I stumbled upon this project while searching for zombies on Kickstarter and the idea really seems fun.

The artist wants to make a zombie portrait book themed as a school yearbook. The portraits are all going to come from backers of the Kickstarter project and depending on each backer's level of support they can have different sized and colored portraits and choose to be either a zombie or zombie hunter.

I wanted to get the word out because I just backed this project and I want my mug zombified so come on, Dakka join the Dead Class of 2012!

Here are some examples of the artist's style.




Example of a supporter's original image:

And some info about the artist:
Rick Hershey is the Owner and Operator of Empty Room Studios, Empty Room Studios Publishing, and the creator of Steampunk Musha.

The project is just over 1/4 of the way towards the goal with 24 days left!

So basically, I pm you a picture of me including my name..
and you draw it into a zombie?

I am not the artist, I am just a supporter of the artist's kickstarter project.

But yes, essentially that is the idea you send in a picture of yourself and it becomes a zombie. Depending on the level of support you give to the project you will either receive a digital PDF copy of the book or an actual physical copy. As your pledge level increases so does the size of your picture within the book and other options become available as well (color, being a zombie hunter, ect.).

19 days left and the project is at 34% funding! Getting closer but there is still quite a way to go.
