Owner's Description
Walking Dead Hero Initiative 100 Project - Menton Matthews III artist
Menton Matthews III – mostly known as Menton3, is an American painter, illustrator, comic book artist and multi-instrumentalist. When describing his art, Matthews shared that he has had a lifelong interest in the relationship between symbols, signs and images and that part of ourselves we most commonly refer to as "unconscious". “My interest in painting stems from my investigation into the relationship between images and their relevant use within the psyche.”
This is a stunning piece of art done in watercolor and oil paint. It is very similar to a zombie that Menton3 painted but in full oil paint for a ZvR comic pin-up. But this cover also adds the white circle around the head (common in many of Menton3's pieces) and the cryptic language markings.
I have my own imaginary interpretation of this piece. I think of the ring around the zombie's head as a sighting scope for an alien assassin. The targeting mechanism sees the zombie's skull like a Predator. Interestingly, the lower jaw is missing - could this have been a "walker pet"? The alien writing is the assassin communicating with another alien or his home base. Love this piece!!!
