Zombies. Super Heroes, Hip Hop Stormtroopers... and Bananas ( yes, bananas)!



Pashur's body painted zombie creation on actress, Jennifer Rice


I was hired by a really cool "zombie survival" company called Z-booth to paint people as zombies at Long Beach Comic Con. The convention was full of creative cosplayers, zombie lovers and comic fans. It had everything from pint size Edward Scissorhands characters to break dancing hip-hop stormtroopers! Some of the more entertaining zombies were the people that came dressed as a character and then let me zombie them up. That's how we got Zombie Captain America and Zombie Amy Winehouse. Then there was the Banana....a guy dressed as a banana. Not quite sure what that was about but it was pretty funny!! I zombied up my girlfriend who proceeded to scare people (usually into joining the hordes of undead and becoming zombies themselves). Some other fun requests included sugar skulls and a few black eyes. The convention was a blast, but then again, zombies always are!
