I’ve been enjoying XOMBIE (a self produced animated series) by James Farr for a while now, and I’m excited to learn he has his first book out based on the series. I can’t believe the dude is only 27 years old! It’s impressive. Anyway, XOMBIE: DEAD ON ARRIVAL is going to be available by the end of the month and you can pre-order it on Amazon. If you go to his website, you can check out his animations online from there. The animations are very well done, it’s hard to believe its the work of just one solitary guy. He also has some awesome T-Shirts for sale.

It’s really inspiring to see people with great ideas just independently producing content. As he says on his website Xombified.com:

“Xombie is a one-man operation, written, funded, storyboarded, animated, edited and published by me: James Farr. I do everything but the voices.”

Also, the News on 6 KOTV (I guess he lives in Oklahoma) has a news interview with James Farr here.

He also has an ingenius idea for raising donations to help him continue to work on his animations/books and other projects. Depending on the amount you donate, he thanks you in different ways. The most creative one is at a $250 donation, he will draw a zombie in your image as part of the story. What a brilliant idea!
