Zombies & Penguins

Longtime Cabinet readers may remember a post way back in 2009 about artist Greg Stones, and his paintings of penguins and zombies and monsters and such. I love them.

Well, he now has two books, both available on his site and (bonus!) has YouTube clips previewing them.

The first is Goodbye, Penguin, which is a Ten Little Indians style story in which a group of fifteen penguins go for a walk, and about their various (mostly tragic) fates. I have watched this an embarrassing number of times. The one who is flattened by a snow man and the one who was abducted (which you can see at above) are my favorites. Watch it below:



His second book, is the aptly titled Zombies Hate Stuff, which is all about stuff zombies hate. Some of these things include hippies, cavemen, war reenactors and sharing.



Both of his books (and the rest of his art and prints) can be purchased here. Apropos of nothing in particular, I would like to point out that my birthday is one scant month away. In case you happened to be wondering.

The Penguin Pool Murder

I mentioned The Penguin Pool Murder briefly in my Mae Clarke post the other day and now, after seeing the trailer, I want to see it more than ever! I have a real fondness for the murder mystery movies of the thirties, and it's a genre I would love to see revived.

Dangerous!

This video lulled me into a zen-like state of calm heretofore completely unknown to me. I'm a person who always found it odd that describing oneself as "laid back" was considered a positive trait. I would just assume that would make you late to things, causing others stress and annoyance while you were busy being all laid back. But, I digress.



I'm fighting it ...but ..I'm. ..slipping... into...a... state...of...compliance ...must... eat...brains...

Sock Monkeys, Monsters and Penguins!

A facebook friend posted Greg Stones's website and I was pretty instantly smitten. He paints watercolors of Monsters, Sock Monkeys, Penguins and Flashers. It really doesn't get any better than this. Oh, and in totally unrelated news, 59 more shopping days until Christmas. Helpful links provided below.



Penguins, Sock Monkey, Death.

Hats, Rose, Zombie

Zombie, Penguin, Boobs


Five Penguins, One Monster

For the economical, he also has some prints available. I thought this one was particularly appealing:

Fallen Robot

Sadly, his print, "Zombies Hate Hippies" is temporarily sold out. But his book, "Goodbye, Penguins" is happily still available! For only $20! Available: here. You know. Just in case you were thinking of purchasing one as a present for a friend who likes monsters and penguins. But, like, no pressure. Did I mention only 59 shopping days until Christmas? I did? Oops, sorry. Oh, Greg Stones accepts PayPal. In case you're interested (monsters and penguins!).
