This week I've had "spooky" on the brain because of Illustration Friday's theme...
Tam's free class "Art, Heart & Healing" started on Monday. Since then I've been working on mixed-media portraits (with a "spooky" twist).
Z is for Zombie
And for fun, I drew a left-handed zombie on a scrap sheet of paper then used Paul Klee's transfer method to add it to my sketchbook.
Why am I zombie crazy?
Here at Casa Dudish we like to sing silly songs. We get a kick out of changing the lyrics to well-known tunes. Over the weekend T-man and I replaced the words in Cookie Monster's "C is for Cookie" song. With what? "Z is for Zombie", of course!
Z is for Zombie, that's good enough for me
Z is for Zombie, that's good enough for me
Z is for Zombie, that's good enough for me
Ohhhh... Zombie Zombie Zombie starts with Z!
Add some cool zombie dance moves and you have a crazy good time!
In case you've never heard the original "C is for Cookie" song, here is the video:
(Less than 2 weeks until 30 in 30 for 30!!!)
The top two are truly spooky, while the zombie is lots of fun! Yes, you gotta love those old school Sesame Street songs. Genius stuff I think!

ReplyDeleteOOOOHHH the top two are spooky! I think it is the eyes. I love the shading on your spooky girls.
ReplyDeletespooky chicks for sure...the one has jaundice and the other must have just come off the set of Vampire Diaries...I love the Zombie...made me smile!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's Paul Klee's transfer method? I really really like the effect of that (I'm a real sucker for texture--and that sure has it).
ReplyDeletedelightfully frightful....i am loving the first two girls!!! awesome stuff, my friend! xo
ReplyDeletespooky and darling all at the same time!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the zombies, spooky-yes, pretty-yes, fun-definitely.
ReplyDeleteGreat spooky girls and zombie guy! Those eyes and somber faces are very spooky but beautiful nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteIn Canada that song would never work.. we like our zzzs as zeds!
You are such an incredibly creative girl. I love the first one the best. The face with the combo of that shade of blue definitely creates the feeling of being spooked out! :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh those beautiful ladies are gorgeous and I love the blue, they are both very striking! I love zombies too and yours is adorable (can zombies be adorable? heheheh)
ReplyDeleteOh--oh--oh--I love these!!
ReplyDeleteHi thanks for the visit and nice comment! I love your style, and I really must show my 10 year old son your z is for zombie--He's quite the fan of the living dead. I especially enjoyed your "about me" you have a great attitude! Best to you :)
