Hi guys, Rob Sacchetto here. I just thought that I'd drop you a line and let you know a little bit about my life as a zombie artist. In 2006 I started an online service in which I hand paint people as the living dead, called Zombie Portraits. People simply send me a J-peg of themselves or a loved one and I illustrate them as zombies using traditional means with no computer photo-shopping involved. The customer receives a high res J-peg and has the original mailed to them. So far I have zombified over 2000 people all over the world! Feeling that I wasn't drawing enough zombies, I started Zombie Daily, a blog where I post a new original zombie drawing or painting every day! This site was started in 2008 and so far there are over 900 posts and counting as I still update with new content on a daily basis. The formation of Zombie Daily led the publishing company Ulysses press to offer me two book deals, one for, "The Zombie Handbook:How to Identify the Living Dead and Survive the Coming Zombie Apocalypse", and my next book, "Zombiewood:The Celebrity Dead Exposed". My Zombie Portrait service also caught the attention of noted zombie author Jonathan Maberry, which led him to include me as a named character in his book "Rot and Ruin". I also created the chase card illustrations for that book and his follow-up "Dust and Decay". I'm featured in the documentary "Zombiemania" and provided the morphing zombie portrait drawings for myself and the other noted zombie experts who were interviewed, including George Romero, Tom Savini, Max Brooks and Greg Nicotero. My zombie art has been licensed for use on everything from puzzles to skateboard decks and many other products. I'm just doing my part in keeping our love of the living dead alive. Please feel free to peruse my zombiedaily.com and zombiepotraits.com sites, and thank you so much for your time and consideration.
