"You carelessly left him sitting on top of your microwave to mold. Over along period of time he began to absorb the low levels of radiation, now he is back to seek his revenge on you and your kitchen!"

He has broken out and is attacking everything in site! The jar of Smuckers on your counter has had it, as he claims it's sweet jelly brains for his own and proudly displays them in his moldy hand!

What were the first creations you made?
"Action figures of my friends. My first detailed creation was an action figure of my best friend Vanessa called the "Napkin Ninja."

Which do you prefer, toast or robots?
"Hmm, that's actually really tough to answer. They are both items that should really not have personalities due to the havoc they could wreak upon the earth... I think that's why I like making them so much! It's definitely a tie."

How did you first get the idea to create zombie toast?
"A friend of mine has toast every morning for breakfast. Wanting to try something different one day, she put a piece of dark rye bread in her toaster. When it came out, the 1st thing that came to mind is that it looked like zombified toast. After that, whenever she made toast I'd ask her if she was making "Zombie Toast". A few weeks later I made my first zombie toast figure and gave it to her as a birthday gift. He still sits in her kitchen to this day."


Most influential zombie moment?
"Dead Alive! Not much beats killing zombies with a lawnmower!"

Favorite zombie book, movie, game?
"Zombie Book: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
Movie: Shaun of the dead (I love comedy and I love zombies)
Game: I really liked the Resident Evil games up until the rail shooter..."


If you were bitten, would you want shot or left to change?
"I would change but then I would want to be shot just so I can see what it feels like."

If we were making a toy of you, would you be a zombie or survivor and what accessories would you come with?
"I would be a zombie and my accessories would include a turkey baster, licorice intestines and a clown with no head."

Zombie Toast Vinyl Update!

Sorry guys no Zombie Toast vinyl any time soon ): All the companies I've contact about turning my guy into a vinyl figure are way more expensive than I can afford right now or anytime in the foreseen near future. I've received a lot of emails over the last few months from people inquiring about or requesting a vinyl, but for right now it's a no go. I'm still working on the mold making process to produce a few resin Zombie Toast figures but it's a very slow trial and error process. I haven't stopped looking into companies, but have not been successful yet in finding one that will do the small run I am looking for (Most companies I have talked to will only do runs as small as 3000-5000 pieces because of the size.) I will keep you guys posted as more develops!

Updates!

Wow so I haven't updated in awhile. I'll just give a brief run down ( or my idea of brief) of whats been up. December 15th the 1st batch Zombie Toast figures sold out. I am currently taking pre-orders for batch #2 in my shop located here now. Batch 2 will only consist of about 10 figures online. After these 10 figures are gone I will not be taking pre-orders for batch 3 until March. Although a new batch won't be available until march I will have a limited # available at upcoming shows.

December 19th I had the pleasure of taking part in the "Last Minute Market" @ the Screw Factory in Lakewood, Ohio. It was a great show. So many visitors and a great mix of eclectic artists. I had many people do all of their X-mas shopping at my booth. I wish I could have gotten around and done some shopping during the show myself, but I had no one to man my booth. My boyfriend who usually holds down the fort for me didn't come to the show. He stayed home to take care of our new dog. A rescue named Butters (more about him later). I got to meet a lot of great people and have to give it up to Cleveland Handmade and I Made It Market for putting on such an awesome show. Also everyone should check out "Autumn's Antics". She is an amazing artist and a sweet girl. I she was my neighbor during the show and I had so much fun talking with her. She makes amazing jewelry and ornaments. Over all GREAT show!

I have a couple new projects I'm working on that should materialize here in the next few days. New robots (of course), Zombie Toast micro plush, a blind box figure and dog toys that aren't for dogs????

Stay tuned!
