Well, the cat’s out of the bag, and in a way, so am I.

As many of you know, about six years ago I went into a bit of a vendor hibernation. I started selling my artwork on consignment with Closet Collectibles, and it has been much easier to balance my time and energy by focusing on my in store display. That way, my collectors can browse and purchase my pre-made pieces at anytime.

In other words, I usually turn down vending events. But this one is different.

My incredibly talented and supportive friend, April Adams, is putting together a special event to give back to her network of artist friends by creating a space for them to be seen, supported, and celebrated. She is bringing together a community of amazing creatives and giving them more exposure and opportunity to share their creations. Since I am not currently working, the timing felt aligned, and honestly, it felt like a calling to show up, support her vision, and stand alongside her and other local artists.

So with that being said, I am officially dusting off my vendor booth gear for this event and it would mean the world to me if my art collectors would come out and be a part of it. It will be a fun opportunity to purchase art from real human artists (no AI here), jam out to live local music, stuff your face on delicious grub from local food trucks, sip a drink or two at the hosts’ tavern, meet some adorable goats on the farm, and even get your own creative energy flowing with a live paint and sip. And it gets better… its FREE to attend!

If you subscribed to the Artflow Alliance Insider last month, after Dominique Sahms featured my idea of an Art Gifting Guide that showcased several of my handmade creations, then you should have already received the December issue in your inbox as of yesterday. However, if you are not subscribed yet, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear that the Anti-AI Art shirts and sticker packs I designed, are being showcased in this month’s issue.

For those just learning about them, you can buy these professionally made-to-order t-shirts or pre-made sticker packs in my Etsy shop. Sticker packs are also available to purchase in person at a discounted in-store price** when shopping my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL! So whether you’re an artist, an art lover, or just someone who values what makes human creativity so special, show your support by purchasing them today.

Also In this issue of Artflow Alliance Insider you will find a reminder about the free Haunted Histories Virtual Art Exhibition that features two of my art pieces and ends on December 31st. If you haven’t had a chance to get a spooky art fix in yet, now is the perfect time to check it out before the year ends.

You can find these and more examples of where my artwork has been featured on the Creature Features page of my portfolio website. And if you are interested in showcasing my work in your next publication or exhibition, let’s connect and make some magic together!

Etsy’s 20th Boosts Support For Artists For A Limited Time!

Etsy is turning 20, and to celebrate, they’re boosting the benefits of their Share & Save program, meaning I get to keep more of my earnings when you use my special link to shop!

Having been laid off in February, this couldn’t come at a better time. Every order you place through my Etsy shop helps me keep creating the spooky, whimsical art you love, but now more than ever, it helps me to pay bills!

Here’s the key: to make sure more of your purchase supports me as the artist, you must use my direct Share & Save link:

👉 livingdeadgirlnicole.etsy.com 👈

This lets Etsy knows you found me because you are one of my art collectors and not just from searching their platform or seeing paid ads, in turn I get a bigger share of earnings from your orders during this limited-time promo (through July 23 at 9am ET).

So, in other words, if you’ve been eyeing one of my creations now’s the perfect time to grab it and know more of your money goes to me and not to Etsy fees.

If you are new here, be sure you also bookmark the link and use it whenever shopping or sharing my work, so I will receive at least the 4% after this special promo is over with.

Thank you for supporting independent artists. Your orders mean the world to me now and always!

Stay Strange & Magical,

LDG Nicole
