The Mini Creep Gets Wise, Brave, and Tricky with Living Dead Girl Nicole’s Coraline Art

Posted on by

You may recall a little fiend (aka friend) I made at Flashback Weekend in 2021. It was the first time since the pandemic that we were finally able to go to a horror con again and she had the right idea on masking up.. as Sam from Trick ‘r Treat! She asked to take a photo with our Stripe gremlin and I myself just had to get a pic with her and her amazing cosplay.

Since then, Raven aka The Mini Creep has become a part of my horror community fam and I have stayed in contact with her and her Mom ever since. They are the ones I give credit to for getting to spend our anniversary getaway dinner at Famous Monsters Pizza. They have also given me lots of other travel advice including tips for when I finally get to take my dream trip to Salem, MA.

I have had the joy of buying some of the items she has put up for sale and supporting her fundraising efforts so she can continue doing what she loves…. going to cons, cosplaying her heart out, and meeting her fave icons and people (like myself) that love the genre. Something I would’ve loved to have done when I was her age if stuff like this has existed back then. Another thing I love about Raven is not only does she rock her cosplay to the fullest, she actually helps her Mom make the costumes. I have even had the honor of seeing sneak peek photos that she sends to me during their creation process. She has entered many costume contests at these cons and she impresses the judges with her abilities to act the characters out on stage. Not surprising though, as this little one is also a scream queen herself and has already landed a few acting gigs along the way.

As a thank you for my support she painted me a small painting which she sent to me with some other goodies, including her Pennywise cosplay logo sticker which is seen here displayed on my art drawing board. I just adore that she chose to use my fave galaxy colors for the painting she made me. They definitely scream “Nicole” and it is now displayed in my art space room.

So now that you know about The Mini Creep, here is where the Freaky Fanatic part comes in. She recently sent me this adorable photo of herself proudly displaying her print of my  “Be Wise. Be Brave. Be Tricky.” painting of Coraline and I just had to share it (with her Mom’s permission of corpse) ….

Thank you for being so ghoul Raven and sending me this awesome photo! Keep doing what you love!

Want to see more photos of my Freaky Fanatics (aka happy customers) then be sure to stop by my official art portfolio website where you will see Raven along with all the others in my slideshows! It may just inspire you to buy something from my Etsy shop or display case at Closet Collectibles and become a Freaky Fanatic yourself!

New Iron On Art Patches at Closet Collectibles!

This weekend I did another art drop off at Closet Collectibles in Crete IL! This included restocking sold out items but also adding a brand new product… iron on art patches!

I had a total of 50 patches made of my most popular art pieces, but here’s the kicker… there is only 1 patch made of each art piece! So if there is a particular art piece that speaks to you, be sure to make a trip to Closet Collectibles ASAP to get your hands on these unique pieces of wearable art. They are only $10 a piece and are a fun new way to rock my work!

Living Dead Girl Nicole's Art on Iron On Patches available at Closet Collectibles

I also have very little inventory left of my art print puzzles so I have decided to slash the price of the remaining stock to 50% off! That’s right, all of the remaining print puzzles are now only $5 a piece at Closet Collectibles. This will allow me to make more room for even more items I have in the works. Look for them in the same bin as the iron on patches and my remaining inventory of 5″x7″ prints.

I also decided the remaining stock of my Skullerfly Crystal Wreaths needed a better display stand. So I purchased this gothy little “Tim Burton like” tree and I could not be happier with the way it looks. I find it much more fitting for my work and it also leaves me room to make and add more of them. Although these particular creations are available to purchase in my online Etsy shop they are available at a discounted price* (as marked) for my in store Closet Collectibles shoppers and make for great gifts as well.

See these new additions and all my other art pieces in my display cabinet at Closet Collectibles and don’t forget to tell them Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya while you are there!

*Price is discounted from online store prices. Etsy listings reflect the unfortunate amount of shop and transaction fees they charge us artists to sell online. If you are local or traveling to Illinois, I encourage my clients to save money and see my work on full display by shopping my artwork in person with my consignment partner, Closet Collectibles where they truly support my creative endeavors to the fullest as their resident local artist.

Truly Outrageous and Spellbinding Art Now at Closet Collectibles

This weekend my husband and I made a stop at Closet Collectibles to do another restock and art drop off while also picking up some items they are donating for the swag bag prizes I am putting together for the upcoming Flashback Weekend Horror Con.

The two newest handmade items hitting their store shelves are my Amethyst Skullerfly Ornamental Crystal Wreath and a new Closet Collectibles exclusive item!

Let’s just say.. if Barbie is not quite your thing right now, I have you covered. This new exclusive item is for my fellow truly outrageous Jem and the Holograms groupies! My “It’s Showtime Synergy” split face Jem and Pizzazz painting is now a part of my Limited Edition Signed Prints in Resurrected Frames (upcycled and hand decorated by me)! 💖👩🏻‍🎤🧑🏻‍🎤💚

Like my other resurrected framed prints, this is also a Closet Collectibles exclusive item, which means if you want to own this unique piece of “art framed in art” you can only purchase it in person at their Crete, IL. store location. However, If you would like a made-to-order giclee print or t-shirt of the art piece those are always available to purchase online in my Etsy shop.

So after you share this post, be sure to take a break from the internet, shop small and go support local at Closet Collectibles. Their shop has so many incredible items you won’t regret paying them a visit (except for the fact that you may want everything you see) and like the rest of us, will most likely become a regular as their inventory is always changing with fun new items.

Be sure to tell them Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya!

Stronger Than The Storm

Now that the recipient has received it, here’s a little painting I did as a gift to someone I know who is facing some major storms right now.

I was trying to think of something to send them as a gift to brighten their spirits and then I saw this little 4″ x 6″ blank canvas stashed in my art room and inspiration struck. So glad that it did because they really like it and it made the gift more personable.

Enjoy this little painting? Then be sure to visit my portfolio website and check out the Drippings page as well as the Remains page to see other things I have painted over the years.

Stay Spooky & Magical!
