First off, thank you again to everyone who came out and purchased a piece of my artwork at the Unruly Art Market on Sunday. It was so great to see so many of my creations find new homes with amazing art collectors.
This update is to let my online shoppers know that I have finally “dug”🧟♀️ through what’s left of my inventory from the show and have taken the time to list every piece that is still available for purchase in my Etsy Shop
So if last week you were reading all my new creation updates on here and were bummed that you couldn’t make it out, or if you didn’t have enough cash on hand at the show, now is your chance to get your claws on the “remains.”🧟♀️
Make sure to act fast before I make my Closet Collectibles art drop this weekend. Once that drop happens, these unique pieces will also become available to my art collectors who like to do in-store shopping* from my Cabinets of Curiosities at the shop. Which means you will have more claws to compete against if you want to add them to your collection. As always, each of my creations are handmade and never mass produced* which makes them one-of-a-kind. So in other words, once they are gone they are gone for good. So go get you some!
What a beautiful day for an exorcism….I mean an art show! Thank you to everyone who came out to the Unruly Art Market yesterday (I wish I had gotten pictures of all of you). It means the world to me that so many people in my life showed up because you see me, and you understand that art runs deep in my soul and fuels my very existence. By doing so, it’a testament of how much you truly support and believe in me, and my heart is so full right now 🥰✨️
It was also so rewarding to connect with so many new artists and reconnect with others I have known for years. Being surrounded by your amazing artwork was so fulfilling! 🖼✨️
A big HUZZAH to my friends Ellie and Strazz for venturing out early to set up, helping me keep my shit together all day, making sure our crew was fed and taken care of, lending their canopy to Melissa, staying late to help take down.. and so much more. Frank and I are so blessed to have such caring best friends in our corner. We seriously can’t thank you two enough! 💎✨️
Shout out to my incredibly talented friend April Adams for wanting to give back to all her creative friends by putting on such an amazing show and motivating me to take a break from vendor retirement! It was so great to be a part of something that was truly created to support artists. 🎪✨️
Thank you to Loren at Crow and Calico for your hospitality and being my first sale of the day! Can’t wait to come back to see my It’s Gonna Be That Kindof Mornin’ Pee Wee Herman art piece on display at the bar and to spend more countless hours getting my kitty fix in from Whiskey Tea! 🥃😻
Last but not least, a shout out to my husband Frank, who not only is my rock but puts up with all my shenanigans and is along for the ride for all my crazy ventures. Even when one minute I am on a high inspired and motivated and the next minute, I am overwhelmed and pulling my hair out. You see all of me, and I hope one day you can at least say I never made your life boring. 🤪🌙
I am exhausted today after weeks and weeks of preparation, the show, and now to unpack and inventory everything, but it was all so worth it to get unruly with all of you in the name of art! 👩🏻🎨💗
We have officially reached the final day of my daily creation countdown updates in anticipation of the Unruly Art Market. After this post, I will be spending my time retrieving some of my creations from my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles, packing up my purple canopy and loading up my bins for the big show on Sunday.
This week, I’ve introduced you to some brand-new lineages of Monstrosities that I have conjured up, from my tiny Bite-Sized Monsterpieces to the stellar special edition 4×4″ Orion, and just yesterday, my brand new botanical beasties, the Potsters. But for my final sneak peek before the show, I wanted to shine a light on some familiar favorites. While these aren’t brand-new creation lines, these specific pieces are fresh, never-before-seen variations of concepts my art collectors already know and love!
The Pet Rockster 🪨👹✨
The ultimate low-maintenance companion is back. This newly hatched (from a real rock I found in nature) Pet Rockster features a fresh combination of fiery colors and hand-sculpted details. Like my other Pet Rocksters, it sits proudly inside its very own little cage, surrounded by sparkly soft moss, colorful faux mushrooms, and aura red crystals to feed his whimsical cravings.
Mini Jarsters 🫙👹✨
I have not one, but two brand-new Jarsters ready for the market as well. Like my other Mini Jarsters, these are also made from 3″ clear glass mini mason jars that I hand sculpted into the perfect blend of functional art and creature decor. They are ready to open their heads (literally) to your secrets while protecting your tiny treasures, hand written manifestations/wishes, herbs, dice, spells, and trinkets.
3×3″ Mini Monsterpiece 🖼️ 👹✨
This new canvas creature packs all the texture and bite of my other 3×3″ Mini Monsterpieces, but this one is a total trailblazer like my Alter Ego versions. Done in a vibrant green texture with orange shell fangs, curled in horns and a wild shock of red hair, he is the first of his kind to rock a goatee! He’s a super cool, laid-back beast just vibing on his matching red easel, ready to bring some relaxed, monster energy to your favorite nook.
Whether you are looking to adopt a reimagined classic or one of this week’s brand-new featured species, my booth at the Unruly Art Market will be packed to the brim with handmade, hand drawn never mass produced*, whimsical weird human art.
So make sure to accept this quest and journey out THIS Sunday, May 31st to Crow & Calico in Monee, IL and claim the art that speaks to you! Just look for the purple canopy on the horizon (cause as you all tell me, my “branding is always on point” 💜 ) and come say hello and give a “Huzzah!” to the girl who loves monsters, whimsy and pop culture.
Please note that any of my creations that are not purchased at the show will later be added to my Etsy shop (for online shoppers) and placed inside my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles (for my in-store shoppers)*
As you all have been getting my updates, you can see I have been spending a lot of time in my art space conjuring up creations, checking visions off my art bucket list, and preparing for the Unruly Art Market. Little did you know that this time has also been spent tending to a very special, hidden corner of my workspace due to what has been sprouting inside this whimsical weird brain of mine.
And little did I know that if I plant the seeds of a strange idea in the dark long enough, it might just start biting at me to finally bring it to life. So this artist turned impromptu botanist stopped ignoring the seedling cries of creation and started “gardening”. The end result was a brand new species of creature I’ve been cultivating that bridges the gap between cute houseplants and my Monstosities. I call them Potsters and let’s just say they aren’t your average garden-variety.
And the real magic doesn’t even start with their adorable and quirky personalities. It goes deep down in the soil. I’ve always believed that balanced positive energy makes everyone grow better.
So, when “planting” these wild little flora, I skipped the standard fertilizer. Instead, each Potster sits in a lush bed of vibrant, sparkly moss charged with hidden raw quartz crystal points that act like a little supernatural battery, giving them just enough energy to sprout those delightfully creepy faces and keep their snaggle-teeth grinning at you all day long.
Why You’ll Love Them: ✨ Zero-maintenance, allergy free, and non-seasonal (they prefer being indoors & moon bathing) ✨ They’re perfect as forever greenery for your crypt or as a floral gift for someone you love ✨ Each one has its own unique personality, allowing you to choose the one that matches your vibe ✨ They are guaranteed to spark curious conversations and enjoy listening to you brag about them ✨ They are collectible handmade art pieces you won’t find at any big box store or greenhouse
As pictured, these three pre-made botanical beasties are ready to keep showing off their petals for their forever humans. Since they are handmade and not mass produced* no two will ever be recreated exactly the same. Meaning they will only take root for the human they were destined to grow for.
Anyone attending the Unruly Art Market THIS SUNDAY, May 31st will get first dibs on adopting them. Any Potsters still searching to root themselves after the event will be added to my Etsy shop for online shoppers and placed inside my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles for those who wish to see and adopt one in person.*
Don’t miss your chance to add a bit of bizarre, crystal-conjured botany to your monster menagerie! 🌱💎✨
