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.

John Dee, Doctor Destiny, has always been one of my favorite DC villains. Destiny was one of the earliest enemies of the Justice League of America. I've always found his hooded skeletal visage especially creepy.

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.

Next month, on Saturday May 9th, I will be showing in the Artist's Alley at SPARTANCON. This will be my second year showing at Spartancon.
The convention will be held in downtown Spartanburg, South Carolina at the Main Branch of the
library. Please check out the links below for more info. I had a great time last year and am looking forward to showing again this year. Some fun photos from last year are here, here, and here.
If you are in the area next month, drop by and see the sights. It was a great deal of fun last year and I promise you will enjoy yourself! I'll be posting more as we get closer to the convention so please check
back to see what's new.
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.

An older piece depicting a disturbed emotive state. With the color reinvestigation, I wanted to add a stronger sense of motion within the piece to indicate that the individual distortion had begun to effect the surrounding environment. I also chose to confine my palette to "body" colors: light flesh, blood, excretions. With the use of these body specific colors, my intent was to give the image a subtle disturbing quality that intimated the visceral aspects of the black and white sketch with further graphic representation.

I'm sorry that things have been so disrupted at Zombie Bites of late. I've developed some reservations about what I am actually accomplishing and it has completely sapped any motivation. The work I've produced over the past year has not achieved any of the goals I desired.
It is time for a change. Right now, I'm unsure what form that change will take. For now my posts here will be more sporadic. There are several unfinished stories that I do want to complete, but things are going to slow down here as I work my next move. I appreciate all of you who have followed so far. I appreciate your readership, patience, and support. I'll keep you posted as things develop.
Here we've exhumed a sketch of a Lich from a fantasy story I was working on. In the color reinvestigation I digitally inked the image then added a background doorway for this creepy guy to have just walked through. I kept the lighting dim to add to the ambiance and surrounded him in a cloud of noxious fog to keep him ghostly despite his black cloak.

Here we have the Interloper, an Eternal who appeared in the last issues of the New Defenders run. After he first appeared, he spent several issues traveling across the world to get to the New Defenders. He literally walked across the ocean from the Russia to North America to help stop the Dragon of the Moon.

Excerpted From Marge Hollander's Digest of Demons and Devils:
"Whisperers are dire phantoms that will lead humans psychically and emotionally astray even unto death. A Whisperer will seek out a victim that is already emotionally agitated or distraught and begin to misdirect their emotions towards the goals of the Whisperer. It is unknown exactly how the phantoms control their victims, but those who have survived the persuasions of these demonic ghosts claim to have heard whispering voices and to have encountered vaporous apparitions.
Here we have Dakimh the Enchanter. Although he first appeared in Adventure into Fear, I did not encounter him until his appearance with Man-Thing in Marvel Team-Up.
