Random Zombie Art

Being a huge fan of the comics and then later the show, iZombie is recreated here with Gwen (not Liv) chowing down on some brains. Just as Lady-I-Hellsing mentioned in her description, Gwen and Liv are totally different characters but we can appreciate their common love for brains!

MMM brains

Pilot Down by DugStanat is an undead fighter pilot made from ceramic. I'd like to see a movie about zombie pilots made from claymation or something. 

Zombie Mustache by Reitanna-Seishin is quirky and creepy looking. Not sure how a mustache becomes a zombie but this works. 

These brooches aren't the kinds your Grandmothers wore. These plushies can spice up a bag, look charming on a collar, or just be cute on anything. Thanks to mad-hatter-71 for creating such cool things. 

Realistic Zombie Cupcakes for your Halloween Treats

MMMM tasty!!! 
These morbidly, delectable cupcakes are a DIY treat from  Instructable user SemadarG. Using fondant for the teeth, gums and flesh, the realism comes to life more with some food coloring and an arrangement of extracts. I think I'd be more successful just slicing off my own face than trying to attempt this. Really looks disturbingly real. 

Happy Thanksgiving

Here in the White North we have a little holiday today. Now I'm stuck with my cone head dog after his neutering and my fiancé playing games but I hope the rest have enjoyed a weekend full of laughs, family, and turkey.

Zombied cups

Although no longer available from what I can find and from a failed Kickstarter that I missed out on, these Zombied beer mugs and cups each bring a unique twist on brain freeze. The cups can even be used as a candle holder for the brain candle.

Drip on this

 If zombies drank, these Brain Coasters would be a must for their brain smoothies or the Zombie Cocktail.
Each coaster shows a slice of brain and stacking them gives a full brain shape. 
Get yours for $20.

Burying the Ex trailer

This is the year for some funny zombie movies. Cooties is just too far away so to hold us over we have Burying the Ex featuring Anton Yelchin, the cutie from Star Trek, Ashley Greene (Twilight which I hate to admit that I have seen), and Alexandra Daddario which has been in Percy Jackson series.
Kind of like the 1993 My Boyfriend's Back but sex role reversal with a twist, guy's girlfriend dies after he regrets them moving in together. Relieved after she is gone but before he managed to break it off, she back as a zombie. Psycho ex-girlfriends are bad but a undead one is just plain fucking crazy. 

Thank you, Mario! Your quest is over.

 Kody Koala enjoys making weird video game sculptures and figurines. Here we get to see Mario thanked graciously for all his hard work saving Princess Peach by Zombie Peach consuming his brains on top of a dead mushroom and some bones. Probably Luigi. Bishes be cray.

See more pictures of his work here.

iZombie recap: Liv and Let Clive

The Crime:

John Doe aka Sammy Wong, with missing fingers and molars and appears to be from a gang, is from Clive's days in vice squad. Clive becomes real upset and adamant about Liv staying out of helping on this case. The vision she has Clive looking a little like a dirty cop. Turns out Clive was suspended and this has Liv even more freaked. Clive comes to see Liv and lets her know Wong was in witness protection. Sammy had testified against AJ's father in a case which is why Sammy may have been beaten when he came back for a funeral. Ray, who was one of the gang members and a "snitch", turns out to be Clive's old cop buddy. Ray is safe and AJ is arrested for Sammy's murder after he attacks Liv in her home.

Zowers (Zombie Powers):

• Anxious and fearful aka paranoia
• Kung Fu

Major news: We get to see Major SHIRTLESS!! Seems like he can't get a great roommate and Liv feels bad since she was to be helping out....buuuuut....in walks a chick in Major's shirt. Oops. Major's new gf, Corin,  and ex get the awkward introduction. Liv gets super jelly and sets up Major and Ravi to meet about being roommates without them knowing. And they BOND! And become flatmates.

Eddie and Jerome now missing..We know who took them Major.

Meanwhile...:

Blaine and Jackie are shacking up. Guess she gives him money, he gives her brains. Sex: Bonus. Also, getting some aesthetician work done is helping Blaine look a little less freaky. And it seems Blaine has made some minions to go and fetch more brains. And the dudes are super brainless in more than one way. They appear to be getting annoyed with being Blaine's work and try to take Blaine's clients/victims for themselves. Blaine finds out and pops them.

We get to see Li'v bro, Evan, again! Seems he is staying at Liv's for awhile and he likes going through Peyton's things.

Nourishment:

Kale and brain smoothie

Rice and Sriracha (Asian meal to go with Asian brain)

Brazed cerebellum ala granola??

Medulla oblongata in a fradiago sauce (These names are killing me)

Brainy lines

• "Sadly our latest John Doe here won't be handling much of anything"  *insert missing fingers*

• Liv muttering slut after mocking Corin for helping Major pay the rent.
  

• Tag saying: Martial Arts and Craft

Thoughts

• Liv being like totally like a valley, "slutty" girl while like talking in the video store was like so hilarious.

• Blaine has a freezer full of frozen zombies. Lovely.

iZombie recap: The Exterminator

The Crime:
There is some Wally Walker case where a guy was killed in the park and someone has been arrested. What appears to be unrelated is some dead guy is killed in a hit and run. Turns out the brain Liv eats is the hitman, Marvin Webster, that killed Walker and now both cases become related. So who killed Webster after he popped Walker? Don Watts, Walkers Angel Investor and who offered the reward, got Webster to kill Walker in order to get a fortune in I'm guessing, insurance or something, then killed Webster since Webster was wanting more money. What a scum bag. 


