I drew these just for fun. It started as a personal logo exercise and ended up being a series of cartoony self portraits where I reminded myself that there's an endless variety to the ways we can approach an assignment or character design.

(There's more than one way to skin a fat, bald, zombified illustrator with a penchant for the macabre. :P)

Thanks, fellas!

I'm not sure they'd work on a shirt. A bit redundant to my earlier zombie head offering, maybe.

I ended up working on a small roundtable animation for the guy. Looking to do more animation and maybe make a 3D model out of him.

I haven't submitted any photos. I guess I don't want free money.

All about me

Ray Frenden is a self-taught illustrator with a penchant for monsters and the macabre.

Drawing from a childhood weaned on horror comics, detective novels, trashy films, and retro sci-fi, his brush and ink work hearkens to an older era.

That juxtaposition of old sensibilities for crafting line and a footing in current color and design trends make Ray’s work unique.
