Unruly Art Market Recap 👩🏻‍🎨🎪✨️

Posted on by

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! 👩🏻‍🎨💗

Stay Strange & Magical✨️

Etsy’s 20th Boosts Support For Artists For A Limited Time!

Posted on by

Etsy is turning 20, and to celebrate, they’re boosting the benefits of their Share & Save program, meaning I get to keep more of my earnings when you use my special link to shop!

Having been laid off in February, this couldn’t come at a better time. Every order you place through my Etsy shop helps me keep creating the spooky, whimsical art you love, but now more than ever, it helps me to pay bills!

Here’s the key: to make sure more of your purchase supports me as the artist, you must use my direct Share & Save link:

👉 livingdeadgirlnicole.etsy.com 👈

This lets Etsy knows you found me because you are one of my art collectors and not just from searching their platform or seeing paid ads, in turn I get a bigger share of earnings from your orders during this limited-time promo (through July 23 at 9am ET).

So, in other words, if you’ve been eyeing one of my creations now’s the perfect time to grab it and know more of your money goes to me and not to Etsy fees.

If you are new here, be sure you also bookmark the link and use it whenever shopping or sharing my work, so I will receive at least the 4% after this special promo is over with.

Thank you for supporting independent artists. Your orders mean the world to me now and always!

Stay Strange & Magical,

Living Dead Girl Nicole Joins Artist-First Platform Lyric!

I’m thrilled to announce that Artwork By Living Dead Girl Nicole is now a part of the Lyric art community!

My belief in art as a tool for connection and my passion for uplifting other creatives resonated deeply when I learned about Lyric and their mission, which made me confident it was the perfect new platform to showcase my artwork.

What Is Lyric?

Lyric is more than just an e-commerce platform for artists, makers, and indie brands, it’s a collaborative environment built for creatives to empower one another. Lyric’s mission is to help creators grow their businesses by offering intuitive tools and beautiful storefronts, while also providing a space where artists can recommend and support one another to increase exposure for our work as a whole.

Explore My Lyric Store

👉 Bookmark this 🔗 https://livingdeadgirlnicole.lyric.store

Whether you’re a longtime collector or discovering my work for the first time, you can now find the same curated selection of my horror, pop culture, and whimsical art that is available to purchase online at Lyric.

And… if you are a fellow artist on Lyric you can now connect with my shop and recommend it to others.

Farewell Amazon Handmade

The Shop My Creations page of my portfolio website has been updated to reflect the addition of my new Lyric shop alongside Etsy and Closet Collectibles. You may also notice that Amazon Handmade has been removed, this is because I’ve decided to close that shop. Unfortunately, I experienced repeated issues with online art theft from individuals stealing my listings and attempting to resell my work on foreign platforms. Rather than continue fighting a system that doesn’t adequately protect independent artists, I’m choosing to focus my energy on platforms like Lyric, where the emphasis is truly on creators and our artist community.

I’m so grateful to have such wonderful supporters, and I look forward to building new connections through Lyric. If you’re an artist, collector, or lover of unique art, I hope you’ll join me there!

Stay Strange & Magical,
LDG Nicole

Just a friendly reminder that National Handmade Day is April 5th! While it’s always encouraged to support handmade small businesses all year long, this Saturday is a great time to celebrate and show local artisans that you believe in them! ✍️🔫👩🏻‍🎨✨️

Ways you can support me as a handmade artist…

Stay Strange & Magical ✨

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.
