Frank Schieber contacted me to let me know that everyone now has FREE access to my exclusive artist interview on the Cool Hand Frank platform! So if you were not able to sign up to access it when it went live last May or if you didn’t get a chance to read it when it was temporarily free during spooky season, then nows your chance to give it a gander on the official Artist Interviews section of their website.

From my original May 27, 2025 post: “Not only was it an insightful and energizing conversation, but I’m also thrilled to be the very first artist spotlighted in their brand new interview series. We had a blast diving into the inspiration behind my branding and artistic pseudonym, how Midwest horror, pop culture, and the local rock scene have shaped my work, my evolution through different artistic mediums, and which iconic figures living and dead I dream of gifting my art to. I also share some fun facts that might surprise my collectors, how the Soska Sisters pulled me out of an artistic funk, and even reveal my go-to beverage for keeping the creative blood flowing.” Read it here now!

Exciting news! You’ve seen the t-shirts I designed to champion the message for us artists that “AI can never replace our human touch”. Well now there’s an additional way to support this mission with my new Anti AI Art Sticker Packs!

So whether you’re an artist, an art lover, or just someone who values what makes human creativity so special, these sticker packs are your chance to really stick it to the bots! Use them to deck out your car, laptop, water bottle, sketchbook, or anywhere else you want to show off your support for human creativity.

Each pack includes 1 sticker of each of the following designs:
✨️ 3″x 3″ I Support Human Handmade Art Circle Logo
✨️ 3″x 3″ Living Dead Girl Nicole Bride Circle Logo Holographic
✨️ 3″x 3″ I Support Human Handmade Art Circle Logo Holographic
✨️ 6″x 1.64″ I Support Human Handmade Art Logo

Every sticker is professionally printed on premium vinyl with a permanent adhesive and coated with a protective laminate, making them waterproof, scratch-proof, and built to last. They come in holographic sealed packaging (as shown in the photos above), making them perfect for gifting!

In a world where technology is rapidly evolving, it’s more important than ever to remind ourselves of what makes us human. So if you’re ready to stick up for us human artists, purchase your sticker packs (and made-to-order t-shirts) for a limited time in my Etsy shop or in person at a discounted rate* at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL. Don’t forget to also share this post to help spread the word.

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.

I Support Human Handmade Art Shirts Just Dropped! 🚫🤖

In a world where artificial intelligence is making waves in every corner of our lives, there’s one thing I believe we can’t replace and that is the human touch. That’s why I’ve designed my latest T-shirt collection to show support for what truly makes my art special, its handmade, human origins.

Long before AI, I have always prided myself in the fact that I only use design software when it comes to creating graphics for marketing and mockups (even these shirts were designed this way). My portraits are hand drawn on paper using pencils, charcoal and pastels. My paintings made with canvas, paintbrushes, and paint. My creations sculpted and glued with my very own two hands (with the hot glue gun burns to prove it). My work literally carries my fingerprints and that is something no computer or algorithm can ever capture.

And don’t get me wrong, AI can do a lot of things. It can generate and mimic shocking realistic visuals, craft music, write poetry and even create an actor for your next feature film. So much so that it’s now become harder and harder for us creatives to find employment (I should know as I am still looking for my next opportunity), but it can’t replicate the soul, emotion, or the way us human express our true selves in our work. That is why it has to steal from us in order to “create”.

These “I Support Human Handmade Art” shirts are more than just clothing, they are a statement to champion for us creatives who pour our heart and souls into our work and carve out new ways of thinking and seeing the world. They’re a representation of the spirit of individuality and rebellion that has always fueled creative work. So whether you’re an artist, an art lover, or just someone who values what makes human creativity so special, these shirts are your chance to wear your heart on your sleeve for us.. literally.

In a world where technology is rapidly evolving, it’s more important than ever to remind ourselves of what makes us human. So if you support the idea that creativity should come from human hands, lets start a revolution! Support me as an artist, share this post, and order one of these statement shirts in my Etsy shop today!

Stay Strange & Magical ✨️,
