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!
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 always, my art collectors who choose to shop my work in person at Closet Collectibles (vs online in my Etsy shop) receive discounted “support local” in-store pricing* so be sure to go check out whats new at the store, stock up on my art and nostalgic collectibles, and don’t forget to tell Chris and the gang that “Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya!”
This weekend my husband Frank and I had a great time supporting my consignment partner Closet Collectibles who hosted their first toy show. The whole community center was filled with vendors (I didn’t get photos of everyone due to the angles of the room), they had a food truck, a hot dog and snack stand, raffles and constant foot traffic of treasure hunters coming and going all day long. So happy the event was such a huge success for them and all the vendors involved. It was great being able to network with so many new faces and reconnect with many familiar ones as well.
After the show we went back to the shop to do an art drop. Since some of my larger items have sold out I was able to re-arrange a few things and give my Jarsters 👹🫙 their official debut in my Cabinets of Curiosities.
That’s right you can now go see these adorable mischievous faces and adopt them in person at Closet Collectibles! I promise you that pictures do not do them justice and they are already having fun grinning at shoppers from the cabinet window hoping someone has a stash of herbs, spells, secrets, wishes, and other tiny treasures they need help protecting! ✨️
