Graham Humphreys: “Zombie Flesh Eaters” Artwork.

Never in a million years would I ever show you one of my illustrations before it was finished.
It’ll never happen.

Apart from spoiling the magic of my work a little, the process would expose me as the pretend artist I actually am! That said, I love to see and learn from the works in progress of other artists and illustrators and today I’d like to show you Graham Humphrey’s new artwork, start to finish, for the 1979 Italian classic, “Zombie Flesh Eaters“.

You’ve all seen “Zombie Flesh Eaters” right?
You all remember the underwater scene where a ZOMBIE FIGHTS A SHARK don’t you?
I found these images through looking about for information on the new Arrow Films DVD print of “Zombie Flesh Eaters” and aside from being a pretend artist in my spare time, I also occasionally steal articles from other sites. Not in attempt to be interesting or because I don’t have my own shit to say you understand, but because I find it very interesting and educational and I think that a lot of other people may feel the same way.

…Which is why I have shamelessly lifted the following images from a WONDERFUL place called Death Waltz Recording Company who, as far I understand it, release rare and out of print horror movie soundtracks on newly pressed vinyl and I really hope that they don’t mind my doing so because images like the following ones are sure to help all of you young wanna-be pretend artists and illustrators.

I wish I’d seen something like these when I was 10 years old instead of 30.

Photos From The “World War Z” Glasgow Set.

It’s really strange walking around the centre of Glasgow just now. Every so often you’ll hear the words “Dead Body”, “Zombies” and yesterday, I even overheard a wee girl say “Is this Judgment Day Dad?”.
It’s quite creepy.
The “World War Z” production has rolled into town!

For roughly 2 weeks, George Square will be doubling for Philadelphia as Brad Pitt films his scenes for the post-apocalyptic zombie flick “World War Z” and if you ask me, it’s one of the best things to happen to the city for a while. The streets are totally buzzing!

I live 5 minutes walk away from the set and I’ve been going down as much as possible. I can’t believe how quickly the Square has been transformed to look like Philly and we’re not just talking about putting a couple of American flags here and there either.

Painted road signs and markings have been removed and replaced with American signs, traffic lights have been pulled down and been replaced with (much cooler looking) ‘WALK’ and “DON’T WALK’ signs and streets have been renamed.

The really cool stuff happened a couple of days ago when a huge car crash was staged! Surprisingly, the producers of “World War Z” have no problem with the public getting up real close with their cameras most of the time and yesterday, we got to walk along the crash scene which was great because they actually had dummies lying dead in their crumpled cars and…actually, shall I just shut up and show you some of the the photos I took?

You should get yourself down to George Square and take all of this stuff in because in a matter of days it’ll all be gone.

Modern Vintage Movie Posters Part II.

…From Part I…

Didn’t I tell you I’d saved the best for last?
What about those ‘Shining‘ posters!?

So,
That’s the amazing ‘Modern Vintage Movie Posters’ of Tom Whalen.

But it’s nowhere near all of them.
Nope.

He’s a mysterious character.
His main site seems to be HERE.

Bye for now folks!
