zombie 59 is the Cheshire Cat

When I was asked to paint the Cheshire Cat for the 1000 zombies project ( thanks +Denise Morgan Kalicki ) I thought it would be awesome ... I started with the smile and then things changed quickly. It was all acrylics but eventually went to a bit of pen as well ... creepy ass cat is creepy.

Zombie 58 is another tight portrait painting. Again I resorted to the use of pens though I'm not sure why. The paint itself was doing the trick. More doubt probably. The teeth are particularly bad,both in how they were painted and how they look.

If I remember correctly, this portrait is based on +Branden Haize

For the 57th zombie of the project I really tried hard to avoid the crutch of the pen. 98% of this painting is all acrylic and while I did cut really close in on the face, when you put this image beside the 56th zombie painting of +Stacy Frazer - it sort of looks like she's chewing on him.

At this point I've painted 5 acrylic zombies and I am pretty sure the weeds of self doubt were starting to take root but I still plowed on. I was beginning to like slopping the paint on to the canvas and you can see some big gobs on the hair. I still didn't trust myself enough for the small details so once again the pen came out. 

It's tricky drawing on canvas with a pen.

zombie 55 - Clare

I'm not quite sure if The lighting on this one is intentional or if its a result of the camera or scanning. Which ever it is, I'm taking FULL CREDIT for it ;)

I like how it makes it look like she could be hiding in your closet, the light from the room illuminating part of her face. This is the calm before the storm Clare. Once she realizes you're in here, and you're FOOD she'll burst in to action and rip you apart in her frantic desire to NOMNOMNOM you.

Yes ... your closet, not mine.

Sleep well ...
