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 Issue 2

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

Weird Professional Magazine Living Dead Girl Nicole Feature

👀 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 (pre-orders are open until June 1st) as well.

🤩 A big shoutout 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.

I Support Human Handmade Art Keychains Just Dropped! 🚫🤖

First off, I want to thank all my art collectors who have purchased one of the t-shirts and/or sticker packs I designed as a way to show support for human artists and our mission that AI can never replace our human touch.

With that being said, your enthusiasm for this mission inspired me to design more goodies for you guys. I am excited to announce that I have just added a limited number of keychains to the Stay Human section of my Etsy shop, and I will also be dropping off a few at Closet Collectibles for my in-store* shoppers.

So whether you are an artist, an art lover, or just someone who values what makes human creativity so special, these keychains are your chance to help us drive away the bots. Clip one onto your keys, bag, or backpack and show off your support for human creativity no matter where the road takes you.

Each keychain measures 2″x 2″ and is professionally printed on acrylic with a clear snap closure and stainless steel key ring. The back of each keychain has a sparkly glittery finish that I added myself to give it a “touch” of my own added flare. Each one comes individually wrapped in holographic sealed packaging. Great for gifting! Limited quantities, while supplies last.

In a world where technology is rapidly taking over opportunities, it is more important than ever that we remind each other what makes us human. So if you are ready to show your support for human artists, please shop my Anti AI Merch and help spread the message by sharing this post and encouraging others to be the key that helps open more doors for human creatives.

Stay Strange & Magical ✨️,

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!

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.
