Awesome Creepy Zombies by André de Freitas

PauloGabriel — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:12:45 +0000

Zombies are all over the place. The 2nd season of The Walking Dead has just began and people are all freaking out because of the outbreak. I mean, what would you do if Iron Man became a zombie? Hide you kids, tell you that.

The man behind these is Peruvian illustrator André de Freitas (who is definitely sporting a Brazilian name there). These are pretty awesome, and creepy with you image zombies with super powers. But one thing for sure, the Donald Duck zombie is way creepier than any other zombie here. Anyways, for more of André's work, please visit his portfolio! He'll appreciate it for sure! Cheers! ;)

The Zwatch Project

abduzeedo — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:26:02 +0000

Zwatch is an online community and multimedia art project about zombies. Created by Alexander Laccarino and his Zteam in 2009, Zwatch launched in the Quad Cities of the Iowa/Illinois area following a fictitious story of a local zombie outbreak. The unsuspecting public took the project seriously and madness ensued.

The Story

In the summer of 2009, Zacharia Furio, a 21-year-old from Davenport, Iowa, was working for the Quad City Department of Biological Sciences, when he suddenly disappeared. His brother launched a website, www.zwatch.org, to help in finding his missing brother, who was suspected of being the subject of testing on a man-made strain of viruses. After the site displayed redacted police files, missing person's reports and other documents, the local media took interest.

The site questioned authority. The story was off and running.

Over time, a series of documentary shorts, photographs, more official documents and articles from a “lone wolf” reporter flooded zwatch.org, in addition to hundreds of emails, blog posts/comments about Zacharia, his whereabouts, revealing a cover-up, Zacharia's infection and eventual return home.

Still, people questioned whether it was real. In the end, it wasn't. At least, not entirely. It was the creation of Alexander Iaccarino and a group of cohorts and artists known affectionately as the “Z-Team”.

My latest project, zwatch.org, began as a viral hoax of a zombie outbreak and cover-up in the Quad Cities to promote my Halloween event, The Zombie Pride Parade. And how it ended was a different story, one best told by fellow zombie and friend, Ryan Collins.....

This past Halloween, something happened in the Quad Cities. Something about a missing person, an Internet hoax, an H1Z1 virus, and the threat of artists going to jail for their craft. Something…undead.

Zombies and their related ephemera are a cultural phenomenon, ever-present in books, cinema, video games, etc.

I was surfing on Behance when I found one incredible image of a monster. It was quite creepy but really well done, so I decided to check out the author's portfolio. Aja Jones is a digital artists from France with a incredible set of monsters and macabre creatures design. All of them are creative photo manipulations, mixed with paintings and illustration. I would love to see his design process on them.
