Early Signs Of Summer.

My Eyes are currently both dry and itchy, yet somehow gooey and sticky at the same time with Hay Fever at the moment. Not even sure how that is possible.

I also recently keep waking up with large, red, weird insect bites all over my body in the morning that itch like hell and freak me out.   

So I guess Summer has officially started for me.

Despite the evil Hay Fever, runny eyes and multiple bites, I do have an overwhelming urge to be outside and back in nature this Summer, though. I'm not really built for the hot weather, but because of all the months in lockdown lately, I just really wanna enjoy it before it's gone and I'm stuck back indoors again.

Sharpie Zombie.

It's been a rubbish couple of weeks recently really, if I'm honest... Don't get me wrong, it's nice to be slowly coming out of lockdown. I just feel like I have zero luck lately. I feel about as lucky as a stepped on Four-Leaf Clover right now.  

So to cheer myself up I treated myself to a new Sharpie Pen yesterday. I know a lot of comic book artists favour them, but have never got around to trying one myself until now. I thought I'd break it in by sketching a nice grisly Zombie with it to begin with. 

I actually find drawing Zombies kind of relaxing. You don't have to worry about making them appear good looking or anything. The rougher they look, the better sometimes. 

I kind of wish the comic market wasn't so packed full of Zombies at the moment, as I'd love to do an undead project at some point one day. With all the mainstream toothless Zombie Kids Shows and movies out at the moment, I'd love to go back to when they were darker and more threatening. Do something gross and gory with more bite.

The Hatching.

Had this nightmare moment last week when a Spider's Nest hatched in my bathroom and there were just dozens and dozens of tiny baby spiders running across my ceiling like an evil living shadow or something come to life. I'd never seen so many spiders in one place before. Newly born and all making a dash for freedom.

Now this week, quite often when I put my flannel in the sink to have a wash before going to bed, loads of dead baby spiders will come floating out to greet me.

The All Seeing Zombie.

With his one good eye and a hunger for human flesh that can never be satisfied, the all seeing Zombie stumbles down the street looking for his next victim. Watching and listening for any human survivors he can find and feast on.

I was deleting a lot of old Halloween photos off a Memory Card recently, and came across this pic. I think I hated it at the time, but looking at it again, I'm actually ok with it. Who doesn't love a green, one-eyed, flesh-eater. That is one ghoulish peeper. 

Like many horror fans, one of my many 'bucket list' ambitions in life is to one day be a Zombie in a Zombie flick or something. So hopefully maybe one day Zombie Andrew may make a return.

Looking at this photo... I also see I have the same cheekbone set-up as a cheap, plastic, Halloween, Zombie mask. That's depressing...
