Hello there, @thebyron here, drawing zombies everyday!

I don't do a lot of article writing but maybe that's going to slowly change. I've been an artist for so long I can't remember how to do much else, which has led to some stagnation in my creative development lately, so maybe writing is what I should start to do.

DRiPz of the DEAD

When I started to create content for the DRiPHaus platform , I didn't quite know what to do or how to begin. I was in the very beginnings of a transitional period and my thoughts were severely interrupted by outside influences.I was also heavily doubting myself. Self doubt is a real pain in the ass and I've been dealing with it for longer than I care to admit. Anyways, I decided the best thing to do would be to make DRiPz - zombie DRiP logos.

These are the first three DRiPz of the DEAD and I started the naming system like Alpha, Beta ... it was just a silly thing to do. Foursa Phive ... as I created more and more DRiPz, it got harder to name them like that.
They are a nice fun to draw distraction. Minting them on DRiP haus was a way to share them with the world and not worry if people would buy them.

The early DRiPz had a hand drawn background that they were photoshopped on to. Later on though, the background doesn't appear as often and from time to time the detail is lacking.
But that's the point of the DRiPz. Each one different and each one reflecting some moments of my life. Hard to describe it properly tbh.

After a while I did a complete DRiPz painting. 4"x6" mixed media on paper. My go to size for over a decade. You'll notice that the DRiPz are all without arms. I thought it made them look more quirky and weird, but after a while I had requests for DRiPz with arms. So a new trend began that also included some comic book references.

What started as a silly little idea has now bloomed into over 100 DRiPz of the DEAD on DRiPHaus. Funny thing consistency. Most of them are commons and you can't even get them all on secondary. I'm going to go back to all the old DRiPz drawing snd start painting them and making those available in the coming weeks. Art that keeps on arting.

So that's my intro to building a Horde on DRiP. Because I am an all the time artist, I didn't just do DRiPz on DRiP Haus. I have a lot of different artworks on that platform. Art you can not find anywhere else. Some experiment animations as well as some more personal/mental paintings and drawings. I like DRiP with its ease of use, low cost, and captive audience ;)

Thanks for reading. If you have any suggestions or ideas for articles, please let me know. If you want to see something drawn, please let me know that too. Have a great rest of your day.
