Undead eats Undead eats Dead

The rules of the apocalypse are pretty simple for zombies. Find the living and eat them. Occasionally overzealous and unfortunate starving frustrated and frazzled zombies feast on the flesh of friends and fiends in the frantic feeding frenzy.
Eat or be eaten, or be eaten while eating.
The apocalypse is a crazy time.

Are smart brains better?

Someone once told me that smart people have better tasting brains. I thought about testing that theory, but I couldn't tell the difference. Maybe I don't know the proper recipes.

Zombie Cyclist!

This is Greg ... he's my neighbor and he's big in to biking. If you see him shambling around, run him over, just be sure to use a vehicle and not a bike.You'll be doing the world a favour ;)

Just a little psycho around the eyes

Things are starting to get a little more psychedelic with some of the zombies. Natural progress or strange mutation of my senses? You be the judge

A Zombie Cat's Best Friend

The zombie cats are a great contributing force behind the zombie apocalypse. Many zombie cats adopt zombies as a sort of perverse edible pet. If you risk getting close enough, you'll even see chewing marks on some of the zombies.

Crazy zombie kitty

From Italy with gore

Very slowly the 1000 zombie project is infecting the globe. These two rotten rotting rotters are from the land of antipasto, where the infection has only just begun.
I think I should figure out which countries I have already infected and map it out. Might be a great time sucking thing to do.

Join the horde folks, once it's done, it's done.
right?

Pun Intended

The amazing horror mom is also an amazing horror wife ... and is owned by a pet zombie cat too.
I don't think this undead kitteh really likes hearing this guy talk.

:P

Love hurts ...

When a mother's love goes to far, kids lose an eye.
That doesn't sound right though ... it's kinda weird knowing that the mother of this kid actually suggested I take his eye out.

The apocalypse has no limits and anything goes

Zombie Mother of the Year?

Not only did she subject herself to getting zombified ... she got her husband, 2 sons and their pet cat to join the horde as well. This is a quality zomBmom if I ever drew one.

Punish or Reward? Why not both :)

This little kid is probably ... or rather WAS probably a teenager. His momma gave me cash to rip apart his face and show the world what he looks like with undead eyes. Is it a punishment for something bad he has done, or a present for something good he has done. OR ... is it most likely that his mom is super awesome and spent some of her cash to turn the whole family in to a bunch of zombies for the 1000 zombies project.

You decide!
And then join the horde dammit!
Trying to make it easier, but not cheaper, by adding it to my store here!!

Evil Squee

This is the great and wonderful EVIL SQUEE ... I can not confirm the name but what I do know is that good solid chains can save a life. She might look and act like a sweet lovable kitteh but lurking beneath that blank green stare is a killer cat.

Remember ... if you can't put an end to a zombie cat, at least chain them up. For your safety as much as mine. PSA PEOPLE!

Praise the Horde!

It was dark when I found her, exhausted and scared. She looked at me with tear filled eyes and I could almost taste her fear. She survived the initial wave of the apocalypse only to find herself alone, afraid, and hopelessly lost. I approached her with an offer of escape from the nightmare she couldn't wake up from. In her desperation a desperate decision was decided and she cautiously took my outstretched hand, a faint glimmer of hope in the red rimmed eyes.
I smiled and led her out of her darkness and in to my light.
She smiled back, eventually and without choice.

Hug a Zombie ... Feed a Zombie

Never get between a zombie and it's meal or you might become dessert.

Want to join the horde ... limited space

not all zombies are rotting ... yet

But it won't be long, especially in the heat.

Want to join the project, it's as little as ten bucks per zombie.

Here's a Story ... about Zombie Laurie . . .

This latest zombie is actually Laurie ... whose face I destroyed because I'm having a bad day. There are parts of this image I love and hate ... I wonder how Laurie feels.

Join the horde people ... I need you!

I want you to JOIN THE HORDE!

Hey guys! It's been about a week or so now since I've started up the 1000 zombies project and really started to try to take control of my life. There are still so many things that are threatening my mental well being, especially regarding work stuff ... aka ... this trainwreck I call my art career.

But whatever... life keeps going on and I'm being tested by the universe to see if I'll crumble again and hide out until someone else comes and solves my issues. So far I haven't crumbled but it's a razors edge.

I'm doing my best to get past this next hurdle, not get down on myself and keep feeding positive vibes to everyone that I come in contact with.

So you, right now, reading my words in your head ... thank you for being awesome! You've taken valuable time out of your precious life and spent it with me, in a way. Thank you.

The newest hurdle isn't that new actually, it's rather quite old and one day I hope it dies a quick and unnoticed death. It's the money hurdle again ... we have none and only enough food to last until the weekend is over, and on top of that I need to generate a couple of hundred so that I can get my middle child to a triple A baseball tournament next weekend.

I need to make some art sales in a big way. I'm really hoping more people want to get themselves a zombie portrait. It's as little as ten bucks and helps out in more ways than just one. I get money, you get an amazing zombie portrait created, the 1000 zombies art project gets 1 more zombie closer to completion and I also get to practice drawing zombie portraits. If you want to help, make a donation to paypal.me/byronrempel and then send me your mug shot.

I also found some really cool old art pieces from 3 or more years ago and I'm adding them to my store for a measely $20. Here's hoping to a few quick sales! http://thehorde.storenvy.com if you want to see what I have there.

Other than that, I'm working on the long term solution by putting my work on POD stores and getting books ready as well ... if anyone has other ideas that I should try, let me know.

Hhnnnnnngh ... Nay NAY muthafuka

It isn't hunger that drives this zombie ... it's the determination to do better today than it did yesterday, even if it means tearing through and destroying all those that prevent it from achieving it's goals.

NAY NAY MUTHA FUCKA

Wade ... feeling hungry for something warm and screaming

Big shout out to this guy right here ... Wade!! Wade is a zombie now, part of the 1000 zombies project. We don't know his number but once we do we'll brand it on the back.

Thanks for the support Wade! Super appreciated. One more zombie closer to 1000 :)
Who's next?

third in the resurrection

The third zombie portrait is complete and the re-resurrection of the 1000 zombies art project is well underway. There are a half dozen people in queue waiting to turn and I've managed to complete at least one new one per day so far. I really enjoy the direction the zombie portrait artwork has taken, to bad I can't capture the hues and shading properly, it looks much different in real life.

If you want to be a part of the 1000 zombies art project, a minimum donation of $10 to paypal.me/byronrempel is all it takes, plus send your picture to byronjrempel@gmail.com

First come first served ... soon there will be a list so you will know when your zombie is getting created and how long your wait is.

Have a great day everyone ... please help spread this infection :)
Byron

the second of the new batch

This is the next zombie in the newest batch of zombie portraits ... while it looks pretty good digitally it looks much darker in real life. Happy for the effect and the chance to play around on peoples faces.
Thank you ...

restarting the 1000 zombies project

The newest zombie portrait that marks the restart of the 1000 zombies project.

Not starting from scratch, starting from where we left off ... so what number is this zombie?

I need to figure that out :)
