Meet the Original Creator of Zombie Portraits
Modern Decay Artist
Rob Sacchetto is the world’s premiere zombie artist and the original creator of the modern Zombie Portrait. Since 2006, he has hand-drawn and painted over 10,000 custom undead creations for fans, collectors, and brands around the globe. Based in Sudbury, Ontario, Rob’s unmistakable style has earned him recognition from AMC’s The Walking Dead, Bicycle Playing Cards, and Rue Morgue Magazine, solidifying his place as a true pioneer in horror-inspired fine art. Each piece is crafted entirely by hand with traditional paint, pen, and ink — no filters, no shortcuts, just raw imagination and decay. Beyond his artwork, Rob hosts nightly livestreams on YouTube (@ZombiePortraits) where he shares his process, offers art lessons, and talks pop culture with fans worldwide. After nearly two decades, he continues to inspire new generations of artists to embrace the strange and celebrate creativity through the art of the undead.
