Happy October 1st my Freaky Fanatics! I have some fun and exciting news to share with all of you! Night Terror Magazine just released Issue 25 of their killer publication today and this one is extra special. The Of The Land & Winter Wails Issue is not only a community issue but it’s also their first quarterly issue and it features a very ghoul Holiday Gift Guide spotlighting small businesses that were hand selected by their editors…. including mine!

How fun are these graphics they created for the social post announcements….

This literary mag is filled with incredible folklore and short stories from the very talented horror community and although you can scroll the pages digitally online, I highly recommend purchasing a print copy. Not just for that nostalgic feeling of reading something in your hand that isn’t on a screen, but also to see all the hard work that goes into every page this publication puts together. You can find my work and shop featured in the gift guide section on page 60 of the digital zine (screen shot below) and can also order a copy in their shop on their website.

For those not familiar with Night Terror Magazine here is a snippet about them and why I was honored to be chosen to be a part of what they are producing:

Authors, artists, creatives, and enthusiasts make up this incredible community and it’s our mission to provide a platform to encompass the creative sphere. Night Terror supports the artistic liberation of self-publishing and empowers independent creators in the horror genre.

You can also check out and bookmark the Creature Features page of my portfolio website.

And if you are someone interested in showcasing my work in your next publication, exhibition, or creative venture let’s connect and start making some magic together!

Stay Strange & Magical, ✨

If you enjoyed Issue 1 and Issue 2 of the Weird Professional Zine, get excited because Issue 3 is officially out now!

Just like with Issue 2, we were encouraged once again to design our own page(s)​ when we submitted our content, so this time I decided to layout and showcase my unique artistic way of “planting the seeds of the strange” with my handmade Potster Monstrosities!

Here is a how my finished page looks published in the zine….

Be sure to give the online version of the whole zine a look through and discover all the weird and wonderful things everyone submitted. It will be available on Flipbook (for 1 year) and you can also purchase a print copy and it is also available as a part of a bundle if you didn’t get your hands on the first two issues.

A big shoutout once again to our Fellowship Of The Weird Editor-in-Chief, Ambra Hubert for continuing to make this literary magazine possible and for giving all of us ‘weirdlings’ 👾 a platform to express ourselves without judgment!

Being a part of unique projects like this is exactly why I love sharing my work publicly.

If you don’t want to miss the fun ways my artwork is being featured be sure to subscribe here (it’s free) and bookmarking the Creature Features page 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 start making some magic together!

Weird Professional Zine No. 2 Features “Walk On The Wild Side”Artwork By Living Dead Girl Nicole 👾✨

If you enjoyed seeing me and so many talented LinkedIn ‘weirdlings’ 👾 featured in the debut issue of the Weird Professional Zine, then you are really going to enjoy what everyone has compiled for Issue No. 2. Not only is there more content than the debut issue, but the zine has sponsors now as well.

For this issue, we were encouraged to design our own page(s), and apparently mine is instantly recognizable because, as so many people have told me, my ‘branding is on point.’ I guess my 15 years of marketing experience finally has its benefits for something on LinkedIn. Now if only those skills could pay the bills and their platform would actually help me land a legit job. 🙃

For my submission I decided to use my “Walk On The Wild Side” portrait I did of Howie Mandel and Maurice from Little Monsters. I felt it really encapsulates the strange fun vibe of the literary mag. Ironically I had submitted my page months prior to getting invited to Howie’s show and getting to meet him, so the universe really was aligned with this one and apparently my intuition was on point as well.

Weird Professional Magazine Features Artist Living Dead Girl Nicole In First Issue

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I have been connecting with some really amazing folks on Linkedin as a result of being laid off last year and going full force on both my job hunt and artwork marketing endeavors. So much so that I am actually a part of many “hashtag” founded groups filled with people who understand that you can be your offbeat self and still be a professional. Breaking the stereotype that business means boring.

One of these amazing hashtags that have helped me find my fellow like minded “weirdlings” is “WeirdLinkedIn” by Orana Velarde, which then transformed into the Fellowship Of The Weird LinkedIn Group, described as “the ultimate hangout for those of us who embrace the quirky, the offbeat, and the marvelously strange. To give you a judgment-free zone where you can let your weird flag fly and to build a warm, welcoming community where anyone identifying as weird (and proud of it) feels right at home.”

And like most of us that feel right at home amongst the strange and unusual, we are also a pool filled with many talents. So Ambra Hubert wanted to find a creative way to showcase that to the world. Especially during this terrible tsunami of unemployment a majority of us are trying to survive through right now. The end result was her creating the very first issue of the Weird Professional Community Zine.

Here is a screenshot of the beautiful page layout she created that features some of the wording from my LinkedIn profile along with my Alter Ego Monsterpieces!

Be sure to give the online version a look through and discover all the weird and wonderful things everyone compiled to launch this great endeavor! It will be available on Flipbook (for 1 year) and you can also purchase a print copy of it as well.

You can also find this magazine and more examples of where my art 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, exhibition, or creative venture let’s connect and make some magic together!
