Promocalypse 2013 days away! 04.17.2013

Promocalypse 2013 is quickly approaching! Make sure to join us Saturday April 27th at Cannery Ballroom for a night of fun, dancing, and best of all, ZOMBIES!

What is the PROMOCALYPSE?
It’s a prom! Dancing, DJs, balloons, streamers, the works. The only difference is that you don’t have to sneak out to the parking lot to drink (as long as you’re 21 & up). Oh, and the zombies. Cities across the world have hosted Zombie Walks, Zombie Crawls, and Zombie Proms. It’s your chance to get creative with makeup and costume to become a zombie for one night,… Read More

Our scheduling process explained 01.15.2013

Black 13 consists of seven artists and two assistants that deal with what we call our customer and artist relations. When a customer calls, emails, or stops in, we work with them individually to understand their needs and determine the artist best suited for them. We feel that our artists are at their best when they are focusing on their artwork and with the amount of time needed to prepare and fulfill each appointment, our assistants work on behalf of the customer and the artist to discuss ideas, estimate cost and time involved, and schedule the customer along with being… Read More

Promocalypse 2012 April 28th! 04.24.2012

If you’re in the area, make plans to attend Promocalypse 2012 April 28th at Cannery Ballroom. For far too long, social events have unfairly excluded Zombiekind. If you are one of the reanimated dead, or are in a relationship with one, there is no reason to hide in the dark any longer! If you are a living human who is sympathetic to the cause of Reanimated Rights, or have ever been Zombie-curious, you are also welcome to join this historic event. For one night, let’s put our differences aside, dance, and have fun!
