Self-serving final project

I took a digital art class this semester and just finished up today-hurray! For my final project I wanted to do something that I could use once the class was over, as I have far too many old projects just lying around the apartment collecting dust. So I did a series of zombie t-shirts (a la my 28 Weeks Later shirt). The last two shirts I used the pic I posted below, and the top one is an image from a 2 Halloweens ago. As you can see, I'm not so keen on ironing.







The transfers I used are crap for sure, very plasticky and cracked as soon as I folded the shirt. If I do this again I will use my original method or find a better brand of transfer. But at least I have the images ready to go.

Belated Happy Halloween!

Nothin' like a Halloween post less than 3 weeks before Christmas, but I just got this pic of my husband and me back from a friend, and couldn't resist a little picnik. We were 1980s Zombie Prom King & Queen, in case it wasn't obvious.

Some zombie fun!

Here is a pic of some zombie note cards I purchased from seller MATTY8080 on Etsy.com. I plan on arranging them behind a frame and putting them in my new office. It's not too over-the-top ghoulish/grotesque zombie imagery so I figured I'd be safe displaying them in a professional environment.

Did I say I was obsessed?

I made this t-shirt to go see 28 Weeks Later...yeah...I did.

Consider it like people that dress up to see Pirates, or Harry Potter. I just happened to be the only one to do it for this movie.

I used this amazing tutorial except I used fabric paint instead of screenprinting ink. In the future I think I will A.) Use screenpriting ink B.) Use a looser weave of fabric.

According to the site from which I got the image: "The first draft of the IR promotional poster was 'too in your face'". Well, considering I almost had to leave the theatre while watching 28 Days Later because I was so disturbed by it I'd say this creepy poster would have been very apropos!

Zombie Love

Okay, I was hesitant to make this my first actual post as it is quite disgusting, but I feel it expresses my love for homemade things as well as zombies. This was a birthday cake for a good friend who lets me indulge in my zombie fetish and doesn’t call me crazy. He too, appreciates all things zombies so it was only fitting this be a cake for him. I copied the idea from a post on the Craftster forum.

** 10/21/08**Updated picture to my actual cake...apologies to Kate (Craftster author) for using her pic for the last year and a half- I had them both saved on my computer and erroneously uploaded hers and never looked back.