Zowers (Zombie Powers):

• Hitman numbness
• no empathy
• Gun knowledge
• Unusual facts

Major news: Liv has been feeling bad about about the whole "jumping" majors bones last episode. Major has moved on and on social media a make out sesh with his new GF appears online and Liv sees it. Heartbreaking. 
Major comes in with a teen to get help from Liv's connections to the police to find the teen's missing friend. AWE! Major helps troubled teens! Good man. 

Meanwhile...:
Kids find a "hobo" which ends up being a zombie. Liv and Ravi check it out. Turns out it's an old co-worker of Liv's, Marcie, and she totally does not make it through the test run Ravi tries on her. With Liv's hitman numbness, she ends up killing Marcie in order to save Ravi when he falls in.
Blaine shows up and Liv is still sketched out by him. Should be. Drug dealing in a way. 
Liv and her friend Peyton cross paths over the same case and it makes it a little difficult at one point and it totally screws Peyton's case over. Since Liv ate those brains, she totally doesn't care and this brings out a fight between the ladies.  All forgiven when the catch the right man for the death of Wally Walker. 
Scary dude in the skate park that may have a connection to the missing teens turns out to be BLAINE! What is that guy up to?

Nourishment: Wheat crackers with siracha with brains

Brainy lines

• "A teenager posted a picture on his Facebook claims it's a zombie" - Ravi " Is it me?" - Liv
• "Are you cool with me naming our trivia team Piggy and the Brain?" - Liv
• "You didn't say you were marrying Siri." after Liv rambles about some random fact. 

Thoughts

• There are other zombies out there. How many ?!
• Can they be fixed even though Ravi tried? Will he ever be able to help Liv?
• LOL trivia Tuesday.
• Loved Liv's element shirt that read O Mg ! See below.
• Poor Liv having to deal with her past and her killing Marcie and on top of that Major moving on. Glad to see zombies have emotions. 

iZombie recap: Brother, Can You Spare A Brain?

So lets dive right in shall we?

The Crime:
A painter, Javier, is found with a paint brush sticking out of his eye. Det. Babineaux (let's call him Det. Babi since he is new to the job) dives right in to asking Liv about her physic abilities. She must be regretting that lie but it seems to work for her the entire show so far. No questions asked. Live hasn't had time yet to eat the brains until she gets to the morgue. There she has a taste and later she has a trigger of seeing a beautiful lady clearly getting it on in an affair with Javier. Liv starts getting all '50 Shades of Phsyic' on Babi with her new artistic view and passion for beauty. 

Babi and Live visit Lola, J's wife and the actress from Devious Maids, where we get to see Liv mesmerized by a second wife. YUP! Monogamy not happening here. To make things more complicated, Javier's paint dealer Artie Fiss loves Lola and becomes a prime suspect. Well we were deceived. He was an artifice if I shall say and point that out. (So many play on words you guys!)Artie was just covering for Lola who actually was angry for Javier knocking up Artie's daughter and they were going to have a kid, something Lola thought he didn't want. 
Turns out Det. Babi is right....always the wife.

Zowers (Zombie Powers): 

• Painting
• new love for Jazz
• drawing 
• artistic vision
• understands Spanish

Major News: We get to see more of the old flame. A major hottie. Major comes to return some items and finds Liv painting and listening to music she hated before. Major seems kinda into and Liv is exploding with a new found appreciation in everything. 
Episode ends with Liv seeing Major and getting MAJORLY turned down since she has had nothing to do with him the last 7 months. Gurl you can't be trippin' like that!

Meanwhile...:

Blaine to Liv "Where'd you go?"

New character!!! Guys pay attention to Rob Thomas and his dang puns and play on words....Blaine DeBeers.     Read it again.  
Blaine was a partier and druggie and it shows in Blaine's talking. Sounds like a stoner when he and Ravi were talking and Liv had a vision. 
Although Liv is unsure of Blaine they exchange their zombie knowledge and background. Blaine used to rob graves. I made a connection to the comics. Blaine was going after already dead people like Liv (Gwen) did in the comics. On purpose? Who knows with Mr.Thomas. 
Blaine calls his zombie hulking out "raging out". I giggled. Euphemism came to my sick ol' brain. Full on zombie mode sounds better Blaine. 
Sounds like our Zs miss food. Who knew brains were gross?
We get to see a bit of Blaine's life and turns out he has a one night stand and she becomes a Z. Seems like he is making money off of some rich lady. Guess the drive for cash doesn't die with you. 
Blaine what are you up to. 

Sidenote: Blaine, played by David Anders, has also been Dr. Frankenstein and a founding family in the land of Vampires. Likes the goth lit :).

Nourishment: hot pocket and then straight up brains

Brainy lines:

• "Boss thought you were dead" "They were half right".  - Blaine to his buddy.
• First rule of brain club
• "Albino tease" - said to Liv from the very rapey ex-bf of Javier's other wife.
• "..so maybe its possible for parts of me to spring to life even now that I'm dead." - Liv

Thoughts:

• Nightmares. Zombies have dreams? I guess they have visions, don't really enjoy the taste or consistency of brains, gain other "powers"...so dreams shouldn't be a shock
• Dect. Little too eager to use Liv's skills
• They look so goth! I'm just looking for the chipped black nail polish next.
• Can these Zs have sex? Did Blaine just eat the lady....wait....um..I can't even back my way out of that one. 

Until next week zombaes!

Tees from Threadless

 Every 90's child wanted something Lisa Frank. I think I only got to live vicariously through that of my friends who didn't shop locally at the only variety store in town. Plus I cared about the earth and used items from the year before......PFFT no I just had no choice. But here you do! This Lisa Frank inspired "RAINBOW APOCALYPSE" shirt from Threadless is a choice between are you cool or are you not? It has a zombie being a badass motherfucker riding a zombie unicorn dolphin. Your choice.
