Event: The 5K Zombie Run
Run For Your Lives is a zombie-themed 5k/obstacle course starting in Baltimore on October 22nd that will allow participants to pit themselves against a zombie horde as they try to complete the course without “dying”, which sounds exactly like the beginning of a zombie movie where the fake zombies somehow turn into real zombies and actually try to eat the unknowing participants. Here’s how the race will work:
BASIC SURVIVALWHAT YOU’RE UP AGAINST
- Before the race, you will be given a flag belt, just like the overly intimidating game of flag football. These flags represent your health.
- The zombies want to take your flags and maybe eat your brains.
- If you lose all your health flags, you die. And the zombies win.
- Health bonuses will be hidden throughout the course. If you find one and carry it to the finish, it will save your life.
- Throughout the 5K obstacle race, there will be 12 man-made and natural obstacles for you to complete. Runners may choose NOT to complete an obstacle, BUT any runner who skips an obstacle will not be eligible for prizes.
- There will be zombies. Their job is to chase you and eat you — but mainly go after your health, in the form of your flag belt. Avoid the zombies to keep your health flags.
- Use speed, strategy and your intact brains to make it to the FINISH LINE with at least ONE FLAG INTACT. If you finish with zero health flags, your time will be recorded, but you will not be eligible for awards.

You're not scared of zombies. You've seen them a million times. Slow zombies. Fast zombies. Zombies are played out. OR SO YOU THOUGHT. Because now, the ultimate zombie horror has been created -- zombie nerds. Not only do they want to eat your brains, but they're going to bitch about how unauthentic their zombie-ness is while they do it.

Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story
After humanity quells an undead uprising, the last two remaining zombies pair up in search of sanctuary. Instead, they find love.
It’s refreshing to see a production take the prospect of a zombie musical seriously. It's production value is higher than you might expect. A cut above the last Bruce Campbell film I saw, in fact, but it's still hilariously over-the-top.

FUN FACT: Did you know that if Saint Valentine was alive today he’d be a ZOMBIE!? True!
I’m a romantic. I’m sure that comes as no surprise based on my body of classically inspired romantic art-styled works. And yet I feel it necessary to confess to you all, as the greatest of all Hallmark holidays approaches - so that you may all be encouraged to stand up and confess your unhealthy infatuation with those who you stalk from afar.
So, with that said – in honor of the 1,515th Valentine’s Day, and cheap bastards everywhere, I present to you a gift from mine own hands – NAY! From my hearty place! … use it wisely!

Jim Lee, the 46-year-old DC Comics co-publisher, is arguably the single most popular comic-book artist of the last two decades years. In this interview with the L.A. Times walks us through drawing a superhero face. Specifically, what you should and shouldn't do and why going for a realistic look is wrong.
Work of Art: Zombie Playground
Alright, I know that this painting has been floating around the web for years now, but I still love it. If I had kids, this would be hanging in their nursery. Of course, if I had kids, they'd need a psychiatric intervention by the time they reached adolescence. Download it at CoolVibe. (It makes an awesome desktop.) Alternatively, you can buy a print of Zombie Playground.
Here's the scene recreated in legos.

I seriously need a few of these to round out my apocalypse diarahma. I wish they sold them in stores.
