to bolster that grungy, undead feel.

Anyway, this should be available for sale over at TeeFury soon. I will post another update as soon as I know something more concrete.
