If the name Billy Tackett doesn't sound familiar, his paintings will certainly look familiar. He is most-known for his Zombie Sam painting but has illustrated book, magazine, and album covers. You can find Billy's images on shirts and look for them in an upcoming book. Most exciting for those reading (well, okay... me) is Billy applied his signature style and vision to bring us his interpretation of the Zombies & Toys logo! 
So now you must be asking yourself, "How can I appreciate this magnificent work at home while supporting my favorite zombie news blog?" I'll tell you! Zombies & Toys is bringing you the first in an upcoming run of 'artist series' button sets. Our first guinea pig ...er ...talented artist friend is Billy Tackett.
The buttons are limited to a run of 100 sets. In addition to the ZT logo, these 1" round buttons also have Zombie Sam, Fannie the Flesh Eater, Vacation Zombie, and feature Billy's bio on the back. These were unveiled at Steel City Con and the remainder are available for $4.99 in the Zombie Toy Store. The first to order will also receive some bonus swag featuring Billy's painting.
billy's ZT design is spankin'! Please tell me you'll be doing more with it in the future!
