Zombie Snowman Number #1 is Done
Hooray! Now I can get back to feeling my index fingers.
Sorry about the pictures being dark; days are very short up here at this time of year and I keep forgetting it gets dark in this neighborhood (due to houses and trees to the West) at about 3:30. Ooops. I’ll snag some daytime shots and maybe a video tomorrow.
Now here you go, the proof that Zombie Snowmen can and do exist! (Well, this one, anyway. Hopefully until spring. Maybe more now that I’ve got the process down.)
Natural light shot. Let’s see how the neighbors appreciate Zombies in Snow form, huh?
More natural light.
The problem with a flash plus snow and corn syrup is it sometimes looks like he’s a ‘christmas ornament’ as the Art Director put it.
Sometimes though it comes out just right though.
These are to show I didn’t ‘cheat’, as the Art Director put it, and only do the side facing the road. I hope her meticulous attention to detail is as stringent about feeding me through a straw if my fingers fall off from the cold.
Aww. Isn’t that an adorable Zombie Snowman? How could anyone hate this lovable face?
As is usual, the full set of pictures is up on flickr (here this time), and we’ll have more Zombie news and analysis that doesn’t pertain to snow shortly, I promise.
Update: Got those daytime shots I promised.
Awwww. It’s all in the eyes.
The eyes express a hopeful yet guarded optimism, I think, the desire for co-existence and friendship in the larger snow-manity, if you will.
