It is no secret that I find Jeff Freels to be one of the best artists to come out of the rolegaming community. He could and should go farther than our little niche community, as his work can be - at the same time - funny, exciting, and downright creepy!
Case in point: Stock Art Collection 2: Zombies. I'm not fond of zombies, at least since they ceased to be zombies (see original sources in Africa and Haiti, and pre-Romero zombie movies) and took on the characteristics of ghouls. So they're flesh-eaters, and fairly boring plot devices now.
Despite my antipathy towards the modern zombie, I'm absolutely in love with Jeff's versions here. They are scary, some of them are almost funny, and any of them could be used in a professional publication. Jeff gives such rights to any purchaser, as long as they meet the minimal requirements of crediting, etc. (Read the text when you buy it.)
Frankly, I've seen no better art for gaming or other publication. I shall certainly use some of Jeff's work in the future, and I only wish he could do a LOT more of it!
Imagine, for instance, a Jeff Freels Lord of the Rings portfolio. Mmmmmmmmm!
