2014 Zombie

This is actually my second pass on my annual tradition of drawing a zombie for the blog every January.  The first one was too similar to the Midnight Harvest drawings (and may very well end up in that book if I can find the room).

Opted for a more subtle hand on the gore than in times past.

Hope everyone's year is going well so far.

2013 Zombie drawing

Wasn't having any appropriate zombie ideas New Year's Eve. so I was actually considering doing something other than a New Year's Zombie.  It was a little depressing to consider giving up after doing one every year since 2007, though.

A day later I thought "hey, that's kinda creepy".

And so, here's the 2013 model zombie.  I think it's the first female and the first victim, too.

Hope everyone's year is off to a great start!

New Year's Zombie 2012

Since I started the blog, I've tried to make it a tradition to start the year off with a quick zombie sketch.  Here's 2012!  Unlike previous years I did this one digitally.

You can see the previous year's  zombies here:
The first ever blog entry in 2007:

2008 I was hit by by some stupidity and poor communication by a former employer and ended up only drawing a zombie near the end of the month :

2009 started off on time with a January 1st posting:

2010's zombie landed three weeks late, but he brought friends:

And last year was on time and better dressed:

In hindsight, I think I prefer the textures from  the pencil drawings.  I have a year to think about it.

Hope everyone has a great year ahead of them!
