5 out of 5 starsSo funny! No one I showed it to had ever seen anything like it! The woman I gave it to laughed for like 20 minutes, she LOVES it! The seller was up front about the wait-time due to health issues (it still only took about 3 weeks). Very happy, will definitely use this shop for all of my zombie gnome needs 😆

Chris and Anthony painting together during the Christmas rush 2018
Making a living with Zombies
In January 2011 Chris Stever was stuck in horrible traffic when he came up with a funny idea. What if the zombie apocalypse could effect mythical creatures like gnomes? So Chris made one for a special effects class he was taking. His classmates loved it so much that he decided to make some more with the help of his then girlfriend Jane. Now 10 years later Chris and Jane have sold over 18,000 Zombie Gnomes to over 16 different countries. All of their products are handmade and painted in Southern California by the two of them.
In 2013 Chris and Jane tied the knot and in June 2015 they had their first son Anthony and their 2nd child Liam in Nov. 2016.
