The updates have been dropping like vamps in Sunnydale this week, and the momentum isn’t stopping just yet. I know your feed and your inbox are taking a hit, but I wouldn’t want you to be… “bored now” would I? So, “buckle up, Rupert”, because I’ve got some more news to share with my art collectors and the prophecy is now ready to be revealed.

I am officially one of the chosen ones… as in, an artist whose work has been accepted by Hellmouth Events and Giant-Size Productions for their upcoming Art of The Hellmouth Buffy & Angel Tribute Exhibition! My “I Am The Magics” Willow Rosenberg art piece was selected to slay it on display alongside other Buffyverse inspired artwork in a two-week pop-up gallery show that runs from October 17 to November 1, 2026 at Moby’s Coffee & Tea Co. located in North Hollywood, CA. 🪦

Now, if you are one of my art collectors who has been following my artventure journeys here, you are already fully aware that my dream is to gift Alyson Hannigan my original 8×10″ version of this piece and therefore its not available for sale. So I am contributing a rare, first-of-its-kind 16×20″ canvas print specifically for this show! Whoever purchases this limited edition art print will also receive a certificate of authenticity that states the following:

This certificate confirms that the artwork identified herein is a limited-edition, professionally produced canvas print created specifically for: The Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel Tribute Exhibition Show at Moby’s. The original piece was hand-drawn by the artist using pencil and chalk pastels on 8″x10″ paper. This document certifies that this piece is the first-ever 16″x20″ canvas print produced from the original artwork.

There will also be 5×7″ prints of my art piece included in Mystery Blind Bundle Packages that will be available to purchase at the show and to top things off 10% of ALL art sales will go to to Fandom Charities Org: a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007 to bring fans together in support of meaningful causes. They turn shared passion into real world impact through events, community experiences, and fundraising efforts that celebrate fandom while helping others.

Daily gallery access to see the exhibition is completely free at Moby’s, but the curators and production staff will also be hosting a ticketed Celebrity Kickoff & Drusilla After Dark Event on opening night, Saturday, October 17, featuring a public signing and evening screening with the one and only Juliet Landau! ⚰️

And that’s not all. They are also hosting a ton of other Buffyverse themed events during the duration of the show. Being stuck out in the Midwest and just reading about everything they have planned gives my jealousy quite the “Spike”. Oh, and did I mention, Moby’s is brewing up some Buffy themed drinks and cafe items as well! You know the tea drinker in me would be dying to sink her teeth into those! ☕️

So, if you are a slayer or a member of the Scooby Gang, be sure to patrol your way to Moby’s in North Hollywood, California from October 17th – November 1st, 2026 and claim your “stake” on my art! 🧛🏻‍♀️

Last but not least, if you are new here, and just happened upon this post, be sure to check out the Creature Features page of my portfolio website. There, you can find this exhibition listed alongside some of the other unique places my art has been featured over the years. And if you’re a gallery, curator, publication, or other outlet that is interested in showcasing my work, let’s connect, chat and make some magic together!

Gallerium’s Girlish Art Exhibition features ‘I Am The Somebody. I’m The Fire’ Daisy Jones Piece by Living Dead Girl Nicole 🎀🖼️🌼

I am excited to share that I have more art exhibition news! Not only is my “Invite Me In” piece being featured in the Bloodsuckers: Art Of The Undead’ exhibition that opened at Evolved Art Gallery in Ventura, California this past weekend, but now another piece of my work is being featured in a virtual exhibition curated by Gallerium on the Biafarin platform.

The theme of the exhibition is Girlish 🎀: Stories of Femininity, Strength, and Becoming: A chance to express the essence, struggles, and triumphs of girls and women by celebrating their diverse stories through art. Exploring the depths of femininity, conveying self-discovery, empowerment, societal expectations, cultural influences, and personal narratives revealing the strength, beauty, challenges, and resilience of women.

