Zombies

 Bring out the dead. From Bob Marley to Ronald Reagan, the dead live again with the zombie
inspired drawings of comic book artist Frederik Peeters.  Drawing
from a cast of cadavers, Frederik examines how the dead icons would
look like if they came out of their graves. Bob might have shot the sheriff but if the sheriff saw him
from the dead, he would shoot him and his entourage of corpses.

Peeters is the author and illustrator of the autobiographical graphic novel Blue Pills,
but here he turns his artistic talents to the macabre. His portraits
reference the circumstances of his subjects’ death, such as John
Lennon’s assassination and Bela Lugosi being buried in a Dracula
costume. The results are sometimes in questionable taste, but offer a
different view of figures usually remembered from iconic photographs
and films.
