His covers and work on the first few issues set an amazing tone for the story that has unfolded since.

Nobody draws the ol’ shamblers like Tony does.

I’m very proud to be carrying some work of Kimberly Hart (aka Kookie), an amazingly talented sculptor from Goderich, Ontario. Her scultures range from steampunk to cutesy, but in all cases the form and finish is simply wonderful. You have to come see them in person, pictures barely do them justice.  Pieces range from 2″ pendants to 12″ sculptures.

To read more about the artist, check out her site.

I’m now carrying a selection of T-Shirts by London artist Diana Tamblyn. Diana is a great supporter and promoter of local art and artists and of comic artists in particular. Her shirts are great – If you’ve seen them around town and wondered where to get them, now you know!

I also had a visit by local artist Trevor Ross last weekend. He had some amazing little gory figures to show me – the “Kempers”. These resin/plaster models are hand-cast and hand-painted by Trevor. Each one is unique,with details like claws, spines and even staples to make them stand out. The cute little horrors stand about 4″ tall. Come in and check them out!

Finally, I wanted to showcase a remarkable transformation wrought on one of my Zombie figurines by another talented artist, Mike. Mike saw the potential in the zombie cheerleader and decided she would make a great Victorian lady. Cool transformation! Although usually people turn from prim and proper into zombies,and not the other way around…
