Allison and Greg started their business, Zombie Lounge in 2010. Allison was making handmade custom unique jewelry and husband Greg, a self-taught graphic artist, translated her visions through his designs. Together, they make a great team, and they started off by exhibiting in local craft and art markets each week. As momentum grew, they began traveling to various markets in Albuquerque, NM, Tucson, AZ, El Paso, TX, and Austin, TX for the Lone Star Roundup. Their jewelry and stickers were some of their biggest selling items. With a goal to create products that were different, unique, unusual and fun, they created a huge following! They continue to add new products and have expanded online. They are grateful to their loyal fans and customers who have stuck with them through the years. 

Their design aesthetic is a combination of Greg’s graphic style mixed with their shared passions for all things vintage, old hot rods, classic movie monsters, sci fi, rustic, horror and of course, Halloween!  They are huge Halloween fans and love to decorate with pumpkins, ghosts, and black cats. Their love for vintage style designs and all-holiday art, lead them both to Johanna Parker, and they fell in love with her artwork and her collections! They see her designs as a unique and perfect mix of vintage holiday decor, and it drove them to hunt for Johanna Parker items. As their collection grew, their passion for Johanna Parker designs pushed them to the next level in becoming a maker and dealer of her products. They were inspired to request permission to become a JPD Partner in Craft and collaborate with Johanna to integrate her artwork into a range of their products.

Johanna was smitten with Allison & Greg’s enthusiasm and creative vision to print and create decal sets of her illustrative characters! DIY products to inspire creativity and add style and smiles to home decor are dear to Johanna, and as such, a match was quickly made! Their bold designs are fresh and fun, and they all look forward to growing this playful collection which has debuted with vinyl decal Halloween stickers as well as Johanna’s spooky sweet patterns, printed on face coverings. Customer suggestions for new decals, etc.. are welcome, and there is more brewing in the Zombie Lounge + JPD cauldron!
