The Zombie Presidents of Jeremy Plemon Feast on the Brains of Tyranny
Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman — January 31, 2012 — Art & Design
Artist Jeremy Plemon has created four Zombie Presidents, which would make a fantastic premise for a B level movie. These presidential men have all been bitten with the urge of freedom, as well as the urge to feast upon brains.
Imagine going to the grave of Abe Lincoln to pay respects to a man that abolished slavery and then a fleshy hand burst from the ground. All of a sudden out pops the iconic president with maggots everywhere as he does the classic zombie moan. This is the terrifying world that Plemon has created.
If the Zombie Presidents were to run for office in this day and age, they would probably lose due to their aggressive and indecipherable debating skills.
