Third times the charm! Once again thank you to the Slash Sisters for doing yet another killer shout-out of my artwork on their podcast show! This time featuring my “Well Shit The Bed” split face portrait of my dearly departed friend, Sid Haig!
This episode in particular reviews the film 3 From Hell and if you know me personally, you know that this movie is a hard subject for me to talk about. It’s not just about how badly our Captain’s legacy was handled on screen but also what happened behind the scenes that most people aren’t even aware of. So whenever someone brings the film up, it always gets me fired up because I will always have my friend Sid’s back. With that being said, I truly appreciate the way the Slash Sisters used their platform to pay tribute to the true face of the franchise and Firefly family. While talking about the atrocity that is this film (fight me on it 🤨), they managed to utilize my artwork to shine a light on what should’ve really mattered during the production… Sid’s life and legacy. 🤡💕
If you have not already done so from the last two times these amazing women featured my artwork, please go subscribe to their channel and thank them for giving my artwork and Sid some love on their show!

If you were a kid in the 80s, chances are you also witnessed your Grandma getting a little too excited by televangelists. Those larger-than-life, comical religious figures of mega churches live on your TV screen, promising miracles galore, letting you “praise God” from the comfort of your living room… and of course, reminding everyone to send in their tithes to keep the show on the air!
So it was no surprise that when Rough House Pictures released The Righteous Gemstones, my brother Mike, already a couple episodes in, told me, “You have to watch this show!” I hadn’t even heard of it yet, but as he described the over-the-top “holy rollers” and their absurd antics, I knew I was in for a wild ride.
As soon as I started watching the show, I was hooked and began tuning in every week. My husband and I would sarcastically announce, “It’s time for church!” every Sunday evening when the show aired. I was captivated by the comical “behind-the-scenes” lives of those running a megachurch, their greed, theatrics, and absurd charm all rolled into one chaotic spectacle. Watching it all unfold reminded me why, as an adult, I’ve taken a more spiritual path over Grandma’s traditional, organized religion.
But there was one character I couldn’t get enough of and every week hoped he would make an appearance, and that was Uncle Baby Billy Freeman, brilliantly played by Walton Goggins. His outrageous antics, sheer audacity, and hilarious one liners reminded me why I never got good vibes about Grandma’s TV miracle workers.
The first time I recall seeing Walton was as Officer Naish in House of 1000 Corpses, where his demise became a silent, chilling, and unforgettable moment that will forever go down in horror movie history. Every role I’ve seen him in since has been incredible and no matter what character he’s given, he knows the assignment. I mean, just look at Venus Van Dam in Sons of Anarchy! And here’s a funny one: while rewatching all of Beverly Hills 90210 to get my Brenda Walsh/Shannen Doherty fix, I had the mind-blown moment of realizing I was 44 years old when I discovered Walton had a small role on the show. Needless to say, Walton’s range, charisma, and sheer presence make him endlessly fascinating to watch and made it impossible not to add him to my art bucket list. I had hoped to finish this piece before the last episode aired but life got in the way and although the show is no longer on I wasn’t going to let that stop me from completing my vision. So here it is…
I call this piece “Voila! No More COVID!” a line Baby Billy uses to sell viewers on his smooth coconut elixir that is blessed by God and ready to heal all your ailments. Just like your Grandma used to love. This split face portrait of Walton and his televangelist alter ego was created using pencil, chalk pastels, and colored pencil.

Today would’ve been Paul Reubens birthday, and what better way to celebrate this legendary icon that I love so much, then with a new Freaky Fanatic submission showcasing my Pee Wee Herman art!
Troy, one of my awesome art collectors, purchased an 8×10 canvas print of my piece “It’s Gonna Be That Kind of Mornin'”, a tribute inspired by my lifelong obsession with Pee Wee’s Playhouse. His print now proudly hangs in his man cave, where he loves to kick back and let loose. And really, what better way to unwind than with some playful, nostalgic Pee Wee vibes in the mix?!
In true Conky fashion, I leave you with the Word of the Day, and that is “GRATEFUL” Grateful (are you screaming real loud?) for all of my art collectors like Troy who love what I do and proudly display my work in places that bring them joy! And grateful (did you scream real loud again?) to Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman whose incredible talents brought so much joy into all of our lives that it inspired me to create the original of this art piece.
Speaking of sharing the love, if you’re new here, be sure to check out Troy’s photos and video featured alongside some of my other happy art collector submissions on my Freaky Fanatics page. While you’re there, take your next “big adventure” by exploring my portfolio, filled with handmade, hand-drawn, and hand-painted creations across the pages of my site.
