| Gentleman Zombie - 18x24, oil on canvas |
For some reason I find the idea of a traditional portrait, but of a zombie appearing as if he actually posed for it, really funny. I kept laughing to myself as I was painting it, maybe it's just me. I decided to use Sargent's portrait of Coventry Patmore as a guide and follow a sketch I did (which itself was a progression from
this drawing I did years ago). I'd hoped to get this idea out of my head but I had so much fun with it, I'm already planning a companion piece of a sophisticated Lady Zombie.
