For some, the '70s was the decade of the decline of the hippie culture, the rise of neoliberalism, the oil crisis, disco music or, maybe, the first PCs. For others it was the time when the recently deceased roamed the earth feeding on the flesh of the terrified living. Blame it on George A. Romero, the director that shaped the ghouls to come with his Night of the Living Dead in 1968 and, in 1978, created his most powerful zombie attack ever with the legendary Dawn of the Dead.
Fans are well-versed in the importance of the Monroeville Mall in the film and I'm sure they will appreciate this great ringer- shirt that pays homage to Romero's dark social comment. Being a fan myself, I was glad to discover this cool design from GritFX, a store with a keen eye for TV and Movie culture, strange humor and overall delicious weirdness!

De vermis mysteriis
Let's see now, what have we got here? A cute, little... gross and disgusting worm? Well... yes! These soft colors and smooth curves serve to fool you into expecting something wholesome and righteous. Instead, we get this blind maggot -not to mention full of teeth- sitting proudly on a steak.
Kudos to this great John Schwegel design for pulling such a trick on us.
His ability in executing hilarious abominations is his trademark. Let's have a look at this one:
How about a sensitive Zombie for a t-shirt? Devil's in the details, and the scissors-adorned head cracks me up! Great illustrations from a great artist. You can buy his stuff on J.Schwegel Gallery and you can check his fantastic portfolio here.
