Once again, D. M. Gremlin Studios in Long Beach, CA is opening the studio doors for our monthly Open House and devMEET event on July 24 from 6pm-midnight!

The event is hosted by myself (^wynnesome), along with studio staff instructors Adam Chilson (*Doomsday-Dawn) and Lisa Berczel (^Battledress). Full information for the event is at the Open House web site.

This month we'll have our usual facilities tours of the photography and recording studios, socializing, meet & greet, and networking through the studio and backlot, and at least one room set up for casual photo shooting.

But for those who want to play, come prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse. It's on! Zombies vs zombie survivalists! Come as a zombie, a survivalist, or be prepared to be transformed into a shambling hulk of rotting flesh by our team of brain-eaters, er, MUA/fx artists, ^Battledress, =littlegett, and bodypainter Donna Hofstee! It's almost certain that at least one photo shoot will ensue!

RSVP is required to the studio's email address, studio@dm-gremlin.com, by 6pm on July 22 (48 hours in advance of the event). Please specify how many will be attending! The event is free and open to all, but we must know who and how many people to expect in the studio that evening.

We've had a great event for every month of 2009, meeting several new deviants since January! New friends include ~faithfulartist, *ksetrat, ^ElectrikPinkPirate, `GaioumonBatou, ~undead-poet14, and ~egomace - along with our crew of regulars!

Here is a small sampling of candid and photo shoot images shot at this year's Open House events so far:




And many many more can be see in the Open House/devMEET Shoots collection!

It's always an adventure at every event, and we hope a few of us will "survive" in July!
