Your average surburbanite zombie.

Asked by shockvalue (5800points) December 4th, 2008

For my Drawing final I’m planing to create 8 to 10 drawings (about 9×12 each) depicting mundane suburban events—but with zombies instead of humans. No gore, no violence, all metaphor. (political)

I’m thinking, something akin to Leave It to Beaver-style suburbia, the perfect “atomic family” setting. I want to compare [Smug? Deluded? Sheltered?] ‘50s suburbia to the War on Iraq, and how America is so damn complacent when faced with the daily atrocities in the rest of the world.

Anyhow, do you guys have any ideas for scenes? So far, I’ve got: A woman in a kitchen looking upset with a broken pickle jar at her feet; A guy working at Gamestop with a sign that says “killer deals”; A man eating noodles, but with a human head in the bowl and holding an eyeball in his chopsticks, and… Well, that’s about it for now.

Suggestions are mandatory welcome!
