‘Twas the Night Before Krampus…

Here is the first image in my Zombie Christmas theme, and the 19th in my self portrait zombie series. I call this one ‘Twas the Night Before Krampus… where we have a very festive zombie family decorating the tree and enjoying delightful holiday classics. It was harder than I thought to collect all the Christmas props for this shot in the middle of May! Lucky enough I had taken my neighbors Christmas tree out of the trash pile last January, drug it home, and waited for the pine to turn brown! Other images in my zombie series are Picnic, Make a Wish, Theatre Popcorn, Home Cookin’, Take Time To Smell The Roses, Alone Time, Pancake Breakfast, Time for Tea, House of Horror Hair, House of Horror Hair 2, Scared of the Dark, The Sleepover, Three Little Monkeys, Fun in the Sun, Luau Party, It’s a Girl!, It’s a Girl! The Cake, and Chick Flick.

Self Portrait: Home Cookin’

I created another self portrait for my zombie series called Home Cookin’. I had a lot of fun making this one, especially being able to use some of my Craigslist and Flea Market prop finds that I love so much! Nothing like getting all four pots and pans for $1!  The other images in this series so far are Take Time To Smell The Roses, Alone Time, Pancake Breakfast, Time for Tea, and Scared of the Dark.
