Brief

of horror movies was a must.

flyers, festival websites, badges and T-shirts (pictured

Design
notes : 1. Trasharama's BlondBie 'Zombie
Girl' character was not my creation
(pre-existing
promotional feature), Substantial
additions and alterations (fleshing
out the character, so to speak)
have been applied giving 'her' more
depth (as
deep as a toxic-green brain eater
can be). Plus the enormous breasts that the original character exhibited prevented posters from being displayed at some establishments ( ergo the clapper-board being firmly clenched rather than rotting zombie titties ) Note: BlondBie 'Zombie
Girl has now evolved into 2nd assistant Camera Ghoul 2. When
I was first introduced to the character
I just assumed she was a cheerleader
(prob. the
blonde pigtails), hence
the outfit in the second design.
I like her FuckMe boots (repetitive to draw, worth it in the end). To allow for
text to image constraints a half
length version was designed as well (see
linked page here).
Soundtrack
