Art of Carolyn Curtis

Bearman Cartoons Zombie by Carolyn Curtis

You meet some talented people hanging out on the web and for me Google Plus.  I have the fortune of befriending a great artist/caricaturist Carolyn Curtis who not only has her own page but also the G+ page Wenchkin where she highlights her work.    Carolyn’s art is heavily influenced by dia de los muertos.  Dia de los muertos is better known in America as The Day of the Dead celebrated in Mexico.  So obviously the caricatures and her artwork tend to look like skulls.

I of course zombified the one she did of me but here is the original:

bearman day of the dead

Anyone care to color it in as well?  Send me your work.

Carolyn also collaborates with her boyfriend Scott Krichau who is also an amazing artist/sculptor.   He takes old tanks and sculpts them into amazing pieces of art.  Check out his Tank-O-Lanterns here and below is an amazing collaboration Scott and Carolyn worked on together.

    Love these! I shared some of the tanks earlier this week! I have to go check her out though…I love the original. My family has a sort of thing for DDLM. Your zombification is cool!

    Way cool and what an honor. The Internet is a wonderful place to hook up with like minded people and become lifelong friends. I’ve sure met a lot of bloggers.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    So if your hair goes black your skin turns green?
    I like the design on the tank. That must be difficult to cut flowers on a tank.

      If you click on either of their named links it takes you to their G+ page where you can see a bunch more animated as gifs.

    That’s a great zombified Bearman. I can just imagine you chasing me through the woods.

    And the revolving tank looks fantastic! There’s definitely a lotta talent in this world. I’m glad people are sharing their skills with the rest of us.

    Great artwork all around. Now we know what you will look like when you are dead. (I don’t even want to think about it.)

        Don’t worry…in my zombie state I will be back to haunt you.

    Good grief!!! She really hit you hard with the ugly stick!!! Looks like Mark Stokes has a bit of competition now. Zombie Boy versus Zombie Bearman

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am sure there are some more walking dead bears in the works somewhere in the world.

    Those tank o lanterns are really really cool, and when checking out the site he has them priced really well.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      by really well you mean underpriced then..haha

    Nice gif image 🙂 Congrats.

    These are both wickedly exciting,
    of course I am a tad biased being that
    Skulls and Zombies are to my liking
    but they do look great on your Space
    also Bearman and what a fine gesture
    to add them here for everyone to see
    and enjoy 🙂

    Have a pleasantly exciting weekend 🙂

      Thanks. Not as much into the zombie fanation as some but I enjoy some good zombie art.

    Looks like you’re set for Halloween. It must be hard to resist the temptation to poke yourself in the brain, though.
