🎙 I just want to take a moment to thank the Slash Sisters once again for doing another killer shout-out and feature of my “Chop Driftwood” split face portrait of Bill Moseley on today’s episode of their podcast! All you scared little rabbits need to run on over to their channel and tune in and hear their review and discussion of one of my fave horror movies.. House Of 1000 Corpses!

Don’t forget to give their channel some love and subscribe while you are there.

For those who may not know this, the art piece was inspired by Bill’s two iconic roles as Chop Top in Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 and Otis Driftwood in House of 1000 Corpses/The Devil’s Rejects. The references to “Dog Will Hunt” and “Run Rabbit Run” reflect those characters and helped make it the perfect fit for not just one, but two of their killer podcast episodes!

TBM Horror Features Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Mar Della Greca for the awesome write-up she did about me and my artwork on her killer platform, TBM Horror.

“The Dead Girl’s world is stitched together from obsessions with horror, glam rock, cult cinema, and the distorted innocence of the Henson-Burton lineage. A Bride of Frankenstein made up of Elvira’s camp and Jem’s sparkle, Nicole is a self-made mythical creature channeling her reverence for the strange and unusual  into an ever-evolving body of work…” Check out the full feature article here!

Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole Featured on TBM Horror

New to my blog? You can find this article as well as many other fun places that my art work has been featured on the Creature Features section of my portfolio website!

For those not familiar with TBM Horror, they love collaborating with and supporting creatives in the horror genre community and describe themselves as “a haven for horror enthusiasts”. As you know, I am always enthusiastic to extend and grow “my horror family” network and therefore I am incredibly honored to have my work be discovered and featured by them.

Stay Strange, & Magical,

New Limited Edition Pet Rockster and Zombie Decor Now At Closet Collectibles!

Over the weekend the hubby and I did an art drop at Closet Collectibles which included a new fuchsia purple Pet Rockster for those who love my whimsical creations and a Limited Edition Zombie Light Switch Cover for those who prefer the macabre side of my creations.

Here are some photos I took of each item before dropping them off at the store.

As you know, no two items I handcraft are ever the same. So once they are gone they are gone, making them that much more fun to get your hands on. So if you love these new items, you can support me as an artist by purchasing them online in my Etsy Shop or by visiting Closet Collectibles (Crete, Illinois location) to see them in person and get them at my discounted* in-store prices.

If you are new to my blog and ended up here due to your love of Monsters and Zombies be sure to also visit the Adopt The Undead & Moffins and Rocksters pages of my portfolio website to see more of my past creations.

I wanted to add that this weekend I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I sold my first canvas print to a Closet Collectibles shopper. This was just the win I needed to keep me motivated and the sign I needed to keep pushing through. Since being laid off I have been focusing a lot of my energy on new ways for my art collectors to enjoy my work and these canvas prints were a big part of kicking that off for me. So needless to say I am truly grateful someone saw one in person and decided to bring it home with them.

With that being said I wanted to get some feedback from everyone as to how you would like to see me restock canvas prints at Closet Collectibles. As you all know, whenever any 8.5″ x 11″ giclee print of mine sells out there, I always restock it to make it available to other shoppers. However canvas prints are more pricey, take a little longer turnaround time, and require more space. This means I can only have so many on display at one given time. Right now I am leaning more towards replacing a sold out canvas print with an entirely different piece to help rotate and keep things new and exciting, but I would love to get your feedback in the poll below.

Stay Strange & Magical,

*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.

Another Cotton Candy Cocoon Collector

Happy to say I was commissioned to make another one of my Cotton Candy Cocoon Ornaments and it is now being packaged up to ship to my new art collector!

This is now the 6th one of these that I have made for fellow Killer Klowns From Outerspace fans, and I love experimenting every time I make something I have made before. Always raising the bar and learning along the way on how I can improve my techniques. The upgraded hand sculpted toppers were the first thing I improved on and now this time I extended the cotton up a tad higher and also made it a little smoother. Needless to say, I am really happy with how it turned out and so is the client.

Once again I want to give a shoutout to my hubby Frank for always lending me his mad engineer skills to drill and make the tubing fit and work so perfectly every time I am commissioned to make one of these.

For those of you that are new to my work or stumbled across this post due to your love of campy 80’s horror movies, these handmade ornaments measure approximately 8″ from the bottom to the top of the hook. Each one is handcrafted so no two are ever the same. Unfortunately you can’t drink the essence of the person inside them as they’ve been pretty drained already, however they make pretty rad handmade horror decor for your home or Yule tree (if you like a spookier vibe for the holidays). My art collectors tend to display them next to their collection of Killer Klown figurines, Funkos, etc.

Also, these sold out very quickly when I first pre-made a couple of them so now I offer them as a Made-To-Order item in my Etsy shop. So if you are interested in commissioning me to make you one be sure to reach out with any questions or check out using the listing here.
