Wizard World Chicago - THIS WEEKEND !!

Matt Boiselle

           Convention junkies in the Chicago area this weekend (August 8th-11th) listen up: if you want  incredible entertainment & celebrity sightings galore, then drag your tails on down to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center for WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO, and prepare to have your auditory & visual senses overloaded !

      In addition to the MULTITUDE of celebrity autograph opportunities, product displays and all other types of comic, TV, movie & video game goodness, we here at Zombies & Toys will be unearthing our distinguished corpse-in-charge: Jason to stand guard at our tomb and giveaway some killer Z&T swag but ONLY if you can locate him (don't tell anyone.....but he will be sporting a black backpack w/ a pink Z&T logo...but you didn't hear that from me.) - he will be in constant contact with our Facebook & Twitter pages, hanging out at different booths, and if you are luck enough to be clad in a zombie-themed shirt or going the extra mile in some zombie cosplay attire.....well then, there might be an extra surprise in it for you (Z.O.M.B.I.E. figures ?) - but the trick is, to find him...and he can be rather elusive...but not impossible to find. He will be stomping around the Convention Center on both Friday & Saturday so keep your FB eyes and Twitter fingers at the ready to score some great freebies, and maybe even rope Jason in for a pic to be posted on our site !

Zombies & Toys Presents: Billy Tackett

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.
