[02] COUNTDOWN to HALLOWEEN: Zombie Walk of Fame

Here is your promised treat to end up your work week... these are just some of my Zombie Walk of Fame Divas! Get a good long gander boys... don't they look enticing? They'll look even better blown out in full color over the next few months. From the 101 Zombies featured in this series, I had a hard time narrowing it down for this post tonight. Among those that didn't even make the cut were Marilyn Monroe, Winona Ryder, Betty Grable, and others. I envy your fresh eyes, enjoy...

Audrey Hepburn
Zombie line work

Audrey Hepburn was THE starlet of Hollywood in the 1950's and early 60's. She starred along side literally every leading man in the film industry in her day. Hepburn's last motion picture role, a cameo appearance, was as an angel in a Steven Spielberg's Always, filmed in 1988. She dedicated most of her latter life to humanitarianism in the world abroad. Marilyn is famous for singing Happy Birthday, Mr. President to JFK but Audrey sang at what turned out to be his last birthday one year later in 1953. She sang Happy Birthday, Dear Jack... a creeepy fact to start you down the Zombie Walk of Fame tonight.

[03] COUNTDOWN to HALLOWEEN: Zombie Walk of Fame

I have one more team-up for you tonight before I get to our divas of the 101 stars I've chosen to get my own special brain-biting treatment down here in Dreg Town on the Zombie Walk of Fame. I'll be looking to schedule my exhibit for this series sometime in 2011-2012 to coincide with a book release of the entire series. For now, your sneak peak tonight is frakin' awesome if I do say so myself...

Tonight's stars from the Zombie Walk of Fame are the classic comedy duo of Abbott and Costello. Originally burlesque comics (both married burlesque performers also), Bud Abbott and Lou Costello became the most popular comedy act in show biz in the 1940's and 1950's. Check out the preview of this work in progress...

[06] COUNTDOWN to HALLOWEEN: Zombie Walk of Fame

Theodor Geisel wrote and illustrated some of the most famous children's books of all time under the pseudonyms Dr. Seuss, Theo LeSieg and, in one case, Rosetta Stone. Geisel's work as Dr. Seuss has been adapted into broadway musicals, television specials, and more recently, feature films. The Dr. Seuss name appears on Geisel's star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.

As we keep down our dark path tonight, I present you with my Dr. Seuss Zombie sketch and linework from my upcoming Zombie Walk of Fame series (in progress.) This was one of the first names that popped out at me when I initially browsed through the list of stars who have the honor (or dishonor) of having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Geisel was one of the first celebrities I sketched. And yes, those WILL be green eggs and brains pouring out of the hat!

Both the Star Trek and Star Wars universes are licensing titans which make money with or without new on-screen material via toys, comics, novels, games, and you guessed it, costumes.
