Before I was a photographer I had a strange artistic hobby of drawing portraits of zombies. This was in the early 90s when I was between eleven and fourteen years od age, and was sparked after catching the Tom Savini remake of Night of the Living Dead on Cinemax late one night.
I made a bunch of these pencil and paper portraits between 1991 and 1994, but I've only been able to track down the whereabouts of one them, which I am going to share here. This particular zombie drawing of mine dates to '93 or '94.
I was sort of a weird child. I won't deny it. Although, sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had spent the past fifteen years perfecting the art of the zombie portrait, instead of switching to photography. Could I have become a master of the zombie portrait? Could I have used that body of work to ride the current wave of obsession of all things zombies to fame and fortune?

Bad perspective: you're looking at it all wrong. I have one -- one! -- word that will change everything for you, son.
Zombography.
