I'm game. Did you ever hear the MXPX song "Christmas Night of the Living Dead?" Its on their christmas album. Pure genius.

PS: I live next to a graveyard, so if the zombie incursion does happen, I'll be the first to go :P

[Amerasu]

I'm in too :)

[Merricat]

Thanks guys!

I haven't heard of that Dana, although my husband probably has - it never fails, when I say I haven't heard of something, he has!! And my husband teases me that that's the reason he won't live near a cemetery, he jokes and says "you KNOW we'll need a headstart!".

[princessgene]

How can I resist a dark themed swap? LOL I'm in...(Mmmmm how many swaps am I in now?)

[Merricat]

Mwuahaha! Certainly!

[al fresco gal]

Today I feel like one of the undead! Please sign me up.
Cheers, Margaret

[Merricat]

Awesomundo Margaret! Welcome aboard!

[artyiagirl]

Sometimes, at night, when I take out the dog, I hear rustling and scraping and a siren goes off in the distance and I think, it's started, the zombies are coming. :eek:

I'm terrified:shocked:, but I am in.

BTW - all you zombie fans should be sure to read World War Z!!

[Merricat]

Awesome! Thanks for joining! I haven't read it but I'm off to go look it up! :)

[artyiagirl]

Ok - Here's my first zombie-themed card, Zombie Buddies. Don't they look like they're hamming it up for the camera? Just another flesh-eating night :shocked: on the town for these two

[WhiteMoth]

I would love to join!

:goofy:

[Merricat]

Ooooh! I love those creepy smiles! They give me the shivers! LOL!

Whitemoth welcome! Welcome!!

[Merricat]

Ooh! And I looked up World War Z and it looks awesome! I've added it to my wishlist from Paperbackswap.com!

[artyiagirl]

Here are my other 3 zombies. (4 total - host's choice for the xtra). This was really a fun theme. I think I worked out some zombiephobia via atc-art therapy.

OH, and fyi the world war z author also wrote a zombie survival guide and Stephen King's The Cell is an excellent zombie read.

[Merricat]

Oooohh...there was a terrible smell and loud moans and groans coming from my mailbox yesterday! Artyiagirl your creepy zombies arrived! Thanks for the extra!

[Klawzie]

It's a little belated, but I'm signing up for this!

Are animated skeletons welcome? :D It's cool if they're not - I just had a ton of Halloween cards sketched up but have decided to do my Halloween project next year due to family stuff - so I have skeleton cards sketched up already. :D

Off to ink the outright zombies. :D

[Merricat]

Most certainly Klawzie! Animated Skeletons would classify as "undead"! Welcome!

[adriayna]

Kristi, can you drop me from this swap? I'm in a bit of a creative rut and am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Thanks hun!

[Merricat]

No problemo at alllll Dana! I'm going to have to drop from one of EQ's as well! Better go let her know! :P Thanks Dana!

[artyiagirl]

Oooohh...there was a terrible smell and loud moans and groans coming from my mailbox yesterday! Artyiagirl your creepy zombies arrived! Thanks for the extra!


This cracked me up :biglaugh: Glad they arrived safely and didn't wander around contaminating other people's mail!

[Klawzie]

And I've finished these cards too! XD These will be out in tomorrow's mail! Hopefully they do not eat the "Beauty of India" cards. (Then again, I have gods and tigers in that batch... So maybe they'll be okay.)

We have an animated skeleton-pirate:

As before - three cards for the swap and one card for the host. XD And it's your choice!

[Merricat]

Klawzie - WooHoo! I got yours.....I got to the mailbox just in time to prevent a massacre! But luckily I saved the princesses in time! LOL!!! Thanks a mill for the extra!

[Merricat]

I forgot to post my Valley Zombie Girls to the thread!

Dina - I love the zombie priest. great costuming!!!

Thank you to our fabulous host and to all you zombie artists :jiggy:

[Klawzie]

Ahahaha - awesome. XD You can make a print of it to give to her, if you like? I don't mind if you make a print for each of her friends, even. XD That way you can have the original and not have to worry about it. XD
