“ATTA GIRL NICOLE!” is all I keep saying to myself after tuning into The Ghost & Mr Chicken 👻🐔 on Svengoolie Saturday night. If you’ve seen the movie before you get the pun but it’s the awe of seeing my artwork on the show that makes it that much more meaningful!
I received an email from Svengoolie (yes, Rich Koz himself) a couple of weeks ago giving me a heads up that my artwork would be featured on the show. So naturally I began counting down the days until I got to tune in. In the mean time I was spreading the word to my art collectors/supporters to all do the same without giving too much away.
When the day finally arrived my husband Frank and I had already planned on making it a whole exciting evening in at home. We got some pizzas, some Uncle Arnie’s, put on our comfy clothes and sat back and enjoyed the film and took in this very memorable episode together. When Kerwyn announced it was time for mail call I had my camera ready and got some great screenshots.
Not only did they feature my “You’re All Grown Up Now” split face portrait that I framed and gifted to Sven, but Gwengoolie also modeled the Glamour Ghoul Dead Girl Decay barrette I made for her on the show as well! That was all thanks to Sven who was kind enough to hand deliver it to her on my behalf after giving it to him with the portrait at Flashback Weekend. To top it off Sven even made it a point to give my Dad a little shout out cause I told him how much he loves the show. I can’t even begin to explain how full my creepy little heart is right now.
I also was able to get a recording of the feature on my phone and thanks to my dear fiend Ben Lewandowski of Dead Regime Media, the sound has been edited to make it louder and clearer for sharing….
To top off being in complete awe of seeing my work on what is such an iconic show for our local horror community, it was the emails, texts, and posts that poured in from my art collectors both during and after the show that really set me from cloud 9 to cloud 10! To see how many of you found ways to tune in or DVR the show without even knowing exactly what to expect but trusting that it was something very special to me, really put things into perspective of how much you guys truly believe in me. This here is just a snippet of what I received from you guys and I would be fibbing if I said I am not tearing up typing this and looking at how many of you chose to spend your Saturday evening in just to support me. 🥹
Let’s hope that by all of you tuning in on my behalf led to skyrocketing the shows ratings on MeTv for Rich Koz, Sarah “Pin Up Palmer” and the entire production crew who were ghoul enough to make this special moment happen for me. I mean I have always had nothing but mad respect and admiration for all of them (hence why they inspired me to create in the first place) but now when I think of them I will forever be haunted by this moment in all the best ways and am truly grateful to them for it.
Did you tune in on Saturday and see my work on the show? If so throw a rubber chicken in the comments of this post letting me know! And if you are new here, be sure to go check out the fan photo pages of the Svengoolie website that features my work as well as my Creature Features page that lists many of the other fun and unique places my artwork has been featured over the years!
Stay Strange & Magical, ✨
