The author that I was creating a portrait for is one of my all time favorites – Gary A. Braunbeck. The piece is finally completed and you can check it out in the GDDS Gallery.
There’s also some new promotional material designs in the GDDS Print Section.

I rarely show one of my art pieces before they’re finished, but I am so damned happy with the progress of this one thus far that I have to show it off. This is an author’s portrait, sans author right now since I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag as to who it’s for. I will give you a hint though – They’re an award-winning author. Ha! Like that really narrows it down, right.
My little test seems to have work. The last post made it to my LiveJournal account. But in the interest of getting all of the kinks out of this plugin here’s another zombie related post:
I’m testing out a plugin that’s supposed to repost my ZoMoPro posts to my LiveJournal blog. I think there’s some interactive functions as well, so it isn’t the syndication option that LiveJournal provides. It may work. It may go terribly wrong. Who knows? It’ll be a fun little adventure.
And in the interest in making this post at least not so damned boring here’s a swank video of this past Easter’s Philly Zombie Crawl. It was put together by Philly local filmogapher Bob Sweeney.

I’ll be participating in the group showing OBSCURA / Catwalk Tragedy, a two day event taking place on Friday May 1st and Saturday May 2nd at the The Trocadero Theatre here in Philadelphia. There will be various performances including Live Not on Evil and Rigor Mortis Review and a few photography book releases. I’ll be there for the first night OBSCURA so be sure to come out and support local Philly creativity.
I’ve uploaded a couple of new things: A new print design for the upcoming event Power Strip Festival, which takes place July 10th and 11th at the The Trocadero Theatre. There’s also new a new piece of artwork entitled “FINAL CUT”, which is also available as a print!
The Japanese have again taken things up a notch with its conquest to be the masters of WTF culture by offering the world this fun little romp named Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl. No need for me to try and describe what the film is about. The name does a fine enough job. In truth I don’t think I can actually tell you what this film is about. I mean yeah, there’s some girl named Vampire Girl trying to kill some other girl named Frankenstein Girl. But outside of that I… I… I’m so at a loss where to even begin. It’s like every messed up thing Japan ever created was crammed into this blood opus. Which now that I think of it will probably make this an instant hit as well as one of the greatest drinking games ever.
So this past weekend I attended the National Haunters Convention, which took place at the Valley Forge Convention Center right outside of Philly. It’s a mix of a Haunted Attraction trade show and Halloween enthusiast show and included a tour of a local haunt named the Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride. There was a lot going on for me including running a class. A fun time was had by all.
And ’cause I’m a glutton for punishment, Sunday was the 4th annual Philly Zombie Crawl on South Street. My guess, and it’s just that, is that we had some 400 zombies wandering around South Street from bar to bar. All in all it was pretty successful. Being that I’m one of the organizer monkeys there was a lot going on for me. A fun time was had by all.
Sooo… Instead of going through all of the details of both events you can peruse all of the photographs I took this past weekend. Think of it as a gruesome picture book instead of me being a lazy bum.

Verizon, my Internet Service Provider, is experiencing outages throughout the Philadelphia region today and doesn’t expect to have things back to normal until 1:00 PM (EST) today. This means that my online access will be sporadic until Verizon has this issue fixed later today.
