Zombies!

Here's one of a handful of artworks I made for the band "Unholy" on Prosthetic Records.

Oh hey…I picked up the Beasts Book 2 a few weeks ago. Your work looks great. The design of the inner covers with your monsters was quite stunning…; January 29, 2009 at 9:52 AM
Aeron said...: Thanks, I designed the floating corpse to look like it was almost spinning so when the cd and record are turned it will look... interesting.

And thanks about Beasts! Book 2, I don't know if you're near San Francisco but I have a huge poster at the Giant Robot gallery with all those suns of bitches, not to be missed!

I think I remember you bought a few of those earlier creatures from me a few years back?; January 29, 2009 at 11:26 PM

Human Mollusk said...: Yeah, the texture on those corpses is fantastic! The color takes your work to a whole new level.
The figures look a bit cut-out though. I take it that's intentional but it flattens the figures in the foreground.; January 30, 2009 at 3:54 PM
Aeron said...: Thanks, I've been really pushing color in some recent projects and have been getting my head better and better wrapped around it.

The colors in this have been darkened, the image has gone through a long process of tweaks and changes. I opted out of a dramatic shadow or contrast shift across the corpses to try to keep more of the details intact. I'm sure that plays into any flattening effect. I wasn't too worried about any real physicality to the scene as it is intended to come across more... dream like I suppose.; January 30, 2009 at 4:20 PM
zeke said...: Think there's a really cool blend of cartoon and realism in it that I find very satisfying.; January 30, 2009 at 4:39 PM

James Ensor would be proud.; February 4, 2009 at 7:47 PM