I submitted a few of my portrait pieces on a whim to see if the curators may want to feature one or all of them and was thrilled that they accepted my ‘I Am The Somebody. I’m The Fire’ piece that I hand drew in pencil and chalk pastels in tribute to Riley Keough as Daisy Jones. 🌼 Not just because I love the piece, but because the character of Daisy and her journey truly fits the theme so perfectly.

When submitting the work they asked for description of what inspired the piece in which I wrote:

I Am The Somebody. I’m The Fire.” is a traditional pencil and soft chalk pastel portrait paying tribute to the feisty, determined character of Daisy Jones, played by Riley Keough, in the musical drama series Daisy Jones & The Six. Inspired by the 1970s rock scene and heavily rooted in Fleetwood Mac lore, the piece channels a nostalgic seventies aesthetic to capture Daisy’s turbulent journey toward self-belief and artistic independence. The title and composition pull references from various defining moments in Daisy’s journey, focusing closely on the iconic aesthetics of the fictional Aurora album photo shoot. Ultimately, this portrait honors a fiercely resilient woman overcoming an unsupportive past to follow her dreams, find her fire, choose happiness, and become her own “somebody,” a creative force who refused to be anyone’s muse but her own.

The exhibition is already being featured in Art Week and includes this really cool collage of all the incredible work that was accepted by the 86 artists for the show:

So be sure to check out this virtual exhibition taking place September 12th – November 12th, 2026 via the online gallery platform and be sure to give my piece some love (via the ❤️ icon next to the listing) while you are there.

Please note that my piece shows up in this exhibition as Not For Sale because the original 8×10″ version is in my personal collection in hopes that maybe one day I cross paths with Riley and can gift it to her. After all, Daisy did teach us ladies to believe in ourselves and to follow our dreams.

And just because I am dreaming does not mean my art collectors can’t enjoy this piece for their very own collection. Made-to order giclee, metallic, canvas prints and t-shirts of the piece are available to order in my Etsy shop, and if you are a local to Illinois there is currently still an 8×10″ and 4×6″ canvas print of this piece on display and available to purchase from my Artist Of The Month Display at Soundgrowler! If you love rock music you will definitely love the atmosphere there!

Last but not least, if you are new here, and just happened upon this post, be sure to check out the Creature Features page of my portfolio website.

Evolved Art Gallery Bloodsuckers Exhibition will Feature ‘Invite Me In’ Jessica Hamby Piece by Living Dead Girl Nicole 🫦🖼️🧛🏻‍♀️

Following a highly successful run at the ‘I Know You Are But What Am I?’ Pee-wee Herman exhibition, where all of my prints sold out and I had the lovely experience of working with Christina (the gallery owner) who is a absolute gem, I decided to submit to Evolved Art Gallery‘s next showcase: Bloodsuckers: Art Of The Undead’ 🧛🏻‍♀️✨

With that being said, I am thrilled to announce that my work was accepted, and this time it won’t be in the limited edition print rack. Instead for this show, my ‘Invite Me In’ pencil, colored pencil and charcoal portrait piece inspired by Deborah Ann Woll’s portrayal of Jessica Hamby in True Blood 🫦 will creep up the walls with all the other incredible vampy art that has been accepted into the show.

Now, if you are one of my art collectors who has been following my artventure journeys, you are already fully aware that the original 8×10″ version of this piece was gifted directly to Deborah Ann Woll, and therefore its not available for sale.

Since baby vamp Jessica herself has the piece in her collection, I am contributing a rare, first-of-its-kind 16×20″ canvas print specifically for this show! It will come with a certificate of authenticity that states the following:

“This certificate confirms that the artwork identified in this document is a limited edition professionally printed canvas print made specifically for the Evolved Art Gallery Bloodsuckers Exhibition. It is the first canvas print of this specific art piece to ever be printed in a 16″x20″ size. The original artwork that this canvas print was created from was hand drawn in pencil, charcoal & colored pencil on 8″x10″ paper & is owned by actress Deborah Ann Woll, whose portrayal of Jessica Hamby in True Blood inspired the artist to create it.”

