From the Archives: Back to School
Here we have the Zombie Bites header from August 2014, Back to School. As everyone knows, those first few days of the school year can be very challenging. All those young minds hungry for...uhm...knowledge. With fresh hosts all lined up in their seats, a school bus ride would be an ideal set of conditions for the zombie infection to take root. Before the bus driver could realize what all the noise and screaming was about, it would be far too late for everyone. The bus would quickly become a cairn for the living dead.

During 2014, I began creating a new header each month depicting a scene associated with the dominate holiday for that month but with a zombie twist. I'll be posting the headers here in From the Archives to give them a nice dark corner to fester in. I'll also be posting the images with and without the logo so you can see the parts of the background image that were covered by the logo. Thanks for viewing and reading!
I apologize that I am unable to post the header without the logo. I had a computer crash back in August of 2014 and lost access to some of my files and data. I do not currently have access to the logo-less version of this image, but as soon as I do, I will post it here.
If you like what you see here, be sure to check out Valentine's Day, Saint Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and The Horde of July.

From the Archives: The Horde of July
Here we have the Zombie Bites header from July 2014, The Horde of July. As the zombie infection spread, all armed forces were called upon to defend the human race. In the end, the soldiers were overwhelmed and reanimated as more mutilated hosts. In the sweltering heat of summer the horde seeks out those it once sought to protect. The horde hungers.

From the Archives: Father's Day
Here we have the Zombie Bites header from the month of June 2014, Father's Day. Who knows what happened outside to cause the cook out to go horribly awry. What dread horror in the backyard made Daddy this way? Mother and child are safe and hiding within the house, but for how long? Daddy sure looks hungry.

Psyche Delectus: Invisibles Day 2014
The light and warmth of summer has passed. Chill winds blow outside. The world is caked in ice, but a fire still burns within. Though the dark half of the year is full upon us, there comes a day for rekindling the fire. Each year on November 23rd I celebrate the re-ignition of failing light with a new piece of art dedicated to one of my favorite comic books series, The Invisibles.On November 23rd, 1995 Grant Morrison involved the readers of his comic book series The Invisibles in a group act of sigil magick. Check out the original letters page to see how the idea was initially presented. Join me today in my annual celebration of The Invisibles Hypersigil!

From the Archives: Hooded Figure
This piece was painted in Photoshop. The image was later expanded to become a tshirt design at my Neatoshop.Friday, November 14, 2014
From the Archives: Happy Mother's Day!
This is the header from May 2014. In this piece I again faced the challenge of the pastel / bright color palette, but luckily the mother zombie takes up a good bit of real estate in the image. With the only light source being the window, that help neutralize things a bit. I did enjoy leaving the happy sunshine and clouds picture mostly bright as a counter point to the horror of the implied action in this scene.

The Parade: Part VI, Trixie's Walk
Trixie's Walk
Doris Hutchens opened the refrigerator and looked plaintively at its contents. She wasn't really hungry but there was still some time until the news and she was bored. She would go to bed after, but she needed a quick update. Tomorrow was going to be a day long event and she'd have no time to catch up until Sunday afternoon. She had multiple clients to see before noon and then parade preparations all afternoon. There was still a piece of cheesecake left in the fridge from their dinner out in Hamptonville. She scooped it up and placed it on a saucer.
At least everyone's costumes were finished. She had finished all the sewing Wednesday. She and Renee and Margaret, the two other stylists from the Style Shop, were all going to be dressed as 1950's housewives but with a witchy twist. The float they would be riding had been constructed with three swings created to look like brooms. When they sat in the swings, it would appear as though they were flying on broomsticks. The rest of the float was constructed to look like glitter covered clouds.
She sat at the kitchen table and dug her fork into the cheesecake. She savored the first creamy bites as they dissolved against her tongue. Trixie, her chihuahua, came into the room and whined at her feet. Doris dropped a small bite of the cheesecake onto the floor and Trixie quickly devoured it. Doris leaned down and nuzzled the dogs' ears.

The Parade: Part V, Mystery on Maryland Avenue
Mystery on Maryland Avenue
Maureen pulled her car onto Baker, the street leading to her neighborhood. A thin fog had settled in amongst the trees and had given everything a faint glowing aura. She slowed to enjoy the view. Despite its inherent danger to drivers, Maureen had always enjoyed the magic of fog. Fog could make any landscape mysterious and otherworldly, even the plain streets of Rivercross.She reached over into the passenger seat and flipped open the styrofoam take out box from the Star diner. She extracted a single french fry and shoved it into her mouth. She hadn't had anything to eat since she'd begun her shift at four. She ate several more fries before closing the box. Once she got home, she and her husband Daryl would have a late dinner. He always waited so that he could eat with her. Although he usually had four or five beers before she got home.
Daryl had tried cooking dinner once long ago and had nearly burnt the house down. Maureen had forbidden him in the kitchen since. Her compromise was to bring dinner back after her part time shift at the Star. She worked mornings at Norris grocery and a few hours in the evening at the Star. After two shifts, Maureen just didn't have the energy to cook as well.

From the Archives: November
A very recent piece from some of my painting play in Photoshop and a general litmus for how I felt after this years election cycle.
