Zombiemonkie we have just the ticket for you! As part of his "
Zombie-A-Day Art Project" he held back a serious cool set of custom Zombies to giveaway to one lucky SS.com reader... and you might just recognize them... they are the "Corporate Zombie" and "Jonathan" aka the '
I like turtles kid!'! Corporate Zombie has had a long hard day at the office and our good friend CZ here is kicking back digging through YouTube for a few laughs.... while remaining on the clock of course (he is on a computer after all)! Jonathan is Portland Oregon's most famous zombie, and he sure does like turtles.... and the sticky sweet taste of human meat!! So do you wanna add these guys to your collection, keep reading...

Ashley Wood has recently sent out his latest teaser image in what might be my favorite piece so far this year. "Nabler" , as shown above is a whimsical bothead that has shown itself in many of Ash's artwork and was one of the main characters in this years Miss and Mrs. comic. Not much else is known at this time but the scale (1:6) the eye seems articulated similar to Ankou and that it looks to come in at least two colors. But we can't wait to see this in it's entirety. More details as soon as we get them.