So, wither you are a fangbanger or creature of the night who happens to be near Ventura, California be ready to rise September 12th – October 31st, 2026 and come thirsty for some killer art made by over 70 artists at Evolved Art Gallery! The opening takes place on the 12th with free viewings every weekend through Halloween. While you are there, be sure to tell Christina that Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya! She works incredibly hard to put these shows on, and I am truly honored to have my work be selected once again by “a fine art gallery for creative misfits!“🦇

And if you are stuck in the Midwest like me, or anywhere else that is far away from the “Golden State” of Cali, you will be happy to know that all the pieces in this show will be available to sink your teeth into online as well. That’s right…you don’t have to miss out supporting us artists involved in this show cause your crypt is too far away. You can go take a bite of the action via the gallery’s Shop page once the show opens and get your claws on these one-of-a-kind vampiric pieces from the shadows of your very own tomb sweet tomb. ⚰️

Every piece in the gallery is strictly human-made, celebrating gothic lore, cinematic immortality, and creatures of the night. So spend your money wisely this spooky season and choose one-of-a-kind human made art instead of mass produced garbage. I promise, you most definitely won’t find anything featured in this line up at a Spirit Halloween.

Last but not least, if you are new here, and just happened upon this post, be sure to check out the Creature Features page of my portfolio website. There, you can find this exhibition listed alongside some of the other unique places my art has been featured over the years.

Soundgrowler Brewing Features Living Dead Girl Nicole as Artist of the Month for September 🍻🖼️✨

Posted on by

I could not have asked for a ghouler way to kick off the “ber” months and spooky season than by being able to announce that I have been chosen by Soundgrowler to be their Featured Artist of the Month for September! This means my work will be on display and available to purchase at their brewery all month long!

Last night my husband Frank and I loaded up the truck in the smoldering heat, headed to the brewery to enjoy some tacos and drinks off their menu and got to work setting up my display. I can honestly say I could not have done it all without him. He helped me unload everything and get the nails and my prints on their display board just how I had envisioned it during the months of planning. I set up the tables and print racks and got his feedback along the way. Together we were able to put together a great display of my work and I could not be happier with how it came out.

Of all the times I have been to Soundgrowler and admired the Artist of the Month displays over the years, it was surreal looking over and seeing that the work now on display was actually mine.

Now as you can see my display is all prints of my hand drawn/hand painted pieces of artwork. This includes 2 very rare 16×20″ giclee framed prints that are the first of their kind! This also means my hand crafted pieces of work are still on display in my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL. along with a sign I designed to inform my art collectors who shop there that my prints are temporarily on display at Soundgrowler in Tinley Park, IL. for the month of September and will be restocked in early October.

My goal was to allow my art collectors to be able to go experience both of these amazing small businesses who support me as an artist. I mean who wouldn’t want to get engulfed in nostalgia while getting in a treasure hunting fix at one place and then follow it up with some delicious Mexican food and uniquely crafted drinks in a rocking atmosphere at the other. Allowing you to spend your hard earned money this spooky season at local small businesses instead of big box stores and inauthentic beer and food chains.

And when you do, please be sure to tell them both that Living Dead Girl Nicole sent ya and make sure to snap a few photos of you with my displays and the work of mine you purchase. I would love to feature them in my Freaky Fanatics slideshows!

And as someone whose marketing brain never stops, I also designed this flyer that is being used to promote my collaboration with this killer brewery and would love if everyone could take a moment to share it (and this post) to help spread the word. You may have already even seen it in the September issue of the Artflow Alliance Insider e-newsletter that just hit inboxes yesterday (thank you once again Dominique)!

Want to see other ways my artwork has been featured? Then be sure to check out the Creature Feature section 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 make some magic together!
