While I continue to ride this rollercoaster that is this nightmare of a job market, one thing holds true. My LinkedIn network has pulled through for me time and time again since being laid off. Wither its buying my art that has helped me financially, reposting/spreading the word about my creations and job search on their profiles, commenting words of encouragement, reacting to my silly Muppet gifs, or sharing opportunities with me, I am honestly so incredibly grateful to all of the connections I have made on there.

Which leads me to Dominique Sahms the Founder and Curator of Artflow Alliance. As an artist herself, Dominique created Artflow Alliance to be a collaborative artist network that connects creatives worldwide. Through curated exhibitions, open calls, and artist spotlights, she helps support artists in expanding their reach, building community, and sustaining their practices.

With that being said, Dominique reached out to me about my work, asking if she can feature some of my pieces in her next Virtual Art Exhibition: Haunted Histories, and I am so honored to be a part of it.

This exhibition theme focuses on:
🕯️Stepping into the shadows of memory
🏚️ Abandoned places and ghost towns
🪶 Cultural myths, folklore, and oral traditions
👪 Family lineage and ancestral echoes
📜 Historical events and overlooked narratives
☠️ The concept of history itself as a haunting force

The exhibition runs from Halloween, October 31st – December 31st, 2025 and the great thing is you don’t even have to leave your home or travel to view and support the artists who are participating in it. Everything can be viewed online via a free, interactive 3D art gallery. Allowing more artists and art collectors from around the globe to participate.

So starting TOMORROW, be sure to visit the exhibition link so you can freely scroll the virtual walls showcasing all the hauntingly beautiful art that is being featured, including my “Maybe Today Satan” and “Nothing Is Trivial” split-face portraits.

While there be sure to leave a ❤️ on the virtual display of my art pieces to show them some love and let me know you visited, and like always sharing this post to help spread the word for us artists would mean the world to us. Especially in this day and age where AI art is in the spotlight. Lets keep reminding the world where the true talent lies.. in human art.

“Nothing Is Trivial” a Tribute to Eric Draven by Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole

Having a compromised immune system has kept me indoors for weeks now due to COVID, but the positive side to this is that it has gotten me inspired to use this time indoors to create! I started a new “magical” line of products that I can not wait to show you. However I find that the best way to photograph and showcase these items will be outdoors. So once I am able to keep social distancing at bay and the weather stays nice enough to give me the opportunity to photograph them I will get them posted. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, I do have something I want to share that I just completed this weekend. It is a new Spitting Image portrait that I was able to tick off my art bucket list. As someone who still wishes it was the 90s, had a huge Brandon Lee Rapid Fire poster on her bedroom wall (in high school), and has been in complete awe of the movie The Crow all these years…this was a long time coming.

I was inspired and named this art piece after one of my favorite lines that Eric Draven says to Sgt. Albrecht when he is describing his wife Shelly to him. There are many lines in the movie The Crow that I love (“It Can’t Rain All the Time” being my favorite) but like Shelly, I too tend to notice and appreciate the “silly little” things in life that most people tend to overlook. Eric tells Sgt. Albrecht how trivial he thought her concept of those things were until it was too late. It’s something you can tell he realizes that he appreciated and loved about her but most importantly how right she was. It also makes you as the viewer realize how precious life is and the turmoil of emotions and pain he is going through. The same realization we all felt when Brandon himself died unexpectedly when filming the movie. To me it really encapsulates everything the movie is to me. So I titled it… “Nothing Is Trivial”….

I decided to do this one in my Split Face portrait style as I wanted to capture Eric before and after he becomes “The Crow” not only with his face but also with the use of color. I used pencil, charcoal and chalk pastels to bring my vision to life. I am glad I waited all these years to draw this one. I hope as the 27th anniversary of his passing approaches that this reminds people of Brandon Lee’s legacy, the incredible gift of his talents and how precious life really is.

To see more of my portrait work visit the Spitting Image page of my Portfolio site. If you are interested in purchasing prints or t-shirts of this piece you can do so by visiting my Amazon Shop! Please also note that once Closet Collectibles is re-opened after the Government Shutdown I will drop prints off there so that they are available to purchase in person as well.

Stay Spooky & Safe!
