Happy October 1st my Freaky Fanatics! I have some fun and exciting news to share with all of you! Night Terror Magazine just released Issue 25 of their killer publication today and this one is extra special. The Of The Land & Winter Wails Issue is not only a community issue but it’s also their first quarterly issue and it features a very ghoul Holiday Gift Guide spotlighting small businesses that were hand selected by their editors…. including mine!

How fun are these graphics they created for the social post announcements….

This literary mag is filled with incredible folklore and short stories from the very talented horror community and although you can scroll the pages digitally online, I highly recommend purchasing a print copy. Not just for that nostalgic feeling of reading something in your hand that isn’t on a screen, but also to see all the hard work that goes into every page this publication puts together. You can find my work and shop featured in the gift guide section on page 60 of the digital zine (screen shot below) and can also order a copy in their shop on their website.

For those not familiar with Night Terror Magazine here is a snippet about them and why I was honored to be chosen to be a part of what they are producing:

Authors, artists, creatives, and enthusiasts make up this incredible community and it’s our mission to provide a platform to encompass the creative sphere. Night Terror supports the artistic liberation of self-publishing and empowers independent creators in the horror genre.

You can also check out and bookmark the Creature Features page of my portfolio website.

And if you are someone interested in showcasing my work in your next publication, exhibition, or creative venture let’s connect and start making some magic together!

If you enjoyed Issue 1 and Issue 2 of the Weird Professional Zine, get excited because Issue 3 is officially out now!

Just like with Issue 2, we were encouraged once again to design our own page(s)​ when we submitted our content, so this time I decided to layout and showcase my unique artistic way of “planting the seeds of the strange” with my handmade Potster Monstrosities!

Here is a how my finished page looks published in the zine….

Be sure to give the online version of the whole zine a look through and discover all the weird and wonderful things everyone submitted. It will be available on Flipbook (for 1 year) and you can also purchase a print copy and it is also available as a part of a bundle if you didn’t get your hands on the first two issues.

A big shoutout once again to our Fellowship Of The Weird Editor-in-Chief, Ambra Hubert for continuing to make this literary magazine possible and for giving all of us ‘weirdlings’ 👾 a platform to express ourselves without judgment!

Being a part of unique projects like this is exactly why I love sharing my work publicly.

If you don’t want to miss the fun ways my artwork is being featured be sure to subscribe here (it’s free) and bookmarking the Creature Features page of my portfolio website. And if you are interested in showcasing my work in your next publication, exhibition, or creative venture let’s connect and start making some magic together!

When I was at the shop this weekend I also did a little rearranging of my display. So when you are there you will also notice that my canvas print inventory is unusually low and there is a sign explaining why that is.

The All Hallow’s Potster Collection Has Bloomed! 🕷️🪴👹

After my brightly colored, sparkly and quirky spring variety of Potsters completely sold out, I couldn’t resist getting my claws into “gardening” again. Little did I know that by switching things up to a lush bed of hand-dyed graveyard moss, blood-red aura quartz charged by a lunar eclipse, and welcoming a little spider friend into each hand-painted terracotta pot, that I would conjure up a new variety of Potsters that would sprout oversized fangs, black foliage, spooky seasonal colored petals, and some wickedly adorable personalities.

So as an artist turned impromptu botanist once again, I am very excited to officially share my Limited Edition All Hallow’s Potster Collection. Four vampy little Potster Monstrosities exclusively for autumn and Halloween season (or if you’re like me, spooky it up all year long)!

No glittery sparkle was added to bright green moss or the hand painted pots this time, instead I hand dyed the moss giving it a darker grave yard vibe and gave the pots a metallic sheen. I substituted the clear crystal quartz from the spring variety with blood-red aura quartz. I also gave each of them a little spider friend to keep them company while their energy sparked during the lunar eclipse. Their disk florets didn’t form into adorable golden brown faces but instead silvery black with macabre sass. And instead of snaggle toothed grins smiling up at you, they snap back with venomous oversized fangs.

Why You’ll Love Them:
✨ Allergy free and low maintenance (they love being charged under the full moon from time to time)
✨ They’re perfect as forever greenery for your crypt or as a floral gift for your favorite fiend
✨ Each one has a unique personality/spooky season color, choose the one(s) that matches your vibe
✨ They are guaranteed to spark curious conversations and won’t snap back (unless provoked)
✨ They are collectible pieces of art you won’t find at any big box or Halloween stores

As pictured, these four pre-made botanical beasties are ready to find their forever humans and add a uniqueness to your spooky season (or every day) decor. 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.

They have already made their debut in my Etsy shop and are available to purchase for online shoppers. Any that have not been adopted by the time I make my next art drop at Closet Collectibles will be also be added to my Cabinets of Curiosities display for local collectors who wish to see and adopt one in person.*

Don’t miss your chance to add a bit of spooky fun, crystal-conjured botany to your monster menagerie! 🕷️🪴💎✨
